What is this extra bone on my avatar?

Well I learned something!
Thanks for the help Jay

[@voxdraco]

I love how a ton of people are pointing out that I am using light mode lol. Here is why I am using it:- I installed discord, logged in and that's it. I didn't change any settings because I am lazy.

[@MPVR08]

are you a 2015 user?

[@Just_a_commenter]

That grin from the other character at the end lmao I wonder how many of the commonly used avatar models have bone support down there...

[@Kasumi_Tashi]

you'll be surprised lol

[@alwaysyouramanda]

And are those pupils dilated!?

[@voxdraco]

@@alwaysyouramanda Jay is a blender/unity/shader wizard. He's made a lot of things in the game and yes, his pupils dilate. I think it's a shader that does that for him.

[@emanwonkon2205]

How would one go about making an avatar for you?

[@MeganFoxx426]

More than you'd think, lol.

[@Dravain]

Love it! Especially how the conversation seems quite natural in this video :D

[@voxdraco]

I am getting better at acting, lucky for me Jay has done audiobooks before so hes a great speaker to start with! Thank you!

[@_________3235]

the most cursed thing in this whole video is light mode discord and windows

[@Daggett1122]

I love the matter-of-fact way he asked 'do you want to know how to use DPS'?

[@BladeSmith1928]

Ahhh yes, DPS, the Dynamic Particle System. It changes colors as you move around in your VRChat world!

[@turkeyinahumandisguise5300]

I'm going to see that grin in my nightmares.

[@arvurebantra7639]

I feel even worse because my assumption was that it's just attached to the spine and tail, so had to do with the tail... and then suddenly... I realized... Oh god...

[@Kami15Grim]

I just want to be sure.. I don’t have any knowledge of models, is the joke that the bone is used for an, *extra* feature?

[@arvurebantra7639]

@@Kami15Grim DPS is a scripting system for... things. Adult... things. It's where that part would probably be attached (though I've seen some bones be in that area for tails and some other physics you may not see normally.)

[@TheJECNova]

Begun learning process of figuring out many these and other designs features. It's a challenge doing it blindly, but satisfying, as it's better retention for my memory. Doing hands and head is gunna be a royal PITA to get right.

[@draganoidept]

Damn. Let me start by saying, my guy, that is a hecking adorable otter avatar! I send you all my hugs and pets! I think it is fine for those to be there. As long as it really doesn't get in the way and can be safely deleted for those who don't want it. In the end of the day is just more choices for everyone really.

[@PolyOttr]

Thank you~ ¦3

[@PhunkieZero]

I love both these avatar models, are they both custom or are there store pages?

[@voxdraco]

Mine is a modified Kipuluu, Jays is his own from scratch.

[@alwaysyouramanda]

😂😂😂 I actually want to learn how to use it… for educational purposes only!!

@JayOtt I had a freaking kid! XD Heh, not on VRC too often, but I'll return once the "Daddy responsibilities" are a bit less strenuous. :3

[@mothsarecool524]

@@JayOttoh hey! loved the way you said, "Do you want to know how to use DPS?", that was so funny lmao really enjoyed the video :>

[@MiMiGunDK]

surprisingly some avatars are unfortunately made in a strange way where there are extra bone in different places on it and if you unfortunately delete them so will the Avatar not work as it should

[@arvurebantra7639]

This was my thought. That it's possibly related to spine and tail movement more than... that...

[@chris_is_here_oh_no]

Awesome video, that was great!

[@professordey]

I just wish there was a way I could sample the avatar because I really want to know how exactly you're getting the cheek fluff and such which does seems to be 3d to look so good while the rest of the body more obviously uses Warren's fur shell shader, which is required in my case since I play Resonite which doesn't support VRchat's shader engine. But sadly there's very little information on the web about good ways to do nice looking fur like that in a performant enough way to use in VR. I'd love a video showing how your avatar comes together to work so well.

[@josejoestrela493]

dps means damage per second 🤓

[@firedoggo]

Light mode Discord indeed hurt me.

[@Subreon]

woah, you're training to be a magician! a peep that uses 3d modeling software, or does programming. heccin awesome uwu (i say peeps that do that are magicians cuz magic is a simile for incomprehensible)

[@rosegray4061]

Those words are menacing lmao "Do you want to know how to use DPS?" Snrk-

LOL YES brilliant stuff as always

your avatar has so much hair oh my god..

Discord didn't bother me ... the nose ring that seems to be attached to the air bothers me. :P
