Tuesday's movie is War of The Worlds (2025)
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt13186306/

A colossal invasion of Earth is coming in this off-kilter take on the legendary novel of the same name, filled with present-day themes of technology, government surveillance, and privacy.

starting at 19:00 UTC as usual !

what are you making in blender?

>>535763731
hope you're not planning on watching that masterpiece sober because it will sensory overload you in a state of consciousness.

which vrchat aura are you getting first? I like the yellow sparkles

>>535764597
What the heck is a vrchat aura?

>>535760371
>>535757612
Reminds me to check out the tabletop simulator VR mode, I've heard it was bad.
Only real faults are I couldn't click on some of the finer buttons. Or figure out how to right click to decrease numbers.
There's a lot of zooming in and out to interact with cards usually which is a lot slower in vr, but at least the "hover and press a button to inspect a card" still works.
I could see simpler games being alright in the VR mode, but you could probably make them in VRC anyway.

remember you only get 15 minutes for your presentation

>>535764597
The grand mal type.

>>535764748
things like pic related
sparkly effects that make your avatar glow and pop

>>535764764
I tried playing mtg in TTS VR a few years ago. It was almost tolerable but still just too annoying to be fun. The worst is deck/stack searching and manipulation. Too much clicking around in a (already kind of bad) 2d UI.

>>535765386
looks like 2020 world of warcraft effects lmao

>>535764748
VRChat sent a randomized survey email asking how much you would pay for:

1. Pets that follow you around
2. Fancier stickers
3. Profile customization
4. Auras/particle effects for your avatar

I've noticed that they are really pushing store avatars too, the default homeworld mirror used to have free avatars so if you were a new player it was easy to pick something. Now the mirror has 50 pages of $20-40 USD avatars and it is actually fairly hard to find the free section of the avatar menu.

>>535766868
boy i sure do love corporate enshittification

>>535765386
Fuck. If people can hide it locally sure but I have a feeling all these additional features are gonna bloat and be unoptimized. What are the chances the auras are parent constraints running on mac 80 people in the instance. That’ll be an insane amount of Cpu overhead

Okay using Thry's helped a LOT more. It went from 205 mb texture memory to 66 mb

>>535764597
Mine will be cosmic stars if there is one
Honestly though it’ll clash so much in style

>>535761128
im just shy and a very poor conversationalist

>>535768694
same here anon, the secret is to just drink till words fall out

>>535769042
i dont like to drink more than a single beer a month...

>>535768694
I also suck at having conversations. I only speak when spoken to and I give one word answers. People get bored after 30 seconds and leave me alone.

What's with the stigma against male avatars here?

>>535769042
Don't do this. No one likes talking to drunk people who are slurring their words and not making any sense.

>>535769093
buy a bunch of alcohol free beers and mix the real beer in with them, let the placebo effect give you fake drunk confidence

>>535769276
male avatar users tend to be really gay

>>535769276
sounds paradoxical but >>535769527 is correct

>>535769142
>I only speak when spoken to and I give one word answers
Same here.
>People get bored after 30 seconds and leave me alone.
People actually try to start conversations with you?
I envy you, anon.

I want to headpat you, anon.

>>535770062
What were you expecting, sympathy?

>>535769950
post avatar.

>>535770295
Stop enabling behavior like this, it isn't healthy to keep autists - all of whom are grown men - from learning necessary social skills because you find their patheticness cute. They learn that acting cute online gets them the attention they never had and that's why we have so many troons now.

>>535766868
>Pay for thing you can slap on in 5min in Unity
VRC is catering to a crowd that should be ignored

>>535770774
They're the crowd that's willing to paypig, where the blender DIYers aren't.

I never learned how to be a normalfag so I can't teach that to him.

>>535771816
where did you get a picture of me?

surprisingly on time pypy:
https://vrch.at/ynpm5per

In place of a movie, showing the first couple episodes of Giant Robo: The Day the Earth Stood Still tomorrow at 10PM ET (in ~24h) for NA anime movie night. I'll post details to join off of when the instance is up.

>>535766868
They should stick to things that you can't replicate in an avatar, but it does make sense for the questlets.

>>535774640
where are the men?

>>535776071
Lasagna is there.

>>535776071
All of those are men.

I'm trying to get some more time out of my aging AM4 PC. 5700X3Ds are not cheap. They're around 300CAD used in my area. I could get a new 5800XT for a hair over 200. Is the performance difference that big for VR?
I'm coming from a 3600 so anything helps, but still.

>>535777047
>AMD
enjoy your funny never to be fixed oddly specific only happening to you CTDs

>>535776919
Idk how you can hang out with nothing but men who look like women every day. I'd go insane.

how many pairs of vr face panties do you have, anon?

>>535778461
lmao

>>535778461
need to pair it with the mouth cover

>>535777047
>Is the performance difference that big for VR?
Depends on the game, but the difference can be kinda big yeah.

>>535778175
getting the benefit of male intellect and emotional architecture with female shaped envelopes is actually pretty cozy

>>535763921
I got a lot of great suggestions at FBF
Everyone who said it'd be cool if the little controls moved too, I got you.
I was thinking I'd have to add bones to the arms, add bones to the controls and constrain them together somehow, but I think I can get away with just adding bones to the controls and weight painting the arms to them too.

>>535582752
I had a blast, thanks everyone!

>>535776157
Yeah im 100% masculine for sure.

>>535779068
Holy shit an actual original, funny avatar idea. That brings /vrg/'s total up to like what, 7?

>>535779905

>>535779068
dawee those little arms moving looks so cute!

>>535779905
One of the boners has an avatar like that for giant robot shenanigans.

>>535779068
Love this!

Good job.
I always appreciate people putting in the effort for this kind of stuff. It helps everyone

Hello /vrg/, it's P-san.

Last time I scouted here, I thought I’d struck gold. I proudly presented a group of handsome male idols… And then my boss flipped out on me! I'm talking red in the face screaming with rage here! I was ultimately able to get them submitted but... well...

