Avatar gets teleported into the sky when I interact with chairs
looks ok.. what does it do in the editor itself with av3 emulator
-
Test 3d models without having new user rank?
The only thing I can think of is testing the model in Unity with this. https://github.com/lyuma/Av3Emulator
-
Does anyone have any recommended Unity plugins for working with avatars?
Lyuma's AV3 emulator also helps a lot. It's very similar to Gesture Manager.
-
Clothing toggles no longer working?
Are you using lyuma's avatar Emulator to test your avatar in unity? It can let you watch your Avatars animators in real time as you activate expressions through am emulated menu. https://github.com/lyuma/Av3Emulator

Is there anyway to upload my avatar and test to make sure it actually works without this screen getting in the way?
Unity package called AV3Emulator that allows avatar testing without uploading. That plugin saved me a LOT of time.

Disable lip sync while doing gestures
If you use Lyuma’s Av3 Emulator you can test that they are working correctly in unity.

VRChat is now down to "Overwhelmingly Negative" on Steam!
Have you ever touched Lyuma's avatar emulator? It's meant for testing avatars without having to upload it to VRChat. https://github.com/lyuma/Av3Emulator

Spending hours in blender, then Unity. Only to discover disastrous model issues when you finally load it into VR.
I highly recommend Av3Emulator, let's you somewhat test avatars in Unity. It's not always 100% but it works pretty well 99% of the time when I'm testing stuff with my avatars. Saves me so much time.

VRC Without Safety
If you don't already, add https://github.com/Thryrallo/VRC-Avatar-Performance-Tools to VCC/unity project and it'll warn you if you're not using optimal image formats, which is just dxt5 for non transparent images, and BC7 for transparent ones iirc

Any general tips for avatar optimization?
I recommend using a tool like Thry's Avatar Performance Tools to get more specific metrics on what to improve.
- Need help with avatar ranking

Certain Avatar Causes Quest To Crash! (Has lower stats then other avatars that don’t crash so I’m confused)
Go slap the Thry avatar perf tools in your project and see what it says https://github.com/Thryrallo/VRC-Avatar-Performance-Tools/releases

turn off random very poor avatars
oh i see. I also can reccomend this tool for checking vram in unity https://github.com/Thryrallo/VRC-Avatar-Performance-Tools

What is the recommended texture size for VRC-Avatars?
polycount isnt that important, just dont have it be ridiculously high (below 100k is fine, honestly, lower is always better, try to get it as low as you can) texture sizes depends, if your avatar uses a single texture atlas, it would be fine to have it be 4k, however if you have multiple textures you should keep it 1k and below per texture, since vram usage adds up quickly, and is one of the primary performance hogs in this game you can use thrys vram checker to list your vram usage and use it to help you optimise that https://github.com/Thryrallo/VRC-Avatar-Performance-Tools make sure to disable transparency on textures that dont need it, most wont need it never use crunch, it only reduces filesize, not vram usage, but it also adds load in lag due to uncrunch (this primarily matters for avatars, worlds can be okay to use in some cases, like hitting a quest size limit) another thing that you wanna care about is total material count that is active at once, since thats the drawcall count, another massive performance hog
-
how much do you prioritize optimization ?
the performance rating doesnt really relate to the actual performance of the avatar just because it goes into very poor due to toggles doesnt mean its actual state is above very poor limits disabled things incur no performance cost, the only thing you wanna care about is the total vram cost which you can check with something like https://github.com/Thryrallo/VRC-Avatar-Performance-Tools

Does anyone have any recommended Unity plugins for working with avatars?
Thry's Avatar Tools provide some metrics that the VRChat SDK does not provide. They are important metrics, though, and can help make your avatar perform better and not lag other people.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing Av3Emulator and VRC-Avatar-Performance-Tools you can also consider the following projects:
VRC-Gesture-Manager - A tool that will help you preview and edit your VRChat avatar animation directly in Unity.
cats-blender-plugin - :smiley_cat: A tool designed to shorten steps needed to import and optimize models into VRChat. Compatible models are: MMD, XNALara, Mixamo, DAZ/Poser, Blender Rigify, Sims 2, Motion Builder, 3DS Max and potentially more
combo-gesture-expressions-av3 - Attach face expressions to hand gestures, and make it react to Avatars 3.0's features, including Contacts, PhysBones and OSC.
PoiyomiToonShader - A feature rich toon shader for unity and VR Chat
lightbox-viewer - Lightbox Viewer lets you simultaneously visualize changes in shader material settings under different lighting conditions.
