Avatar Cloning

I usually keep my avatar cloning off. But now, even when it’s off, people still copy my avatar. And I have really rare ones!!!! Please fix this!

People running clients can force clone the models. Now a days they do not even need to be in the same room/instance as you. They just need to search your name or the avatars name to view all your public and private models.
If a model is uploaded to your account consider it public no matter what you select as someone will steal it sadly.

The avatar is public. So you can't do nothing about it.

set your avatar to private {via Vrchat.com login, go to avatars and set to private} they cant force clone your avatar if its set to private. regardless they cant get rid of the cloning all together that would be bad for many players of vrchat who would want to share their avatars with others.

If the avatar itself is set as public, there's nothing you can do.

Only custom client can force copy, so you know to do. Get sufficient proof and report the person.

i have seen my friends with the setting off yet the button was enabled. only turning off when they set and unset the option.

Uzy Uzume: Not necessarily a modified client, API tools like VRCX can also figure out the avatar ID a specific user is currently wearing, and allows the user to favorite that specific avatar as well so you can switch to it in-game really easily.

Fusl: Well, in case of VRCX at least, avatar still needs to be set to public to be "stolen". Can't really get anything private since it still relies ingame status itself of the model to do anything with it. Even swapping from the program requires instance rejoin.

Uzy Uzume: Zach initially mentioned an issue regarding bypassing disabled avatar cloning being a problem and VRCX does allow you to favorite the avatar directly when you have it open, so you can just switch to it directly ingame and don't have to restart in order for it to become active by using the select avatar option.
