Furality released the panel and event schedules.
My panel "Unity Lighting & Visual Polish in VRChat" will take place the 4th of June at 6:00 PM (UTC+0), it will also be live streamed on Furality's Twitch channel.

The convention schedule for Furality Ultra is OUT NOW! Links below! 🎮🌈 Register for Furality Ultra via the link in bio.

@Raspberrykitty1 Sorry for the late reply. I'm not sure, it's a mesh renderer, so it doesn't have blend shapes to customise its shape, but maybe you could make it work by just adjusting the position and scale.
English
@MyroDev Ik it's for Spiri'Vali but can it be easily adapted for the da'vali?
English
I just updated the Spiri'Vali tech glasses on my Gumroad, it now includes a variant for Furality Ultra.
Shaders were made from scratch using the Amplify shader editor. Personally, I like how the AudioLink/video effect turned out.

The update can be downloaded on Gumroad, but if you prefer, you can also DM me on Discord (@/myrop, I have a PS1 Hagrid pfp) and I can send you the package directly. myrop.gumroad.com/l/spiritechgla…
The running Avali (originally a Starbound mod) is just an example of what can be done with a flipbook texture.
I can't share that particular flipbook texture on Gumroad due to licensing restrictions (non-commercial), so the package includes a different flipbook texture.

I don't know if it's exactly the same issue, but for worlds we have the issue that the remote player's collider is just a sphere at the feet level.
There was a dev update mentioning a collider update, under "Remote Player Collider Changes" ask.vrchat.com/t/developer-up…
Not sure why it's not implemented yet, maybe it caused some issues with existing systems.
English
yea I this was one of my biggest hopes for vrc raycast. player collision. Sadly it works even worse than IK raycasts. VRC raycast only collides on the local POV. IK raycast only collides at the feet level, but correctly locally... pleaseeeeeeeee I NEED THIS FIIIXED
OrendCross@OrendCross
I love the VRC Raycast, but still the 'Hit Players' and 'UI Layer' option still does not collide with remote players I have FinalIK assets in the works that rely on on it, and wish to upgrade! I made a now tracked canny post on on 4/3, but who knows :< feedback.vrchat.com/open-beta/p/18…

Currently working on the "Furality Ultra" update of the cyberglasses shader, which I'll release as a free update. There will be an option to set a custom flipbook texture + parallax support.
No ETA yet, as I'm also busy with a bunch of other things, but hopefully soonish

Currently, it's only possible to check if someone's on PC or Quest using U# (Unity's # UNITY_ANDROID preprocessor), but there's no built-in way in UdonGraph, and xCirrex is an UdonGraph dev.
It's definitely an important node to have, since there are many UdonGraph devs out there (not as much as U#, but still)
English
@xCirrex does bro just not know you can check which editor is in use to change attributes on upload? does vrchat's sdk block this? im a world noob but not a unity noob and fairly certain you could just... yk? use that as a boolean lol

(3/4) Worlds also play a role. Personally, my AMD CPU supports 3D v-cache, and in some large instances I can still reach max frame rate, but my PC always struggle in club worlds. One reason is that these worlds usually work with real-time lights to render special effects. To keep it simple : The scene is rendered once, which can already involve thousands of draw calls. When you add a real-time light in the scene that casts shadows, the scene needs to be rendered multiple times (depth calculation, shadow mapping, lighting passes...). This cost increases with the number of meshes (including avatars) present in the scene (That's why some comments say "if you add a RT light in the scene, the polygon count doubles"). Because of that, I'm not sure the performance-gated group instances will make a huge difference in certain worlds. Some worlds are simply not meant to render 60+ avatars, and in those cases, VRChat's avatar culling system will help a lot. But we'll see, I may be wrong here!
English
(2/4) Yes, 70000 polygons sounds pretty low, and modern GPUs can render millions of polygons really easily, they are designed for that.
But, avatars use skinned mesh renderers (SMR), which are much more expensive to render than regular mesh renderers. The more bones and polygons the avatar has, the worse the performance.
Add expensive animators in the mix, shape keys, a lot of separate meshes that don't get batched, and you can quickly run into a CPU bottleneck, especially if you're using a slightly older CPU, which I believe is the case for most people.
English
(1/4) Since VRChat announced avatar performance-gated group instances, I saw many discussions related to the current avatar performance ranking system. I decided to make this post since I've noticed a few misconceptions.
VRChat@VRChat
The Apr 9 Dev Update is here! Read about Impostor Updates, Avatar Performance Gated Group Instances, and the upcoming new Group role "Bypass Avatar Performance Requirements." ask.vrchat.com/t/developer-up…
English
One little thing. If you are using realtime lights for depth. They need to be culled to a layer where there is no geometry to overdraw on. Ignore raycast layer is what I use. The goal is to trigger the pass since VRchat bars us from doing it properly. If the depth pass is making you lag. It's what you are putting in it. Not the pass itself. Depth pass is miles faster than the opaque and transparent passes.
Only accept the depth light on shaders that need it. Ignore realtimeGI tag on baked opaque meshes is a life saver with mochie shader.
English
@Stereomuviz It's gpu skinned now? I know it can be configured in the Unity project settings, but I assumed (or more like, I was convinced) that VRC still uses cpu skinning since gpu skinning comes with limitations, for instance iirc gpu skinning has a bone count limit of 256 bones?
English
@MyroDev Although skinned mesh renderers are loaded on the gpu now, it's true that smr are way more expensive tyan static meshes, notthe gpu doesn't just process skinning calls for each smr, but also a separate skinning call for each of their active shape keys
English
@GtzigM Tupper gave an explanation here ask.vrchat.com/t/developer-up…
Screenshot below, but the actual comment is longer and has a bit more info
English
@MyroDev my question is why are we even introducing performance rating gates if everyone has tools to automatically and selectively block avis. You mentioned culling or for example blocking avis based on performance rating.
English
(4/4) My personal opinion:
Personally, I do believe that the avatar ranking system should be updated at some point, it's frustrating that an avatar can go from "medium" to "very poor" just because of 100 polygons.
There are a few things I feel like that doesn't make much sense; for instance, treating polygon counts from mesh renderers and skinned mesh renderers equally, it would be more accurate to split them into separate categories.
8 SMR totaling 60k polygons can have a worse performance impact than 1 SMR with 80k polygons due to the higher draw call count (like I mentioned above, this difference can be really huge in certan worlds).
A score-based avatar ranking system (calculated using a formulla) could be an interesting alternative, something like "performanceRanking = MeshRenderers * 2 + SkinnedMeshRenders * 8 + PolygonCount / 1000 + AvatarLight * 1000 + ..." you get the idea, I just threw in some random numbers.

@ChocoResolve Nice, congrats on your world release. The world is big, so I probably missed a few spots, but it's really nice 👍

@MyroDev Just released a map for Space Jam 2026!