To make a long story short: My salary was halved and now I’m only allowed instant noodles without the seasoning packet. I don't know how I'm going to make rent this month...

We still have 5 weeks until the Idol Grand Prix! Please sign up and help me save my paycheck!

What is the Idol Grand Prix, you ask? /vrg/'s top idols are all aiming to be #1 in a dazzling karaoke spectacle of Song, Dance and Fashion and I want (You) to sign up!! Pick a song you love, grab a friend or two if you want and come jam out on stage alongside other incredible acts.

https://forms.gle/Vr7GnGdjjDrjtcZF9

Sign up at the link above to participate or come cheer your friends on from the crowd on September 27th.

More announcements will drop over the coming weeks so stay tuned!

>>535794341
Is lemon lime going to be performing?

>>535796196
I am not able to confirm or deny the participants this early in the process but as the event draws closer that information will be made available.

In the meantime, if there is a group you are interested in seeing, try reaching out to them directly. I'm sure they would love to know their fans crave more of their content.

>>535766868
>how much you would pay for pets that follow you around
fairly certain half of vrchat would do it on 'just ask' basis. on a serious take, i'm fine with it as long as it doesn't block off old style avatar companions
>fancier stickers
keeping it blocked implies restricting people from being creative, bad idea
>extra profile customization
good idea, useless in general, good for milking
>particles on avatar
should be free to add on avatar as you please

I'm completely alright with VRC+ and I think it's a good idea to keep some money going, but I'd hate to see them restrict the game just because of that. Extra features, lovely, cutting off functionality, not lovely at all

>>535777047
We did a benchmark i public worlds and whatnot.

we're using anime girls because we've been shitposting with anime girl reaction images through all of our lives. it's the only form of expression we know, please understand

>>535799175
If you get excited for female form, you're slightly less gay compared to having a raging boner for male form.

It really depends on what type of male avatar.
>trap/androgynous (anime-style)
Usually fine.
>shota
Sexpest-coded. Uses the masquerade as a "little guy" as an excuse to be somewhat abrasive/rude.
>Normal Guy(tm), western-style androgynous/trap, or Hyper-masculine
Propensity to have a massive ego.

Not a rule of course, but just observations.

>>535803597
Most realistic scenario. Add outdated resolution and fov. Because in 2027 boba optics will get into mainstream quest 4 device.

> Uses the masquerade as a "little guy" as an excuse to be somewhat abrasive/rude.

This is fine because you can then rape them.

Total Trashnig Death.

most epic silly face in history!

>>535810759
it's really impressive how far away from default chocolat feel this is. in a good way, this is pretty adorable in the most wholesome way - standard chocolat is many things, but she's not really an innocent kind of face

>>535811203
if you look at any of these any see "many things" instead of a cute anime girl that's a (You) issue and you should be on a government watchlist.

>>535810759
very cute

>>535811615
Pure sex. All of them.

>>535811615
How can one man create so many wonderful designs

>>535811615
All made for sex

>>535811615
i never intended to imply anything explicitly lewd by that, but it's hilarious how it got your defense mechanism running hard enough to write this post. default chocolat is cheeky, bratty, overly confident, but not really adorable in the wholesome way. her face would be a great fit for a Nagatoro, but not for Onodera from Nisekoi.

regardless, stay defensive, it's a joy to watch. i'm sure your imaginary FBI agent is sleeping better after you wrote this post

Joy of time to be smaller, boredom finds a way
Perception in play, for what appears as an hour
Sky then gets darker, I appreciate your stay


Boredom tea will be at 18:15CEST (in a bit less than 1h)
> What?
An instance where people are encouraged to join for a cup of tea and eventual snacks if they fancy it. The instance will be closed after 30-45min
Likely in a simple room with a table and a video player
> Why?
To share relaxing time before bigger instances and after work. With a focus on things having to stay calm and simple. Making it time limited to ensure it is meant to be an in-between time rather than something big. For that reason it will be posted in the thread but as invite+

Yes, and half life 3, releasing this year with vr and flat support with cross platform multiplayer modes, along with CS2: VR.
All optimised to have alyx level graphics at 144 Hz on standalone, using eyetracked goveated rendering, with 150 degree horizontal fov and 5 hour battery life, with optional usb-c dp alt mode and headset as a 360 degree lighthouse to use your knuckles and trackers.

Bocce Time tomorrow at 18:00 UTC.

>>535833372
If it wasn't stand alone, I'd expect it to basically be a Boba 3 at best and a pimax dream air at worst

>>535834251
hm yes two headsets that have yet to release

>>535834374
Both of them have been shown off though, I don't understand

>>535833372
Valve vr game will have big audience. Alyx went extremely well, just look at amount of steam reviews

>Valve vr game will have big audience.
yea look at how well that drove Deadlock's retention
and that's a flat game

Realistic deckard expectations:

Comes out or gets officially shelved so I can stop waiting for it

>>535830482
Tea https://vrch.at/rcvzaq94

Even mid-budget PCVR exclusives make little sense anymore.
Either you water it down for standalone or you stick with the higher fidelity and add in flat support.

And Valve hasn't even announced their headset, meaning it's at least six months away. They've been working on it all this time. If it wasn't standalone I would expect a smaller and lighter form factor like the dream air or they double down on the index's strengths with a traditional form factor. The fact that those two headsets aren't out yet (B3 could never be out) would at least somewhat explain what's been taking so long

>>535836583
let alone announce it, it hasn't even had a real photo leak like Index did
it isn't coming if it doesn't do anything new to warrant making the hardware
Valve doesn't just put out run of the mill products that are the same if they can help it
they want other companies to do that for them

Alyx has way more reviews than I though it have? If it's 10% of owners writing a review, around a million "sales" is amazing for PCVR isn't it?

>>535843031
gamalytics had it with 3.7m owners but only 2.3m sales

>>535843203
I got alyx for free with my occy.

