Occlusion culling treats static objects (like the map) and dynamic objects (like players and pickups) separately. Static objects can hide and be hidden. (You don't always want static objects to do both.) They'll be baked into the data and can't be changed at ...

By default, Unity will put the entire scene into one big chunk of space, called a View Volumes. If you place an Occlusion Area into the scene, Unity will only calculate occlusion data for the inside of that space, which can make the occlusion data much smalle...

The Devouring is a large map in VRC that uses occlusion culling to squeeze the most performance out of Unity. Here is some advice from its developers. Don't forget, occlusion is calculated using Opaque mesh renderers as occluders. Transparent materials will...

Occlusion Portals Occlusion Portals are occluders that can be turned off and on and affect occlusion. If you have a large object in your scene that can open/close, like a door or toggle-able object, you can place an occlusion portal alongside it and open/clos...

A reflection probe captures an image of the world around it and stores it into a "cubemap" - a six-sided texture that can fill every side of a cube. Each side of the texture is square, and of the same resolution. This means a "512" resolution probe is six 512...

Reflection probes capture an image of their surroundings into a texture. This means a few things A higher resolution probe is much sharper, but much much bigger, due to containing six textures. The texture is static. It can't change. It won't be updated if t...

Supersampled Probes When baking a probe at a low resolution, the result can look a bit low-res. This is because the probe is rendered at that low resolution before it's saved. If you bake the probe at a higher resolution, and then set the Max Size lower on th...

If you've ever disliked the way your cartoon or anime-styled avatar looks under certain lighting conditions then you may be dealing with the dreaded blob face! Cartoon and anime faces were never meant to be lit the way they're shaped, so ugly shadows from the ...

This will only work in versions of Blender from 2.8+. The add-on we're going to use, Abnormal, doesn't support 2.79. If you're still hanging on to Blender 2.79, give Blender 3.0 a try! It's greatly improved and the learning curve shouldn't be any steeper than ...

We need to tell Abnormal which vertices to influence and which ones not to. Abnormal uses vertex groups for this. Vertex groups are normally used for rigging and skinning models, in a process called "weight painting", but they can be used for anything else and...

The simplest way to apply custom normals to a face is to flatten them, giving the face the appearance that it is a flat surface that is uniformly lit. Select your head/face mesh and open the right-side panel (press N). Under the Abnormal tab, there is a drop ...

Shading the face cylindrically is slightly more advanced but still a simple and lazy process. Select your head/face mesh and open the right-side panel (press N). Under the Abnormal tab, there is a drop down selector that should show a list of your mesh's vert...

Anyone who’s tried to learn creating content for VRChat understands the lack of collected, concise learning materials. Tutorials are scattered, with many being barebones, outdated or go against best practices (including VRChat’s official documentation). The go...

The geometry of the models are called a mesh, and are made of polygons, or 2D shapes: triangles (3 sides), quads (4) and n-gons (5+, typically undesirable). These polygons are made of vertices (the points), edges, and faces. Originally posted by ck12.org: ...

Select your head/face mesh and open the right-side panel (press N). Under the Abnormal tab, there is a drop down selector that should show a list of your mesh's vertex groups. Select the "Custom Normals" vertex group we created earlier. Start Abnormal with th...

To upload custom content to the game, you must install a specific version of Unity, the VRChat SDK, and use a VRChat account (not Steam or Oculus) of at least New User (Blue) ranking. Installing Unity You will want to install the Unity Hub, as it makes manag...

The following section on materials will cover what is needed to know for both avatars and worlds. Specifics for avatars and worlds will be covered in their respective sections. Color or detail is applied to the mesh by using a material. It combines a shader ...
