Avatar Bugs & Feature Requests

Currently, you can have an avatar rated as “Good” at 70,000 polygons, but adding even a single triangle beyond that will instantly drop the rating to “Very Poor.” Obviously, this doesn’t make much sense and can actually discourage some people from optimizing their avatars. (Why bother optimizing other stats if the polycount alone tanks the rating the moment you go over?) I’d like to suggest increasing the polygon thresholds for Medium and Poor ratings, with a gradual step-up between each level. This would make a lot more sense and give creators more flexibility! I’d really love to see this system improved. The VRC team should ultimately decide on the final values through proper testing, but personally, I think a Poor rating could go up to around 120k, and Medium could sit around 90k. Of course, those numbers are just based on my experience, and I’m sure the team can come up with even better thresholds through data and testing.

I tryed to send "/avatar/change" osc message but it does not work. I also sended "/avatar/parameters/..." together and it works. osc.send({address: "/avatar/parameters/BustSize", args: [0.5]}); // works osc.send({address: "/avatar/change", args: ["avtr_0eb0aeff-5a47-4c01-86e7-943cfcc1e8b5"]}); // not working

Of all the Default Av3 Parameters, I am in need of one that doesn't exist, Eye Rotation. This would be especially useful for animating 2D texture Eyes. I would like a Float for Vertical ranging from -1 to +1 and Horizontal -1 to +1. Perhaps name it "EyeRotationX" and "EyeRotationY"? Also a Bool for Randomized Blinking would be a nice-to-have, but not as important as that can be animated

Switch to an avatar with an animation that is triggered when the _Stretch of the Physbone exceeds a certain threshold. The moment the avatar is loaded, the _Stretch behaves as if it were stretched to the maximum, and the animation is triggered. _Stretch reacted when the avatar teleported or returned from a specific pose, etc., and the avatar's posture suddenly changed and the physbone moved. In some cases, _Stretch reacted abnormally when the player was moving too fast or under the influence of Station. The specific behavior is as follows Before the update: If Immobile is 1, it did not extend regardless of the value of stretch motion After the update: Stretch motion value is used regardless of Immobile value.

Version 3.8.1 of the VRChat SDK will include the following feature: Per-platform overrides allow you to configure different versions of your cross-platform avatar for multiple platforms. When you build & publish your avatar to more than one platform, the SDK automatically uploads different versions of your avatar to each selected platform under the same avatar ID. Per-platform overrides make it easy to upload an optimized version of your avatar for Android and a fully featured version of your avatar for PC. https://vrc-beta-docs.netlify.app/releases/release-3-8-1/

I think it would be very beneficial to have a native VRC parameter "IsAgeVerified" such that I and other creators can lock certain functionality behind the age filter.

The expression menu lacks various controls types and features used by VRChat's native Action Menu, limiting our approach to creating more complex toggles that depend on one another or simply to provide clearer intent/description to users. Some of the features missing include the following: * Making a control unclickable (to indicate it depends on another function, typically another toggle, such as the various personal mirror settings only being accessible once the mirror is shown, but also some of the action menu settings depending on whether you're in VR or not). * Control tooltips (as used by the Custom Emojis and stickers controls when you're not subscribed to VRC+) Alternate toggle looks: * On/off capsule instead of the spinning circle overlay (support for icons would be a bonus, with a smaller capsule and the option to choose whether it appears above or below the icon) * Alternate icons (similar to the microphone and gestures toggles)

I've found that contact receivers that are looking for a "Hand" contact have odd behavior. If you enter the contact with any part of your hand, it works as expected, but if a single finger gets removed from the contact, the contact will act as though the entire hand was removed from the contact, even if the rest of the hand is still present in the contact. This was tested with a constant contact that drives a bool parameter. This bug may lead to unusual effects with avatars that need a hand's constant presence, but the receiver isn't fixed onto the hand.

Something I feel that a lot of quest users have been missing out on has been stuff in the shader department. Although there have been improvements to the standard lite shader, at times that isn't enough, as well as how most of the shaders for quest users are similar to unity's default shaders. I feel it would be a decent consideration to have a simple yet stylized shader from VRChat could solve this issue a bit, and possibly help with mixing some properties like toon shading with PBR elements or using more than 1 uv channel for tiling+masking purposes.

When creating menus with similar or identical layouts but different functions, it can sometimes be confusing what menu you entered (especially if the action menu was dismissed for sometime and you forgot where were, or if your controller suffers from stick drift). A solution to this would be to display additional text indicating what the current menu may be used for, a "header", centered within the menu, this is currently possible to do with some formatting tricks on odd-numbered expression menus, but requires trial and error to line up correctly with different text (and also gets misaligned once the button is hovered over, see last attached image), a properly built-in implementation would be ideal.