>>535843031
>amazing for PCVR
It came free with a lot of headsets. Only a fraction of a fraction there actually paid for it.
And even if all of the people actually bought it, pic related is kind of the death sentence anyways.
PCVR is a niche of a niche of a niche in the hardware world. Standalone with PCVR as a side product is much more viable, as sad as it makes me to admit this.

>>535844158
To put it into perspective... only (roughly) 400k people have a VR headset (on steam). That is not a market where you can make money. Not even remotely.

>>535844158
>pic related is kind of the death sentence anyways
i'd say almost two million potential players make up for an alright market, especially since they're starved enough to eat up just about anything

>>535844474
look at monthly unique users

>>535844158
Only with index hardware

>>535844474
>concurrent
BRUH
400k people who are ON RIGHT NOW AT THIS MOMENT have a headset, not overall.

>>535844489
>>535844565
>>535844749
yeah okay, that is fair.
I took the wrong turn in thinking, I still do think that this is not a big enough market for PCVR exclusively. no bully pls

>>535844574
>Only with index hardware
not according to the steam survey
The 1.1% are all headsets combined.

>>535844489
>i'd say almost two million potential players make up for an alright market,
Yes, for indie or single A games.

>>535845018
Alyx was given for free if steam detected new index hmd or new index controllers being connected. Not on "many headsets" only index hardware.

>>535845315
>Alyx was given for free if steam detected new index hmd
can't verify this, but apparently it also came with occulus? >>535843537

>>535845240
That's the best games. All the good games in gaming history were made by small teams.

AAA slop is not welcome.

>>535843031
Assuming it wasn't a loss for Valve, could they even repeat it? Alyx was released at the peak of PCVR, it was the most hyped VR game of all time, the 'true AAA quality' people were looking for, garnered the most interest a VR game has ever got from non-VR gamers and came from a franchise many people were desperate for.

>>535845620
>2.13%
where do you get the numbers from?

>>535845620
>tfw multi track drifting all of the minimum % bars

>>535845620
Boneworks have 33k reviews. Also nothing to scoff at.

>>535845746
https://www.uploadvr.com/steamvr-near-record-use-december-2024/
Steam hardware survey. This was back when there was a higher number of Quest 3 on the hardware survey than Index so the overall numbers may have declined since then. I just find it to be an interesting visual to compare with other niches.

>>535836173
having tea with snacks for once was pretty good. I shouldve had two cookies

More recent games...

Metro Awakening has 2000 reviews (1k ratings on Meta store)
Vampire the masquerade justice - 200 (500 on meta)
Arken Age 368 (no reviews on meta)
Skydance's BEHEMOTH - 768 (1.6k on meta)
No more rainbows 100 (12k on meta!!!!)

But apparently Meta store has WAAAY less reviews/ratings than steam per buyer.

>>535846778
I don't see snacks.

>>535847312
I should review these games...

>>535847508
They ate them already

My index has been glitching out randomly recently, the side panel that keeps the back attached also just exploded and cracked while casually talking with it on.
I feel like its time to buy a replacement headset yet don't know whats a good option. Quest will have Zuck tracking my ass and I heard there is atrocious updates recently. Dunno what else is good and the beyond is over half a year off in delivery I heard.
Are there any good, quickly available not cucked stuff or is the quest actually okay?

>>535847312
Standalone games used to have a higher review to buyer ratio than Steam because people would use it to spam their referral codes until Meta killed the system. Now the review feature is buried somewhere in their shitty UI.

>>535848230
you can just get a new strap
but yea its an old hmd

>>535848230
another index

>>535848230
are you cucked out of warranty yet?

>>535846778
I'm scared of square tables.

>>535848230
Quest is okay, QPro is premium okay, used Index that was only lightly cummed on should be dirt cheap if you can find one. Plenty of options for you.

if it's within your reasonable fun spending price range, I'd buy a cheap used quest 2 and wait for anons to receive their BSB2E. it really shouldn't take long at this point given that some people had already received their headsets, and once there are actual genuine opinions from people you can talk to, it might turn out to be an appealing option despite an appalling price point

>>535847312
its like 150/1 compared to pcvr thats like 30-40/1

You can pretend they're boxing rings and make the tiny avatars fight for your amusement!

Anyone use FaceEmo?
is there a way to make changes to an applied FaceEmo Prefab?
I have a template avatar prefab I use that I set up FaceEmo on but I want to make a few changes to one or two set up expressions but I'm not sure how to do that. Whenever I launch it on an avatar it opens up as if I'm setting a new one up from scratch.

>>535851480
You have to find the avatar you set it up for and then in settings you can apply it to more avatars and select your new ones.

>>535852053
Found the prefab I needed. Thanks.

No real drawback if it works, you can always adjust problem spots. The main limitation of RWT is that you need something to transfer weights from. On close fitting meshes you transfer from the body but on something like a loose shoulderless hoodie it might get kind of weird.

Good booth artists should weight paint better than RWT and you can try to preserve it (or use it as-is and delete body mesh underneath). If the weight paint is fucked I will just RWT to start from scratch.

we're so fucked

>>535876710
game is game Brother, you better make sure to pick up your 6090 in the pre-order phase for $2750 USD. And then the AI bubble will burst, and the new prices will still never go down, just stagnate until it meets inflation

>>535876710
whod want 4090 if 5090 is 3 times faster at 4k per eye

>>535878059
because it sets the price floor for high end gpu and inflates everything above and below

For what it's worth there's almost zero chance any of the new cards will be in any reliable stock even vaguely near msrp for six months to a year if they ever are. Nvidia basically always turbojews and under produces the super series since they're actually an ok value proposition. The 24gb of vram is also going to get fed directly to AI fags and not the public I'm sure.

thats a big cum jar

been thinking about getting a used Quest 3, is there something I need to know about what I can and can't use with it?

