@DX_Nacca First I was stuck when realized VRC doesn't allow custom scripts to run shaders. I've started thinking what can I use to change shader's floats. So the contacts and physbones step in helpful. Very blunt and hard to setup, plus some animator work. But I was happy! Now I'm happier)

[Johan JoWe @JohanWeis]

VRChat Liquid works, iteration #2.

It's much more performant, and way easier to setup... though has less tilting freedom. But I think this is the way I will use it in my work.

Thank you @DX_Nacca for revealing such an elegant trick using vrc physbone as a root for rendering!

[Johan JoWe @JohanWeis]

@DX_Nacca Great job, this simplifies it a lot :3 I wonder, how did you manage to get "cap" and waves on it! Sorry I'm too new to shaders to get it on my own :)

[Johan JoWe @JohanWeis]

@DX_Nacca Though, answering your question, I'm not using Stencils, it's custom shader with adjustable ripples, their height, size and speed. And wobble is done via shader too, but is driven by physbones. mmm quite complex to be honest :)

[Johan JoWe @JohanWeis]

Okay.. so you say some Liquid Simulation in VRChat?
- First iteration is done :3

I bet you have some ideas how to use it ^_^

[Johan JoWe @JohanWeis]

@DX_Nacca Oh yeah I see, correct me if I'm wrong, here you demonstrate a stencil setup, with an object that's driven by physbone and that is masking out liquid mesh. I like this solution!

[Johan JoWe @JohanWeis]

@Very_Revy This is custom built shader pared with vrc physbones ^_^

[Johan JoWe @JohanWeis]

@prawnstellation No it isn't, since this is custom shader and VRC don't allow it for Quest users.

[Johan JoWe @JohanWeis]

I'm planning on doing legit tutorial, but it will take time. For now I can say that this is custom built shader pared with vrc physbones ^_^

[Johan JoWe @JohanWeis]

@VRCEterhia Animation is really pleasant to watch :3

[Johan JoWe @JohanWeis]

Okay... so my R&D is looking promising, this actually works in VRChat, as a part of avatar :3 Not perfect yet, but it's working!

[Johan JoWe @JohanWeis]

@DeimosVRC This is really awesome!

Liquid is also on phys bones? Or shader on top of it?

[Johan JoWe @JohanWeis]

@draw_for_food ohhh are you returning? :3

[Johan JoWe @JohanWeis]

@oldmanofthefire Looking really good! I was wondering about raising the arms above shoulder height, but even if something clips, I guess it blends into the overall style and feel.

[Johan JoWe @JohanWeis]

@VRC_Eterhia Hey! I like it a lot. I wonder how did you manage to animate outline, if it's outline :3 I was playing last time with texture panning in outline thickness map.

[Johan JoWe @JohanWeis]

@VRC_Eterhia Hey. superb work on material, I wonder how did you manage to bring in animated stars, is it a flipbook? and highlights on main armor! Amazing

[Johan JoWe @JohanWeis]

Rigging for VR game, trying to solve unnatural deformations. It doesn't use blendshapes, only 3 constraints :3

[Johan JoWe @JohanWeis]

@ScarlettKat_ @vr_hai @dismay_vrc Hey! Awesome work! How do you manage to click on butt in game view :3 I believe that I can only grab bones

[Cramble @Cramblest]

Super excited to participate in the new Avatar Marketplace!! For the first time ever Bubba or Haruki, are now ALSO available to buy in game, and more characters coming soon!

This has been an amazing journey so far, and I can't wait to see what's to come

[Johan JoWe @JohanWeis]

Using blender to create some clips is very pleasing and not that hard :3
