Selling my Mocopi for relatively cheap

Used them for a bit, they work great standing and dancing, but a bit iffy on the sitting/laying. I'd love to use moSlime but I honestly have dealt with VR Jank™ for the past 8 years and don't have it in me to set that up.

A reminder today is the annual day all the kids unwrap their new Quests and run right off into VRChat unattended like a screaming barbarian horde.

Merry Questmas, and stay safe in PC-only worlds or private instances when you can everyone :shepface:.

Sorry I forgot to post about it beforehand, but we just put on an amazing show, including what I believe to be the first ever musical improv performance in vr.

Oh hey I think I met you at one of Resnauv's shows.

In other news, looks like VRChat broke 100k concurrent users last night! I think that's up over 10k from last year.

That one in particular is a really good chill world. The horseback sequences are relaxing on their own, but the campsites are where you'll end up spending most of your time. The fire effect is really good on quest

Nah, the ones that could paywall stuff already do so behind a Patreon, and have done for years.

World Persistence is gonna be invaluable to places with a bunch of post-processing and optimization settings (Eg; club worlds), because now you can just set them once and never have to touch them ever again.

I feel like a handful of worlds that current offer save-via-string (Idle Home, Terrors of Nowhere) could easily go, "hey, you want auto save? give us some v-bucks. (or sub to the patreon)"

At least to me, that feels like the exact sort of convenience people might be tempted to try to charge for, because these are the exact sorts of worlds I give a poo poo about persistence for. I doubt anyones going to try to charge for "save your post processing settings" but anyone making complex enough or progression/currency based game worlds might.

Kind of disappointed in the Drum Hero world, there doesn't seem to be an easy way to calibrate like Udon Saber, and the hit detection felt really off.

e: Also something really cool that blew up is my friend's implementation of brain control in VRChat

The big thing I don't like about Drum Hero world is the sheer amount of World Tour/Band Hero poo poo charts :colbert:

Yeeaaah I know you can filter but normal folks ain't gonna know that 'Nu'-Hero charts are shithouse.

The Quest 3 now has upper body tracking (plus leg estimation) and Virtual Desktop can pass those to SteamVR as Vive Tracker data.

I gave it a shot in VRChat and... it works! You can bend your body about and your legs stay put instead of moving around like they used to, and the leg estimation looks better than the default leg behaviour in VRC as well. It obviously isn't going to be good enough for someone who needs actual body tracking, but for casual use it is a big step up, I'm really impressed.

That sounds fantastic given the quest 3's pricepoint, compared to actual full body tracking. How's it handle sitting and lying down? Guessing not as well as standing.

I still need to check out the Index controller emulation for Virtual Desktop, though I imagine you'd be stuck in place while using it.

SteamVR Input 2.0 can't come soon enough, and with that hopefully Steam Link will also add hand tracking passthrough :v: Would be the only way I'd be able to do the Live Long and Prosper 🖖 thing on Desktop, since you can't splay without eating up a lot of avatar parameters.

I took a few screenshots earlier - leaning over sideways, leaning backwards and lying down propped up on my elbow respectively:





The lying pose is reasonably accurate, considering. Crouching consistently gave a crouching animation as well, although it didn't always guess my knee position correctly when doing things like bending over and putting my hands on my knees. Basically it's guessing your leg position based on what it thinks you're probably doing, but that does mean that poses pretty consistently look good and believable, even if they aren't actually accurate and your feet will slide around a fair bit when you start sitting and lying, as expected.

E: This was just mirroring my avatar so there's no shadows, which makes the lying pose in particular look a bit more floaty than it is.

thanks for the testing and pics! That seems better than I expected, and definitely workable for folks without full body tracking options.

That's pretty exciting, the character controller update sounds interesting too, it specifically calls out "Players can stand on moving platforms." - which seems like it will be pretty handy for game worlds and puzzle/exploration worlds. I feel like i've already seen people pull it off, but it's sometimes been super janky (causing the player to spin for no reason)