>>535930634
You can do pretty much anything with it, in PCVR mode it works just like any other headset. Don't worry about compatibility. It might be more and less perfect depending on use case, but it'll let you do everything and play everything, so don't overthink it if it's your first headset.

Of course, it has no face tracking, and using it with FBT is mildly tricky, but those are things you can think about once you're into the hobby.

>>535930634
Can use lens protectors. Can recommend using lens protectors.
Get a new though so your lenses are perfect

All weapons work on infantry, unless they are somehow bugged out. You seem to miss your gbus though.

>>535928151
Any explosion will kill them. Not sure if they even have collision hitboxes that will set off bombs that pass through them so I guess aim at their feet? The cluster munitions worked really well against what I assume were armed terrorists in that one canyon map.

>>535928151
The cannon on all of the aircraft is a really good tool against pretty much all ground targets below the bunkers/etc that require a bomb, so don't be afraid to use it if it's safe.

>OpenVR
can valve just fuck off with their garbage and focus on OpenXR, at least to the level where their implementation stops violating the specs?
everything they make related to steamvr is trash
literally, just fuck off

>>535954669
Why are you schizoing out?
OpenVR has two sides. Driver and application API. All steamvr drivers use openvr driver api. Application side is officially declared legacy and Valve recomends all VR games to use OpenXR api. Which on SteamVR talks to OpenVR drivers.
>Garbage
Openvr is the first proper vr api where anyone can make a driver and an application. Its the reason any imaginable vr headset can be used for PCVR. OpenXR standard is basically OpenVR application api 2.0, its all coming from OpenVR design choices, especially the input polling.
Now apologise and say thank you Gaben.

perform random actions with a smug face, you'll win your first game anyway due to newfag's luck. people will think you know what you're doing, so they'll treat you like a regular next time, and then you're in

>>535955736
Its just a poker, but instead playing with a hand you were dealt with you get to build your perfect hand by drawing a tile and discarding. Sometimes you can steal freshly discarded tile. Rest of the rules are just the types of scoring hands and how much points they are worth. Its a super easy game if you don't focus on all of the edge cases. Just assemble a neat looking hands

no wonder it's the most retarded part of openxr
and valve can't even implement it properly
gaben should eat shit and fuck off

>>535952841
If you use a button to confirm you choice I don't see the problem. The Apple Vision Pro seems successful enough with its gaze-and-pinch navigation, using a controller for the "pinch" should be even more precise

>>535961118
Yep, seems like it. Thanks, good stuff, it's nice and non-invasive.

>>535961845
OpenVR is the PCVR ecosystem discounting linux and monado.
Any other apis are/were closed garden garbage.

You seem to be upset at some small irrelevant things, because all OpenXR apps just work on SteamVR.

Input polling which makes game aythors provide action manifest to allow users to rebind actions to any controlls they have is brilliant and only works on SteamVR and Monado. Any other OpenXR runtime is vasically closed garden which doesnt allow third party devices, controllers or even input rebinding.

Say again "thank you gaben for pushing for the open standards"

>>535961979
/vrg/ so nice

Fuck you gaben you fat fuck

>>535962802
>because all OpenXR apps just work on SteamVR.
yeah, because they have to explicitly work around bugs of garbage steamvr's openxr implementation
>OpenVR is the PCVR ecosystem
openvr should have died 3 years ago
>they have is brilliant
lol, it's the most retarded way the could have created it
rebinding shit is the hell on earth the end user because valve is incompetent retards
and the worst part is that game devs can do nothing to alleviate that, because it's simply impossible for them, "thanks" to aforementioned garbage design
>Any other OpenXR runtime is vasically closed garden which doesnt allow third party devices, controllers or even input rebinding.
what? lol
>thank you gaben for pushing for the open standards
fuck u fuck u, gaben

Steamvr sucks, fuck you, gaben.
I hate you!

>>535963469
Every standard implementation has some bugs. Even in gpu duopoly we have opengl and vulcan bugs connected to a vendor of gpu gamedevs need to work around. We have at least 6 major OpenXR runtime implementations, of course each of them will have slightly different bugs. Thats life, there is nothing to get so defensive about.

SteamVR ebinding UI logic is inverted true, but only idiots cant understand it. Its not complicated at all. Select button, select if you want to click or touch it, select activated action. If you cant handle it, then you're trully a retard.
Devs comming from closed garden apis cant wrap around their heads around prividing action manifest, they just want to poll the "a" button. Cant handle even one level of abstraction. Thats why we get bindings which bind "a button press" to "index_left_a_button" instead of a "jump".

OpenVR will never trully die because older openvr games need to be able to run. And its ok. It would be a tragedy if OpenVR stopped working.

Ok, tell me which openxr runtime except steamvr allows you to remap bindings. For example if I want to remap "jump" from "right a' button to "tilt right stick up"? I can easily map that in StaemVR bindings unless dev is retarded. Oculus? Lmao. Monado openxr implementation seems to have json files you can manually edit, but not even an UI for it. Other OpenXR runtimes just assume you have quest controllers and dont let any rebindings.

Repeat after me:
Thank you gaben for open architecture and user freedoms.

>>535928151
Did you align the target diamond with the inner circle?

>>535948893
I've been talking about how we need alternative locomotion thats more immersive. well this is a first step at least...

>>535955736
we're kind of really small and lack the manpower to teach these days, but there'll probably be a way to teach you somehow. Never actually know how a turnout will be so if you're lucky we can do a super fast crash course at a bot table until you feel you have the game and I can let throw you in the deep end and learn live with other players. Tanki is probably funny enough the easiest way to teach someone given how it has a nice balance of automatic/manual.

But it all comes down to tile efficiency. Discard tiles that don't go with others (IE: 2/3/6), you would discard that 6, things like that. Also starting out you'll want to click the top button to your hard right that says enable calls, so you keep your hand closed and don't open it like a retard.

