Hey all!
I’m new to VRChat and just starting to explore the worlds, avatars, and everything this wild virtual universe has to offer. So far, it’s been a bit overwhelming — but in a good way. 
I’ve mostly been wandering around, trying to get a feel for things, and I’m super curious about avatar customization and how people build such creative spaces. I’m hoping to learn, connect with others, and maybe even start creating at some point once I find my footing.
If you’ve got any tips for a newcomer or worlds you think are a must-see, I’d love to hear them. Looking forward to being part of the community and seeing where this journey takes me!
Catch you in the metaverse

Welcome to VRC!
If you’re interested in diving deep into avatar/world creation I’d really look into some basic Unity tutorials. The official Unity website has some great courses that can really give you a run down of the program.
If you’re looking for something lighter, the VRChat youtube channel has some good tutorials for things like uploading your first avatar.
Most people use Blender to make models, but there are plenty of texture editing and modeling programs you can use to ship things into Unity. It’s a lot to take in at once for sure though.
I’d start with searching around a website like Gumroad or Jinxxy for things other people have made as a starting point. Even a quick recolor can be a real knowledge investment though, it’s easy to get overwhelmed so don’t be afraid to look up youtube tutorials. If you find anyone in VRC who does these edits themselves that’s a great place to ask too!
There’s a lot to do in VRC but my favorite easily is Karaoke. It’s a great way to get over some stage fright and meet other people in a pretty accepting space. Keep your safety settings pretty strong in public and be pretty willing to mute/block and you’ll likely find some cool communities in here.
