Performers who do streaming-based performances on VRChat and other places have a few options for actually providing their stream. Once upon a time it was preetty common for people to use Twitch or YouTube Live, but those are now being locked down due to advertising considerations. So, many people currently use VRCDN, an inexpensive but limited hosted service that you have to pay monthly for. But for folks with a bit more technical acumen, there’s another choice, Owncast, which is basically ...| Sockpuppet
Since my last post about this I have obtained a Leap Motion 1 and have experimented with it a whole bunch, and unfortunately, it’s just not quite there for what I need out of it.| busybee
Hey! How’s it going? I think things are fairly okay on my end.| busybee
Now that I’m doing even more performing in VRChat and also making use of occasional backing tracks (instead of just doing everything totally live), it’s time for me to improve my audio setup. But Windows audio is super tricky and annoying, so it took me a bunch of iteration to figure out how I want to make it work now.| busybee
Today was the second day of VRelium Enchanted, which I performed at and had a really good time. I’m going to talk a bit about how VRChat performances work and some thoughts about my most recent one, in particular.| sockpuppet.band
I am pleased to be performing at VRelium’s upcoming show, “Enchanted,” a weekend-long music festival on September 6 and 7 in VRChat!| sockpuppet.band
One of the main things I do in VRChat is live performances, mostly doing guitar and vocals. One spot where this has been lacking is that I don’t have a satisfying way of tracking my hands while I play guitar, though. Here’s some things I’ve tried and things I’ve yet to try. At some point I’ll make a YouTube video about these different things.| busybee
Critter v1.7 brings a bunch of new features, some of which will require some changes to your existing avatar setup.| beesbuzz.biz

I’ve been accepted into Furality’s Dealer’s Den as a musician! I have a month to get my booth together and I’ve already got it like 90% done. It’s actually in an acceptable state already but there’s some more little things I want to do with the background video, and I’m learning so much DaVinci Resolve stuff to do it.| beesbuzz.biz
These are the documentation files for my Critter Junction Resident avatar. While some of the information in here may be of general interest, it is really intended as reference material for those who have purchased the avatar. As such, if you find any of this information helpful, please consider buying the base.| busybee: VRChat Stuff

Sometimes you need to be able to build and test an avatar from a different machine than what’s running VRChat. This can be a bit tricky. I finally figured out how to make the process less-awful.| busybee: VRChat Stuff

This is a very simple guide to using Blender to work on the critter base mesh. It’s not a tutorial for using Blender itself. For more general references on using Blender and modeling, please see my avatar creator resources.| busybee: VRChat Stuff
So you’ve adopted and/or become a critter and want to fulfill the obligation of being as many colors and patterns and materials as you can imagine. You have made an excellent choice! Here is how I do that stuff, myself. There might be better ways of doing it (there’s definitely a lot of things which feel like they could be automated, at the very least). If you find any improvements to this semi-annoying process, please let me know!| busybee: VRChat Stuff

One of the most poorly-defined yet critical things in configuring a VR avatar is where exactly to place the viewpoint. It can have a lot of impact on your viewing experience, especially with how the viewpoint ends up relating to the rest of the body. This becomes especially critical in systems like VRChat and Resonite where the physics of the body are directly impacted by this placement, and especially now that VRChat has built-in functionality for allowing a first-person view of your facial ...| beesbuzz.biz