>>535963469
Tell me what other vr api tackled hardware abstraction and allowing user to bring any controllers into the ecosystem? Nobody did it on the dawn of VR except Valve. Everyone was busy doing their closed garden apis.
After Valve proposed a solution for crossplatform rebinding API litterally NOBODY even had any experience or ideas how to do it. OpenVR is the king who paved the road to freedom.
Say thank you!

>>535965971
Don't start teaching mahjong by teaching advanced techniques lol. Efficiency comes after they understand the game loop and can assemble a valid hand

Bocce Time in 2 hours.

>>535966210
There's nothing advanced about tile efficiency. It's a pretty newbie thing to teach I'd say. It's something you teach as you show them how to make a hand.

>SteamVR ebinding UI logic is inverted true, but only idiots cant understand it. Its not complicated at all. Select button, select if you want to click or touch it, select activated action. If you cant handle it, then you're trully a retard.
Wow, you're such a cuck. Imagine defending that shit unironically.
"Yeah, bro, just scroll through endless garbage and select shit with laser pointer! And don't forget what "forced grip" means btw!"
instead of at least letting the game dev implement a simple in-game "now press the button you want to use for grip" interface
>tell me which openxr runtime except steamvr allows you to remap bindings.
Irrelevant, the design itself is retarded. "Just leave everything to the runtime" means the end-user experience is cancer.
The whole design only makes the problem it was supposed to solve worse. You literally can't fail any harder than that.
And then people blame the game devs, who are actually blameless and can't do anything other than personally testing with each device, which defeats the whole purpose.

>Repeat after me:
>Thank you gaben for open architecture and user freedoms.
fak u fak u eat shit, gaben

>>535966023
Implement properly, extend and fix OpenXR instead of working useless garbage.
The whole input related side needs a complete rework. The current design is objectively a failure.

>>535966480
>instead of at least letting the game dev implement a simple in-game "now press the button you want to use for grip" interface

You can totally do that, but thats retarded . You can just tell binding api to treat all controllers as quest controllers, and then map it in game. But what for. We have perfectly functioning rebinding system if only you provide proper manifest.

>>535966480
>can't do anything other than personally testing with each device, which defeats the whole purpose.


You dont need to do that at all. Again, just devs need to not do retarded things like trying to poll the "a button"

>>535966695
>You can just tell binding api to treat all controllers as quest controllers
You can't. At best you can make a suggestion, everything is up to runtime.
There is no reflection, you have to already know the exact input strings you want to bind to.

>>535966871
You need to do that.

>>535966480
The only thing which needs rework is the ui. It needs to show a list of actions bindable, not the controllers where you then only after selecting a button can see the list of actions. Oh and some actions are different type, so you need to check the axis seperately.

If the ui showed the list of actions in the manifest and then allowed you to select which button activates that action, it would be easier.

Valve are capable of polishing, sadly they often fail with their steam uis.

EU PyPy today at 17:00 UTC, that's in about 1h, I'll drop a link to the world few minutes before starting, vids are in the link, see you dancing!

https://rentry.co/vrgpypy/edit

>>535967093
Yes you need to make a sane suggestion and allow user remaping. But man how else you are supposed to remap it? For perfect - perfect result youd need to test with all input types anyway. SteamVR is still the only api which tackles this problem sanely or at all. No other api allows user to bring some old niche obscure hmd into a modern game and make it work.

>>535967168
It would be easiest if they gave the devs an ability to do that in-game.
The game knows the best what it wants to do.

Expecting Valve's UI to get better is a pipedream, it getting worse with time if anything.

>>535967470
>But man how else you are supposed to remap it?
It's trivial to implement if you just let me see all the current input paths, their types and their state at runtime.
Then you can manufacture a manifest in-game and export it.
OpenXR needs a reflection api for input. The current design is simply dogshit without it.
>SteamVR is still the only api which tackles this problem sanely or at all.
No, it's completely insane and unusable. And it has no reason to be that way. The current design is just trash.

>>535968219
I think you got filtered

>>535970072
Yeah, let's filter people with input too, it's not like everything else on pcvr filters enough already.
Anyway, me being able to cope with garbage design doesn't make the design any less garage.

OpenXR input design is objectively a complete failure. So fuck gaben and fuck openvr.

Anyone know how you'd recreate this effect in Unity that Asura's Wrath used to 'pencil stroke' in shadows on his face and clothing? It's based on the current light source, so it's not painted on there at all times flat such as a Borderlands characters would.

Almost looks like two textures in play, one with the sharper black lines, and the other for separating the highlights from mistones using stroke patterns.

I can't play much PCVR rn but I remember the two big pain points when I tried being AC and VRChat. Didn't even try Alyx. I got through Lone Echo on medium and that felt 'fine'. Though I suspect my weak-ass gpu was also just as much to blame for the above.

It probably doesn't.

>>535983427
Friends don't let friends get AMD GPUs for VR. Only do it to people you don't like. You can literally search google for AMD VR problems and see they still happen.
Not to mention that it underperforms in VR from what it should.

>>535983816
and all of those quirks have been worked out.
IN FACT, the newest amd gpu's are EXCELLENT choices for quest headsets and pico as they have great encoding.

wasnt there literally just a whole big thing like 3 weeks ago where people were warning people about AMD GPUs with VR because they got fucked up again?

>>535983997
AMD users couldn't see it because their headsets weren't working at the time

>>535981773
I thought it was only the 7000 series that had major issues with VR depending on the driver installed?

what sort of mental illness causes cpu/gpu/headset brand shilling. is it some form of poorfag cope? team cheering in group feedback? something else?

7900XT(X) had stutters on wired VR headsets in Windows at launch. This was fixed with driver 23.7.1 in July 2023. There has been no stutter issue since. Make sure to make 30 posts every thread that this is COPE and it actually isn't fixed because everyone is lying.

Yes, if you use Windows and can buy a 5090 just do that, but AMD gpus work fine for VR. Depending on your country and budget AMD cards are a reasonable option.

