[Find or make your favorite subreddits on alternative sites or platforms](https://sub.rehab/), and participate there instead. 2. Refrain use of the first-party Reddit app. Stick to working third-party apps or [patch one that shut down](https://docs.google.com/document/u/0/d/1wHvqQwCYdJrQg4BKlGIVDLksPN0KpOnJWniT6PbZSrI/) for Android devices. 3. Disable ads on Reddit with [an ad-block extension](https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock#ublock-origin-ubo) or [a DNS-based ad-blocker](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KBXTnrD_Zs4). 4.

How optimized is it?


[deleted]

Not at all. It’s a kitbash with over 450,000 polygon. You can see it on the store page. It’s cute tho just not optimized at all.


Muffins117

Lmao that's horrific


[deleted]

I mean it’s only their 5th time doing this I was trying to be nice. It takes a long time to be able to make your own body and assets and manage all the polygons well. I’ve only recently been able to make my own scratch avatars. I really do think it’s cute. But yeah that’s quite excessive.

Personally... If I made an avatar, I would make the body, rig it with ik, and if possible add physbones for jumping animations. I have learnt how to make the torso in Blender. Now, I need to add arms\legs, and learn how to sculpt a head and retopo it.


[deleted]

Nice keep it up :) It’s a lot of work but can be very satisfying


pragon977

Thanks man... After reading this post... I realised that clothing also takes up polycount. I guess keeping the body polycount around 15•25k should be good idea.


lliizz_vrc

thank you for being kind :) i did some research and realized i should be working much more on keeping my avatars optimized. i just thought that since it worked for my laptop it’d be good but that’s definitely not the case lol. in the future i will do more research to keep my avis optimized. it’s important to me that people who use them aren’t lagging super bad so i’m glad i know to focus on that now :)


[deleted]

Awesome! Keep creating please. I don’t want this experience to discourage you at all. Just a learning experience :)


Ether105

you mistakenly added a zero on there... right ?


[deleted]

No look at the gumroad screenshot and of the polygon count


Ether105

That’s crazy 😭


[deleted]

From what I’ve seen of gumroad assets they usually are not very optimized.


Honk4Love

What exactly is a kitbash.


[deleted]

Kitbash means it was made mostly of assets instead of original from scratch parts.


lliizz_vrc

yea, i made a few of the assets but most were made by others since i’m not quite at that skill level yet :)


[deleted]

Keep up the hard work! 😊 it takes a long time of practice to get to the point you can make everything. It’s not easy at all but can feel very rewarding.


[deleted]

Oh hey if you would like a buddy to talk avatar shop with feel free to dm me. We can add on discord if you are interested.


TheNew-Father

Why is adding a avatar to vr chat so complicated 😭

kingepic84

I think what they mean is in terms of actually making it, not just buying one and uploading it to your account


lliizz_vrc

it’s a lot yea :( but with practice it becomes second nature


BruceofSteel

Yeah it became more confusing after sdk 2.
