Progress! I just have some odds and ends to setup now and Oasis 3 is structurally MVP. I want to use this as an excuse to do something I always wanted to try and never had a chance, optimized box DJ event. But I will make it fancy! #VRChat

Event: @zoommair's WBW night in memory of Cl0ut. DJ: @MdntBarber World: @VRUnderground #dance #VR #performance Tragedy to lose another DJ in the VRChat space, but everyone present tried to give him a send-off he'd have enjoyed.

@ASychov @VRChat @RealSchlep I know its not but this feels like rage bait...

Read this, and then read it AGAIN! This is what's happening and it's ruining Social VR reputation and alongside kids who are playing it without any parental guide nor platform protection. Hey @VRChat are you ok having THIS on your platform?! @RealSchlep more work for you sadly

Tonight at 10PM Pacific! Thumpin Thursday is back! Let's go!

The next metal night is this Saturday at 8pm pst// 11 pm est. If you have been inching for some metal, we got you! Don't be late and don't miss the show Join the Devils Den Group to attend! 🤘 @VRChatPartyHub @VRChatPartyHub #vrchat

It is with a heavy heart that I must inform everyone that our good friend Clout has passed away. We'll be continuing with tonight's event as scheduled in his honor, and will provide a space for all to come share their thoughts and memories, or just to cry. See you all there. <3

@henrydaubrez Yeah that seems to be the case. We don't even have the tools yet to build the tools to make the tools work yet.

Spent about $1000 in credits on Seedance 2.0 over the last few weeks,and here are a few thoughts: First, the main thing that strikes me using a state-of-the-art model from this new generation is how hard it still is to scale beyond short form. Getting great animation is fast. Getting multi-cut sequences that make sense is possible. Consistency with Omnireference is actually very good. But the moment you move into real narrative work, things change. Multi-character exchanges, long sequences, maintaining visual continuity across shots, keeping tone, pacing, and staging consistent… it’s not impossible, but it is still a lot of work. And with generation costing somewhere between $2 and $7 per ~15 seconds, it adds up very quickly. As models improve, producing good looking short content is becoming trivial. Building something that holds together as a story is still not. Continue Video in Seedance is clearly trying to address part of this, but in my case it has been broken for the last couple of weeks, so none of my longer attempts would go through. In theory, you could imagine a small team of 5–10 people generating all day from the same storyboard, using a shared visual reference as a single source of truth. That alone shows how close we are to something that starts looking like a real production pipeline. But we are not fully there yet. Right now it still feels like we can touch the future with the tip of our fingers, while at the same time struggling to precisely steer a model using mostly words, references, and iterations when the narrative becomes complex. Short clips are easy. Worldbuilding is not. And storytelling is still the hardest part.

@ValenVRC943 Oh shit, well. That fixed it! Holy crap thanks!

@VRUnderground do you have the auto update volumes setting on?

So I have almost everything I need in place for Oasis 3, I just have one last really strange issue where for some reason dynamic light volumes are all static, but only in #VRChat. It works perfectly fine in unity. I am not sure why. Anyone know what might cause that?

Tonight at After Dark Saturday!

@AudacityVRC Light volumes has me wondering if I even need LTCGI anymore. This is absolutely insane, I am really surprised I don't see light volumes being used more when I hop around.

@VRUnderground You should honestly look at Arealit over LTCGI. No baking needed, less set time, majorly more performant. I was an advocate for LTCGI but honestly as a mochie user, it's so much better.

So I have a visual setup now with LTCGI + Light Volumes. So all locations in Oasis 3 are going to be using the absolute most new tech on pretty much every front. Light volumes in particular are pretty insane. The only missing piece for Oasis 3 setup will be modifying ProTV for multiple simultaneous locations and double video players. So this is going to be really different from past things I have done before. There is going to be a lot of new world uploads and each of them will have various locations. Some will be specific to a community while others will be sections of The Oasis available for anyone to use for their own events.

It's Thursday again! Tonight's gonna kick bass! Thumpin Thursday is back at 10PM Pacific! See you there!

The feelings of euphoria while performing are beyond anything else in my life. #dance #vr #performance #vr DJ: @Synthakat Venue: @VRUnderground - @Zoommair's Venue

@ToxieDrop Its good, really interesting its even remotely possible as well.

@VRUnderground is it good or bad? you got my attention

I recently just witnessed something I would have said would be impossible happen. Man, social VR is going to get a lot crazier if this trend continues. I cant talk about what I saw yet.

Tonight! Z-Crew and The Den Welcome you back to another Welcome Back Wednesday! @STEVIELEEPRICE @VRUnderground

Join us at 9pm in world or at twitch.tv/njna_grimsdott… for an evening of music and performance. #dance #music #vrchat Join @VRUnderground Oasis - > Blimp

@AceVr2112 @FluffyFemFurry Good, glad to hear it was a false accusation.

@FluffyFemFurry @VRUnderground Lmao nothings actually stolen, its been proven false, however even if it was, stop being a cornball and protecting a company that patents throwing an object at an animal.

I really like the fishing game. Congratulations to Godfall and the team for doing something so cool. Sorry to hear about people being jelly. Oh well, haters gonna hate.

@FluffyFemFurry Do we know for sure if the assets are stolen or is it just speculation. I have not seen anything concrete yet. Even still, why does it matter. I dont know, this whole thing feels off to me. I say people should enjoy the content and be happy its bringing more into VRChat.

@Engineerisaac There are just no limits anymore... it's fucking crazy.

@VRUnderground Fun adventure ahead for sure