Haritorax 2.0 trackers will be here tomorrow
Ive used 1.0s for 2 years and calibrated them well enough that people dont know i use imus.
My 1.0s broke physically so im wondering if anybody has used both before and noticed a difference.
>inb4 get real trackers
Slowly have been, these should just tide me over as I finish paying off my debts first. I was not gonna play as a 3 pointer anytime soon, only ever really used 9 point and using less feels terrible

Please write up a somewhat detailed summary of things. The vive 3.0 are fine, but I am somewhat eyeing that one.

>>535995147
If I have to i will after I purchase the feet and elbows.
For 1.0s it very much requires a clean open square room with little amounts of metal/non smooth materials.
I have a couch and TV with stand and metal desk, but sitll manage good quality tracking as long as I recalibrate and reset them (Lil funi figure 8) everytime I get on.

And my god update them, shiftall has gotten LEAGUES better over the last 2 years due to their use of ai recentering and posture determination

Are the video players on VRC not working for anyone else? I've tried updating yt-dlp and restarting VChat multiple times but kept getting playback errors and other people around me getting the same error.

>>535996024
unironically the best way is to self host

>>535996024
I bet it's because all the questies kept putting on kiddy shit causing youtube's new AI to flag traffic from VRChat's version of yt-dlp as being from an underage user.

it's a difficult situation (for vrchat) since any language construed as officially supporting YT would probably get jumped on by jewgle laywers to force them to pay a bunch of money to integrate and show ads. Would be kind of amusing if it happens though, two corpos destroying each other.

Which ones were taken with the stock camera and which ones with something like vrclense?
Would be really cool if the photo guys could include technical details (zoom, apature, presets, etc) with the posts.
Also, is there a quality difference betweeen photos taken (with stock camera) when having vrc+?

>>535987556
>>536002663
I'm using VRCLens for stuff like >>536001953, >>536001403, >>536001116, >>536002248. If you see DoF blur effect that doesn't look scuffed, it's usually VRCLens.
>technical details
Way too much work to write it down, but In general, I have presets that i've made for switchable UI toggles default vrcl radials for aperture and focal length are cancer, so I'm primarily using 27mm or 40mm, usually either f2 or f5.6

I have gone out of my way to never post my vrc pics here because even though they were perfectly normal pics, people always screeched that "all non event vrc pics go to trash"
I have held onto this nonsense for too long.
We getting kino pics with the bros now to be taken.

>>536002663
The default VRC camera can do a lot these days, it has depth of field and zoom but is missing exposure (brightness) which can be annoying in very dark worlds. Main problem with the default VRC camera is that the UI is really annoying to use and if you are trying to change 3-4 settings for the next photo it will take forever.

I use VirtualLens over VRCLens because it takes 8 synced bits instead of 40, and installs with Modular Avatar instead of modifying your FX layer; but VRCLens has more features.

If you use a camera prefab try out face detection autofocus. It saves a lot of time if you want blurred backgrounds without having to constantly move your focus point onto someones face using the tiny screen.

Eh, there's a balance to keep in all of that. 24/7 selfie spam isn't good, bullying people for VRC content is retarded as well. I think the general rule of thumb is that it's okay when you're at least pretending to keep your ego out of the frame, when you can say in good conscience that you didn't post the VRC photo for the sole purpose of having your avatar in the thread.

Nice, I've had the same idea. I feel like there are a lot of things you could do better than TTS's VR mode in terms of card manipulation, even if you're limited to udon's shitty API. Which when investigating, I found that https://creators.vrchat.com/worlds/udon/string-loading/ string loading API supports up to 100MB per load. So while it'd take some effort to encode/decode images, you can pack a whole deck of full-resolution images in there (vs trying to atlas them into the 2048x2048 images that imageloader supports). https://github.com/vr-voyage/vrchat-glb-loader has some example code for loading textures through string loader too, so it's definitely possible.

>>536023546

>>535994546
2.0 Hari is definitely more stable and resets are hourly thing at worst. I can't turn on mags because of all the metal in my playspace but with mags on you can probably go several hours without reset. Biggest improvement is definitely the battery tho, charging once a week now and I could probably go on longer. Overall won't blow your mind but definitely better than 1.0.
On the downside, they are much more prone to disconnecting from the dongle if you walk away from your playspace and don't always automatically reconnect. And the wire connecting the leg trackers is annoying and doesn't inspire much confidence in durability of the whole thing.
This is all with SlimeTora, Shitfall manager improved a lot but it doesn't handle yaw correction without mags even remotely as good.
TL;DR - QoL improvement sidegrade

there's an enormous amount of different ways to do this with liltoon
being able to do illustration shading with all sorts of different layers revealed by different features is what the entire shader is built around despite no one actually using it
i'll do some examples at some point

the thing is though it's geared towards you hand painting/shading those layers and not a procedural effect like i assume silents hatching is >>535976618

webm is a bad example made from random noise textures i had in my project

Off topic, but is that default Shinra proportions?

Is it possible to unlock the bootloader on any standalone headset? I kind of want to get a Quest 3 or something similar, but I need to own my device. I'm malding over being rugpulled by Samsung.

>>536047416
btw the illustration shader features of liltoon is why you can't have things like that texture packing in poiyomi where you pack the ao map, and the roughness map and the smoothness map and a matcap mask all into one texture that they share
feature maps and masks in poiyomi use only one channel
liltoons ao uses all 4 channels, the blur map uses all 4 channels, all of the masks use all 4 channels and are sRGB masks
it needs them to be an illustration shader

>>536048594
yup complete default

>>536048674
>*the roughness map and the metallic map

test

>>536048649
Unfortunately no.

well those were the only examples i have on me at the moment for the liltoon features relevant to that anons question so i guess i'll come back some other time with a hatching example that won't corrupt the youth

People who run AMD cards without issue, what card and what headset?
>>536048649
Did samsung actually say something about moohan while I wasn't looking?

