No thanks…

I agree.

please make this an option that can be toggled by menu or even a cfg tweak, When streaming a performance in the game (like DJing) its common to set cameras in worldspace up in advance.
However it’s not uncommon to get disconnected for various connectivity reasons.
When loading back into the world having the worldspace camera positions still be there is vital to get back into performing. Having to also re-pose your cameras is 1 extra step i’d like to skip in such a chaotic, hectic moment

I personally think the drone camera should not have collission because the ability to get cinematic shots and the filmmaking aspects heavily out weigh the possibility to cheating in games. As someone who loves filming in vr this would be an incredible help to add new tools to my film arsenal.

While you’re working on the camera close button, can you make the it easier to hit one-handed?

I only have one hand, and so trying to get the laser pointer to aim at the close button on the camera without instead grabbing the camera is by far the most frustrating UI issue in VRChat.

I have a prefab that positions above the player’s nametag and scales to match its height based on distance. This was to display who’s the master, stats, Patreon supporters, etc., and also had the same issue in the mirror. It would be nice if you could expose the nameplate’s position and/or scale so world creators can display health, Patreon supporters, and other things easier.

You could also do a system where you can run LockToNamePlate(VRCPlayerApi player, GameObject gameObject) & UnlockFromNamePlate(GameObject gameObject) to parent/lock a transform onto a player’s nameplate. That would let you be able to control it by checking the bounding box of the elements and forcing it to be above the nameplate.

However, I do understand if you don’t want to do this as it could lead to problems of world creators forcibly hiding the nameplate. Although there are avatars that already hide their own nameplates through a shader.

Please add more abilitys to move the Face Mirror.
On some avatars half of the head is not in the Face Mirror.
An option to zoom out or in would be help so much.

Globally and thank you for Answering my question with all these updates which seem to be based off of mods created by people from the community A VR chat I was just in one of these updates might eventually be avatar search but I guess it’s not gonna happen thank you for the information just wanted to know.

Would prefer the camera to not have collision added. I assume if collision is added for drone mode it would mean the camera would just have collision always, which would be a huge hassle for streaming if your camera kept hitting walls and going crazy or just getting stuck
The privacy argument doesn’t hold much water when the drone has such a small range and other users can simply put on an invisible avatar and playspace move anywhere that they want in a world.
Seems silly to go out of your way to add limitations.

Would also prefer for ‘stream camera’ button to remain in quick menu. It seems to be gone in the above screenshot. Also dislike the idea of resetting camera pins when you switch worlds. It’s much faster and easier to manually reset the pins than it is to get your shot set back up if you time out or if need a new instance of the same world. Maybe some way to have permanently saved pin location

I don’t know if you guys have any plans for this but I think it would be cool if we could know somehow if someone has activated the avatar I’m wearing. Like just a green and red sign in the name of the person would be helpful.
I ask that bc it happens always I’m trying to show what my avatar can do to someone and then the person just tells me why I’m a banana for him.

I’ve loved the face mirror and it was a great job and I think it would be cool if we could have a body mirror too in the hud

i think camera collission turning off for desktop is basically space mover, so its okay not having it if camera cant go futher than 15 meters. Secret rooms can be just placed further. But if you add camera collision the first thing im gonna try is move close to the wall and turn camera on to see will it spawn below the wall

Gonna probably put up a canny for this, but something I’d love to see down the road would be spawnable local lights. As in, being able to spawn lights like point/spot/etc with options to adjust their color and brightness.

This would come with the caveat of having a tag of some sort or setting in the Unity upload screen that creators can use to disallow the use of it, similar to how mods with things like noclip/esp/etc had whitelists so they couldn’t be used on certain maps. This would be nice for letting users be able to see in darker worlds and in helping set up better lighting in camera shoots.

Currently I have a system on my Avatar that does this and it’s sooo useful for content creation. However it does add 45 lights to the Avatar. Having a local system that enables creators to do all this without disturbing others would be amazing. I do recognize this request is mostly geared towards catering to creators on the platform over the player base as a whole, though.

Just thought I’d put this out there since you’ve acknowledged the community’s want for being able to locally clone and record our own avatars.

Great update for the last few weeks.

I somehow dislike the chat pop up function is at the person head.
Opening quick menu then finding keyboard to chat is very troublesome. (If you’re using emote u have to go all the way to options to find keyboard)
Should allow desktop user to press enter to chat. (Closing chat keyboard screen also feels a bit wonky / laggy)
Allows user to click on link in the chat or copy them.

Would like to have (This is strictly for desktop user)
Bottom left corner chat box so user can easily see chat, pressing enter to chat without the on screen keyboard.
Allow copying of text of other user
Allow opening of link when clicking on

(For VR Users)
Chat on top of user head stays the same
But when pressing the keyboard chat function
Allows user to have a chat log with their names on
Allows user to copy from others chat and paste.
Allow user to click on link while typing.


Suisei drawing in the past :smiley:

The desktop camera seems to lack controller (PS4) interactivity. Is this just a bug, or will it be added soon?
