HOW DID I MISS THIS AAAH thank uyou soosososo much

[@rettocam]

As a frequent VRCLens at clubs and events, even I learned more than one new thing! This was a very long overdue video too, especially with all the updates it recently has received. I think you did really well explaining the features and I'll be sharing this video with those who want to learn more about it. Definitely worth the watch, beginning to end!

[@venixia.]

This video is so good! I had no idea that VRCLens did all of these things. Thanks for making this.

[@zyon4531]

this tutorial is amazing and very very useful! Been needing to learn vrclens for tiktok for a while so this is perfect!

[@Mr.SpicyIce]

The one thing I want from VRChat is the ability to pin the camera to an avatar body part. A body worn camera to be more like the true troll I am.

[@sleepingxawake]

I'm only 7 min in and I'm sold haha Okay returned after watching, this was such a good tutorial! and just guide to checking this out. I've been wanting to get into recording video well in VRChat for so long this will be so helpful! Thanks for this!

[@gerzybow]

I learned a lot from this! Thank you so much for sharing! I remember accidentally running into a couple of those tricks and I couldn't remember how to replicate 'em (the camera continuously moving when menu is disabled, and pivot tracking your left hand). Thank goodness I wasn't the only one! My only suggestion is that creating chapters for your video in the KZbin settings can really help make it easier to navigate in case someone needs to go back to a specific section of the video. Overall though, I really appreciated this extensive and in-depth tutorial. I'll definitely refer back to this sometime and I'd love to see more of what ya create!

[@Leonevr]

So helpful!! ❤ thank you!

[@Pedro2figueiredo]

I can't thank you enough for this Tutorial. I'll put this power to good deeds.

[@quipsilvervr]

This video is a godsend, than you so so much for making it.

[@EnnTomi1]

oh damn i didnt know such thing exists. As someone who does photograph in real life, I really find the ingame camera hard to use. This video perfectly shows all the options and guides me how to archive it in a well present way, bravo !

[@CarlosAustin]

Good video with a lot of detail of what's possible. Would love to see more of how to use in desktop mode. Thank you Lilly.

[@VirtuaLilly]

I really need to explore more aht desktop mode can do for sure !

[@chaoticaxolto]

I didnt know about this product I usually use the camera on vrchat but this seems a lot better than that glad I been teaching myself how to work Unity and how to add assets but I bought this to try it out!~.

[@Hexapoda.Resident]

Great video, it show that it is nothing for me but also that it goes in more work than we think to make great VRC content and that it is not as easy as just cun around with the standard camera.

[@loserisonline]

feeling alot of kda and kpop in the dance UGH ITS SO GOOD

[@HipsterKhan]

thank you for the tutorial.

[@VicioGamer47]

Really liked a lot this tutorial :3 the only thing i had a question is how i modify the filters, because if i focus my avatar it only apply the filter to a little part of the avatar like only my face or things like that and not the whole avatar like you shows, i need to do something? Make bigger the focus zone or something like that? thanks nwn

[@Losjo4093]

Im an animator and i think i could use this for animations because then i can make a character and use vr for the tracking

[@VirtuaLilly]

I'm glad you can find some new ways to explore creativity!

[@chaos4000]

I find the flying weird the way it sounds i mean it might be the best but like it would be awesome if there was a way to use both joysticks like an actually drone i would like that so much better but that might be the best they could do for now still has a lot of other cool features

[@mik-official7266]

Oki I'm not sure if I missed it if you talked about it I'm sorry if you did but is there any way to make the vrclens local to save params and memory? Or will I forever have to delete stuff off a is to make space?🥺😭🙏

[@arianasalazar1481]

I want to know how to have the menu on bottom of camera pop on and not main menu. Cuz it won’t let me take pictures or videos

[@King-cl0ver]

What do I do if I don't show up in the lens everyone and everything else is but it won't load me this I hard because I take a lot of pictures and can't really do that if I can't see myself

[@nicoleweintraub9710]

Do I need my own costume private avatar or could I do this with any avatar wether it's private or public?

[@wanderingyouth5953]

What FPS do you general recommend for shooting VRC videos?

[@pikachgirl5579]

hate to say this but does not work of march 28th 2024 i used the some unity and everything and nothing is working could you please do a update video please or a step by step one but other then that love the videos

[@pikachgirl5579]

can u please help me please im trying to get vrclens on my avatar and its not working i keep geting this The associated script cannot be loaded, please fix any compile errors and assign a valid script and ive tryed to put the scripts in myself and its not working please ill really love to use vrclens

[@berrydakid]

Can I add that camera on a ready player me avatar ?

[@VirtuaLilly]

You can yes, as long as you have the unity file for it. This works only as a prefab added to unity and uploaded through the VRC SDK

[@SilasOokami]

ok so i bought it and when i try to add my avatar into the target avatar its not working like yours? does it have to be the "camera" in your avatar or the whole model itself. i tried the whole model itself and it doesnt work i dont have a camera apart from the lens

[@VirtuaLilly]

should be the whole avatar parent object. make sure it has an avatar descriptor on it and it is rigged for "humanoid" (you can find this by clicking the FBX model in your assets and checking the inspector)

[@SilasOokami]

@@VirtuaLilly Got it! but now when i load up my vrchat it doesnt come up in my menu haha

[@SilasOokami]

i got it nvm lol thanks this is so great either way

[@Meowserz.]

What is your necklace i want it

[@MarcoKatITA]

what mic ur using ?

[@VirtuaLilly]

I'm just using the standard Valve Index mic

[@xr_xharprazoraxtra5428]

Is it desktop compatible ? OwO

[@BreeTheV]

Is there anything to turn off or take off the little view in your hand? It's distracting to have like three views...

[@StarryNap]

LMFAO

[@BabylonBaller]

You lost me at Unity Sighhs. Was hoping by now there was a much more simple way to record yourself in VRCHAT with that Bokeh (SHallow Depth of Field) effect

[@clipso9061]

its like a 6 click installation