>>536025956
I do not need to do this, each card is a list with a range of values, name, artist, set etc, wich also include the scryfall Oracle ID, so finding a card is easy.
I'm thinking of editing the JSON in a script outside of the game, remove junk data keys like non english text, if it has attractionlights etc to get the size of the json down. Right now it's 44Mb in it's raw state. Due to this affecting map size, I have set a rule of the JSON file being max 50Mb as of now (6+ sets a year will balloon this fast in the future kek) but getting rid of junk data will lower the filesize and then more cards can be added. I can also interact with scryfall outside of VRC and get the art URL's from the API. The art url's are not rate limited like the API, and put the art url in the card JSON data.
Then the card just initialize itself and download it's art texture when you draw it.
Should be easy to do with a Python script, but I have never coded Python nor interacted with API's much. So either I gotta learn this or look for help outside / ask chatGPT.

>>536055439
The problem with loading art per card is vrchat rate limits you to 0.2 requests/second, so it'd take like 3 minutes to load even a single deck, and it'd happen every time to load into the map (no way to cache). You'll have to pack them into atlases.

python is likely the best slop language for the api and json munging though, can recommend. You can also do the atlas generation with pillow.

>>536056306
>The problem with loading art per card is vrchat rate limits you to 0.2 requests/second, so it'd take like 3 minutes to load even a single deck,
Won't it be fine to just load art as an atlas?
So the whole deck is just a full 4096x4096 image

>>536056415
Derp I just read the rest of your post after pressing send

>>536056415
yes, but the vrchat imageloader only supports 2048x2048 max (for whatever reason). You can however load a 4k or even 8k texture in as a base64 encoded DC7 texture with the string loader. Which is also nasty, but such is vrchat.

Got most of VRWiki's shit back up from archive.org. Some stuff is still missing but it's fairly ancillary or needed to be rewritten anyway. Gonna start re-uploading art assets now.

>>536023976
Pugs are fun.

>>536056306
Well, if you only do a request to download an image when you draw a card, or load the top 3 cards after shuffling, this is not that big of an issue. Everything already exist local in the map, except for the art. And mh cards uses the art_crop from scryfall.
https://cards.scryfall.io/art_crop/front/6/d/6da045f8-6278-4c84-9d39-025adf0789c1.jpg?1562404626
>>536056415
Cards would be unreadable this way, or you need to put in 10200 cards, thats alot of 4K atlas. Except if you just do pre made decks, but then you can't create your own deck wich kinda kills the whole TCG thing.
>>536056610
The art crop is way below the VRChat image loader limits.

I can show you what the basic card etc looks like once I upload the map. Majority of work is JSON munging and UDON.

>>536057191
>Cards would be unreadable this way, or you need to put in 10200 cards, thats alot of 4K atlas. Except if you just do pre made decks, but then you can't create your own deck wich kinda kills the whole TCG thing
Using a website to compile an atlas on the file as per request would allow that.

our 4chan threadreader made by FF utilizes an on the fly Atlas generation for all images posted on a 4chan depending on the board requested.

>>536057191
>>536056306
While a deck can have 60 cards, the number of unique cards sans lands are like 20-25. So it takes 2-3 minutes to download a deck as you say.
But
1. You can probably wait 2-3 minutes worst case
2. You can load it in the order of your deck after shuffling
3. You don't need the art to play the game, because it's just the art on the card.
>>536057585
Yes, but now the scope of this map is a server wich do scryfall requests, compiles an atlas and load it into the map, when the only data you need from scryfall is the art on the card.

>>536057191
The rate limit is global across the map though, so I really doubt you'll want to wait 70 seconds for both players to see their starting hands.

Also you'd have to pull out all the art urls and hard code them in the udon script since you can't specify urls dynamically.

It's not impossible but you'll very likely going to have to atlas.

>>536058149
With a good enough intro VS animation 60 seconds can fly by quick.

>>536058149
Global across the map really puts a damper on things togheter with not being able to specify utl's dynamically. Will have to look into this. URL's can't even be loaded from a Datatoken in memory?
Then I will have to go back to the drawing board regarding the art on the card...
Also, again, it's just the art, literally just the art, the image drawn by an artist and put on the card. Worst case I can just day fuck the art and game will play just fine, but without the art.
Nothing else except the art will have to be downloaded.

>>536058149
>>536059546
I think even literally hard code the url's is the next best way if I can't load an url from the datatoken and have it download. Gonna make Yandere dev look like john carmack.

You cant make urls in udon. It needs to be a list of VRCUrl objects ehich you fill in editor.

Vrchat has url input field object type, which is allowed to make urls, but only from user input. You cannot make the urls from udon code. You could make an udon script with an array of VRCUrl and then either manually in editor or using c# editor script fill them up.

Pyrowave is too slow on mobile chips.... H264/5 av1 is too unpredictable and takes ages to encode/decode, cant push too much bandwith on mobile chips again...
Nobody cares about pcvr enough to dedicate even one or two engineers to make a low latency high bandwith codec...

5-10 depending on resolution and bitrate.

>>536090282
in the dev's testing when implementing it on Wivrn it basically didn't beat the software encoders enough to justify adding it and increasing maintenance overhead
if the decoder was stronger on the HMDs then maybe it would have a purpose

>>536090507
Gay. h264 does sub 10ms for high bitrate high resolution streams.

>>536087510
Apparently the bottle neck is mobile vulkan not supporting batch pixel writes from compute shaders and writing them one by one takes so long the h264/5 decoder takes similar time...
If anyone knows about it they can try optimising wyvrn branch...

