Avatar Marketplace

Add a gifting feature that allows users to buy avatars for other users. Though this idea was already discussed in the FAQ thread in the forum ( https://ask.vrchat.com/t/avatar-marketplace-faq-for-sellers/43555 ) Q: What about gifting avatars? (Asked by @Hammey) A: Not yet, but it’s a popular feature request and we’d like to do it. , I will post this as a reminder and voting place.

Also add a mix of popular tags + some randomisation on the top of the main avatar marketplace page. Pi (from the VRChat team) said in the open beta channel on VRChat discord this is being worked on, so this is mainly so other people do not make this canny again and so we see how many people on Canny think this is a good idea lol

This is a feature that might be implemented in the distant future, but it could still be useful for users without Unity or an understanding of Unity, and it could benefit artists, commissioners, and even VRChat staff. Here's how the option would be used. Prerequisites: VRChat account, VRC+, a texture PNG file, and a purchased avatar Step 1: Login to vrchat.com with your account to access the homepage. Step 2: Click on the Inventory tab. Step 3: Go to the Textures tab, which will be next to the Items tab. Do NOT use the Emoji or Sticker tab, as those can be shared. Step 4: Follow steps to upload the texture file. Make sure it is a PNG that is 1024 x1024 pixels or less. Step 5: Enter VRChat and go to the Explore option Avatars menu. Step 6: Look for your purchased avatar and select Details. Step 7: Scroll down the Details menu until you see Materials. Step 8: Select the desired texture slot (Often BaseColor), and click on the uploaded texture. Step 9: Wait a few minutes for the avatar to update on Windows, Android, and iOS sides. Step 10: Once avatar is updated, click Change into Avatar, and enjoy your newly textured avatar! Disclaimer: Avatars should also have the option to opt out of custom texturing if they desire.

As title. It could have an option to search "generally" and also search specific tags.

please ensure all avatars that support android also support ios, as the requirements appear to be identical to android

Allow us to add listings to a wishlist for avatars we would be interested in buying at a later date.

When viewing the gallery of a listing or details of an avatar that has a gallery, you should be able to click on any of the images in that photo gallery to bring up a larger view for easier viewing like with group gallery images.

I noticed that the behavior of favorite avatars outside of the first favorites category were changed, and it feels a bit harder on those that used to have VRC+ as you're no longer able to move avatars that you previously categorized if you no longer have VRC+. This change could be seen as a somewhat predatory one, especially to those that are used to the original behavior and can't or don't want to pay for VRC+ again, considering that you're completely removing a feature that was free and making it a paid one. I ask that you please restore the original functionality of this feature.

At the moment, the Avatar Marketplace is being forced down everybody's throats whether they like it or not. While this was somewhat alleviated by allowing people to keep "My Avatars" the default option on their Avatars tab in the Main Menu (as opposed to its prior setting which defaulted to the Explore tab), it is still being pushed way too much, especially for those who have no interest in it. A very prominent example for me is the "Explore Avatars" button in the avatar list. I do not want to use the Avatar Marketplace, give me a way to turn that button off. It is unnecessary UI clutter for a feature I never want to use. I purchase my avatars' source files because it means I can actually use the files in Unity and Substance Painter, unlike the Avatar Marketplace which is just a "get rich quick" scheme for your company with minimal effort.
