• Making a VR Chat world from scratch, need advice?
  2 projects | /r/VRchat | 9 Dec 2023

  You should use Cats Blender plugin in Blender. The recommended version is Blender 3.5, which you can find in their archives. And dev branch of cats, but I like this fork because keeps the bake tool. You can use Blender 2.8 (the version the latest official release of cats uses).

• VrChat Avatar Creator Merged Bones Together?
  2 projects | /r/VRchat | 9 Dec 2023

  As for the stretchy-stretch, not sure. But if you use cats in Blender, you could probably automatically fix it. The latest version to use is Blender 3.5 with the Cats dev branch (just grab zip, add that). Though I prefer this fork for 3.5, because it keeps the bake functionality. Or Blender 2.80, if you prefer.

• Im a newbie and imported a VRM file to Blender, I'm trying to animate it but it brings my pc down to 3FPS
  1 project | /r/blenderhelp | 5 Oct 2023

  Hi I'm the newbie, I'm a Vtuber trying to animate with my 3dmodel that was created in mind for VSeeFace just for fun and to create some animations to post. I ran into a few problems like Blender not taking the .vrm format but i used a plugin called CATS to get it to import.Ive been trying on my own to animate with the model but doing anything like moving it slows my PC down a ton, I also have a couple concerns like why is there so many bones and colliders.Link to cats (using development version): https://github.com/absolute-quantum/cats-blender-plugin

• How can I optimize or reduce 50MB Mixamo Characters?
  1 project | /r/Unity3D | 3 Jun 2023

  Decimation of skinned meshes (your Mixamo characters) can be done with various tools. Results will vary. Depends a lot on the topology of the input mesh. Nothing beats proper retopology. There are paid assets on the asset store. https://assetstore.unity.com/?q=mesh%20optimization&orderBy=1 NanoLod is free but can't remember if it does skinned meshes. https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/modeling/nanolod-automatic-lods-193314#reviews More advanced is Simplygon which has a free tier I think. https://documentation.simplygon.com/SimplygonSDK_9.1.27400.0/unity/ My favourite is a blender tool originally intended for VRChat avatars but works on any characters. https://github.com/absolute-quantum/cats-blender-plugin As well as simplifying the mesh data, I would recommend combining the separate parts into a single mesh and texture atlas into only one or two materials (one opposite, one with transparency for hair)

• The blender cats plug-in isn’t working for blender 3.5 and I can’t find a fix, could someone help me find a solution or should I rollback the updates?
  2 projects | /r/VRchat | 25 Apr 2023

  You can download the development branch from github for CATS, it should work with 3.5

• I've noticed a culture of "The worse my performance rank, the higher class my avatar is." among specifically the e-boy and e-girl crowd.

• A bit more from my project :)

• Trying to export this model using CATS on Blender, but I keep getting an error message every time I try. Is there anything I can do to fix this or is there another way I can get this model into Unity?

• Can I request some avatars I want made?
  1 project | /r/VRchat | 1 Feb 2023

  I've used Models Resource for finding existing models, and some of them come with proper rigging/skeleton. If you manage to get such a model, you should import it into Blender using CATS plugin and do the necessary tweaks before exporting it as an FBX to then import into Unity. One thing to make sure is that is has all of the proper bones that VRChat needs for the Avatar Descriptor; if it doesn't, these can be added in Blender.