>>536090721

Some more results for PyroWave, especially about decode times:
```

-------------+------------------+-------------------
100% P1 | 4.2 | 4.2
140% P0 | 6.8 | 7.0
140% P1 | 6.8 | 7.1
140% P1 (PC) | 0.2 | 0.2

100%: 2112x1088 video (400Mb/s)
140%: 2944x1536 video (400Mb/s), 2944x1664 on PC
P0: PYROWAVE_PRECISION 0 (float16 shaders)
P1: PYROWAVE_PRECISION 1 (float shaders)
```
Those are times measured on the GPU, so they are pretty accurate.
We also have to do conversion from YCbCr to RGB and defoveation, so it's not possible to reach 120FPS (8.3ms per frame) at 140% resolution.


In the graphics pipeline, Adreno writes the framebuffer into what they call GMEM, this is a fast memory within the GPU. Once it finishes processing the tile, it copies the GMEM into system memory

When doing a compute shader, each imageStore does a write to system memory, so you have plenty of small writes in that case, versus one or a few writes in the GMEM case


One thing I tried recently was to replace the graphics pipeline used to conver the sliced YCbCr stream into a single RGBA image into a compute shader. While on PC it performs the same, on Adreno this was at least 3 times slower.

From the devs....

Come on pseudo terry schizo. If you are such a good programmer as you say you are go optimize pyrowave decode
https://github.com/WiVRn/WiVRn/tree/proto/pyrowave

For clarification, Q3 can only up to 200 Mb/s on the AV1 codec. It can go much higher wirelessly on other codecs like 264

>>536092023
It can go to 1000Mbit on pyrowave (it also needs it due to less compression)

You're saying, the shinani, is... The ultimate bottom?

Loco doko?

>>536092564
whats a shinani?

How good is bsb1 compared to the index, is an "upgrade" of sorts?

>>536101713
its a pretty huge leap over index for me
painful to go back to index when i test it for mtp latency
>resolution bump
>uOLED >>> LCD
>much smaller and lighter, much nicer to wear
in my eyes its like what Tundras were to the Vive Pucks
a smaller, better Index, though you do lose the BMRs
I may be biased or something but as a music enjoyer and rave-goer in VRC I find that the ksc75s or koss drivers on the audio strap with ksc75 ear clips attached feel just as "off-ear" as the Index for me but lack the same amount of "feelable" bass if that makes sense

i'll be sure to let everyone know what I think of the 2e when i get it tomorrow; whether it be good or bad and how it compares to my bsb1 experience which is already very good (which makes me an outlier apparently)

It's locover

>>536102307
Which day did you order yours on? Can't wait for my March 28 BSB2e.

>>536102776
day 0: mar 20

Did anyone else get BSB2e """upgrade""" edition ($50 off for beta testing) and also get shipping info? I'm still waiting on mine, despite ordering mar 20.

>>536103292
i originally ordered the beta tester special
i added accessories though so its a big boxer not a shitbrick
I saw one person claim they had their ship a week or so ago but I've never seen anyone post the shitbrick box

>>536102885
>check old mail
>Jun 27: BSB2 started shipping!
>ask anon
>my day zero order is about to arrive soon
you know what, i don't care anymore. maybe it'll come to me one day, maybe it won't. no need to think about it, empty head is happy head

>>536105141
they claim they had a shitload of orders
who knows!

who knows~

All shinanos should give me headpats.

>>536111843
I miss my twinano.. it has been months since I have seen their face... one day I will grab them in game and shake them violently

>>536112328
aww. don't worry, i'm still lurking around through threads, and it's always nice to see you in here

Stay in workgroup memory based on tiles and write everything at the same time?
Why the driver is not batching the writes?
Android is fucking trash. I'm 100% sure apple chips would be able to do it properly.

>>536091480
I'm busy with other stuff. Streaming solutions are pretty much worthless if we have no games to play.
It's on todo list.

>>536112723
it is great to know my twin is an actual vr game enjoyer as well..
I will hold the comfort of your lurking presence in my heart anon..

I keep rereading this, but it still doesn't make sense. It should be exactly the same, tiling gpu work on the small framebuffer tiles one of the time, compute does exactly the same.
Hmm, it's going to get a little bit confusing because there types of tiles, so let's refer to the encoded tile as encoded fragment.
So compute takes encoded fragment, does everything is fast workgroup memory and outputs the final rgb decoded fragment, you don't need don't need to leave workgroup memory at all, only for the final write, it should be exactly the same as what graphic pipeline does.

>>536115737
I don't care about brands, I only care about performance and the quality of drivers.
I would even buy chinkshit if it's objectively the best.

>>536094561
let me do that for you

>>536116059
and yet you use quest 2 instead of pico 4

>>536117593
p4 didn't exist when i bought q2
I'm not changing the headset until it has proper face and eye tracking and wifi 7.

>>536047416
>>536048674
This is why 4chan needs to ID it's users. What if a pubescent boy had seen this?

locobros... not like this

>>536118112
gonna spoil this to you right now
wifi 7 isnt the fix all wifisloppa silver bullet

What's the proper way to set up a Quest 2? Just got one for $50.

>>536121420
>not like this
not like what

>>536121904
People who use the term "sloppa" usually are not very smart and don't know what they are talking about most of the time.
I know for a fact that you can do flawless wireless streaming with proper wifi7, fast eye tracking and enough compute.

>>536122836
So what you're saying is that because you also need compute and eye tracking that wifi7 isn't the silver bullet?

>>536122836
>with proper wifi7
here we go again with the "proper wifi7 hasn't been tried yet"
all the pieces to that supposed puzzle already exist in real life at this very moment
yet its not fixed
hmm...

>>536122557
update it and then use it

Check the sign, locobros

Can you faggot autistic niggers stop arguing about the same wifi latency crap over and over?

no

For me it's Wolferia headswap on Selestia.

I'd post my wolferia headswap onto selestia but i cant because of the way my avatar looks

>>536134042
let me guess, is it wolferia headswap onto selestia?

>>536134042
same, sadge

I wish I could get a girlfriend but I can't because of the way my avatar looks...

>>536135783
i can think of 3 users who fit the bill for this kind of avatar
