🧵Wanna optimize things with little effort?
Wanna have a tool that makes you medium FOR YOU?
Well, use D4rk Avatar Optimizer
People ask me how I get my model down to medium with so much stuff on it; a great portion of the work is ONE tool.

Avatar scaling is back. And now you dont need to be dependent on a mod lmao.
Yes it works in Full Body just fine!
Stop saying it isn't possible when it can be done it ik space.

NEOS IS DEAD
Told you so, I said the crpyto shit would kill the platform. Along with the community's consistent toxicity driving away great creators and friends... The writing was the on the wall for years.
All I can say I told ya so. Here's to froox's next adventure.
Apparently, more people need to know this exists, there is documentation for most things. Just its (I agree) not the easiest to find. Don't blame others for not finding it though...
Headchop is a direct replacement for using constraints to make something visible for you in the first person.
VRCFury calls it "Show in First Person"
This is technically a direct replacement for using constraints.
Constraints are bad, btw. Here is a graph showing why

After like 500 or so hours or like 4ish month, ive finally hit 1tb in my cache.
For context i turned off cache limit and removed when it expires. Just as a test, but it also turned out to be a huge data saver. Many models and worlds are only downloaded once.

The new years party was amazing thanks for all 63 people that attended the instance!
So amazing everyone was able to come and enjoy the new year together.
I took 16k res photos, here are the uncompressed versions

I'm trying to figure out the math of chance on this, but PMDDX has a lot of missing data.
It's just so insanely bad luck, but it's cool.
First turn in cave + odds of magnitude 10 even landing.
Man, its been a month and i still see my "friends" using the fucking thiyeenid base.
Starting to think some of yall don't actually care about YOUR OWN FRIENDS that created these assets...
Good to know some people dont care because its "hot" or "sexy."
Fucking embarrassing...
Over 50 stolen assets from various artists on all one model. The avatar size is atrocious and unoptimized. If you're using the "Thiyeenid', please reconsider supporting
@AlberArts
's official Yeen model instead.
Bestboi team discovered this site a long time ago and determined it to be just an api logger. You want to tell me they can afford 62tb of on hand storage for people to download whoevers model. This site is a claimed to be paid service. Model stealing is free to do.
Ripper store publicly stating how many avatars they've ripped from vrchat, and are now allowing downloads of public avatars.
These fucks have stolen content and copyrighted material from me, you, and anyone else that's ever been in vrchat.
Sue the fuck out of everyone.
HEY YOU, YES YOU,
I want to see your very poor model still! But I'm in this 80 person instance where I need to hide you!
YOU CAN FIX THIS!!!
GENERATE YOUR IMPOSTERS <3
Reminder, no platform, no game, no product will ever prevent ripping on anything rendered by the gpu.
If you can see it, that frame can be reconstructed from vram. Then be exported into a program.
This copium of CVR doing anything is beyond baseless.
Unity is back!
Unity Personal plan will NOT have the runtime fee.
Unity Runtime Fee will NOT be retroactive anymore and only apply to Unity 2024 and beyond.
Games that are subject to the runtime fee have a CHOICE to either pick a 2.5% revenue share (depending on size.)
You can stylize your avi3 menu. I don't think I've seen any one do this yet?
Or not pubicly yet!
It's pretty simple funny enough.

I make a whole thread over avatar optimization, just for worlds to use VRSLGI and drop me to 40 fps with nobody in the world.
Crazy how clubs rely on such tools that murder perf anyways.
I sat in closet and shelter with nearly all (non very poor) Avis loaded and had better fps.
The tools do the avatar optimization for you. Just run it
It's the avatars that make vrchat run bad. Kindly shame your friends into running it :)
Good is good
I've wanted to post a meme about vrchat “choosing for you” regarding optimization, but I forgot too many days in a row.
Maybe now I can finally make the video showing WHY I think this is useful and cool. It's like the first question anyone asks why I have been spending days working on this.
The cube is the floor collider for physbones; I've been making a system to keep it on the actual floor.

To the articles that took 12 hours to get modified after I retweeted it, consider finding a new job. You used AI and called yourself a journalist.
You know who you are and are the two replies on the post.
Don't just do this for that small perf gain; do it for ALL your avatars. Every little bit matters and even those who cannot be saved from the Very Poor should be using tools such as this
EVERY LITTLE BIT HELPS

can’t wait for the next one.
It can't do everything, tho!
VRAM isn't something it can do automatically due to visual differences. But it has tools and thry's to help you along the way.
You should care about VRAM as it's likely the most significant factor that kills your performance.

Ooh the Furality LUMA Immersion Spray came in!
Can't wait to have immersion while the con is going on.
It smells amazing like a nice flower in the woods. It for sure smells like the theme of the con.

Above are the VRAM metrics for each texture of my avatar.
As the textbox states, you should position your camera about 1m from the model and change the compression settings and texture resolution.

How to fix youtube ads.
Just update your uBlock Origin filters. They are on top of things over there. If you dont use something with uBlock your are SOL.
About uBO/Youtube: please do not follow advice from random sources, most likely they don't know what they are doing and this ends up burdening volunteers who have looked into all this and know exactly what they are doing.
Carefully follow instructions at
There are tools to optimize for you; if you don't want to or can't learn to do it manually, THATS FINE.

Made a new twitter banner of all my past/current models I use a lot.
(there are more than this but also so much room in one photo)
Neat trick here is just using a world space camera in vrchat while taking a pic for each model with alpha transparent mode.
In the above, I show the difference in my body texture from 2k to 1k. Visually, there isn't much of a difference.
Doing this saves a whole 5 MB! Not much in this case, but it adds up quickly the more texture you start lowering.

Bro sleeping in
@VirtualFurence
challenge
Go to a public instance and attempt to sleep for 6 hours minimum. Since it's a public world with furries you have to not be crashed by a crasher the whole night WITHOUT safety settings.
Good Luck!
#SleepAtVirtualFurence
Do you wonder why the clubs of vrchat are trying to get the ability to enforce perf limits on avatars?
Or why does Furality have such low instance caps?
It's because your average, very poor model is the baseline everyone needs to care about or maybe to stop caring about.
🧵(17/?)
Let's return it to D4rk's tool, which has a texture compression analyzer.
Below, we can see algorithmic comparisons of the compression settings and resolution. Showcasing how much you are saving on VRAM vs its visual similarity. SSIM is a graphical comparison algo.

@VRChat
Since you are happy implementing the popular mod features, can we have avatar scaling back? It was in the beta, but got removed. I have not seen it used maliciously as it would effect you greatly since your view point scales too
The death rattle of GMOD has never felt more true now than ever. Watching it get torn apart from seemingly random and late DMCA stuff is sad.
The game was already losing popularity and not as enjoyable, but watching what's happening now is genuinely watching the end.
Between OVRAS, FPSVR, and XSOverlay, all three have been my absolute most used apps and overlays.
I think OVRAS has been installed for over 80% of my 6k(?) hours in (actual) VR. (before Steam ver.)
Give them some love; we ALL use playspace mover
Buy one of their donation ”DLCs”
OVR, the software that lets people spacedrag / move up and down ingame and well much more, is free now, but its becoming a paid product soon.
So, get it now if you haven't already.
While it may be hard to spot wrong compression settings changes visually, you can rely on Algo to speed things up. Higher is always better, and sorting by mip1 is likely the same as seeing your model from the typical distance most see you.
