Bleh. I hate that I keep falling for “impressive new thing!!” just for it to end up being wildly vibe coded and horrendously optimized.
That new “real sweat system” product that’s been trending a little from Booth is mostly AI slop. The shader code especially is 11,000+ lines of code just for water droplets on skin. For reference, my Body material using Poiyomi shaders is about 19k lines, which has an astronomical amount of features packed into it. 11k just for water droplets? The math ain’t mathin’ here.
Not to mention, the sweat tech’s shader requires using a uniquely named Grab Pass, and depending how you installed it, tessellation. Which are both very unoptimized. In my case I had tessellation disabled and it was still lagging my friends pretty badly last night.
I ended up stripping the entire asset and am only using the particle effects now mixed with a water droplets normal map in Poiyomi.
I haven't seen anyone talk about this, but you can upload separate PC & Quest VRChat avatars in a single Build & Publish.
- No additional addons needed
- No need to change Build Target to Android
- No need to copy Blueprint IDs
Here's how, with Per-Platform Avatar Overrides:

Poiyomi Pro 10.0.0 is out now on: https://t.co/HZfquPwyzI & https://t.co/ARS0KSlCCz
I'd consider this early access. There are a ton of changes and many more to come, but I think it's in a pretty good spot. There are some random extra things in there that I'm prototyping too.
Yall will complain about VRChat BJ gifs and fish worlds all day long and get 100,000 views, but as soon as someone posts something genuine and fun it gets 10 likes and 0 comments lol.
