WIP VRChat Features
🕑 Added 2022-04-25 20:39:44 +0000 UTCHere's some behind the scenes of some features that I am setting up on my own personal avatar for use in VRChat!
First of all, the big one for me, my Avatar Awareness System
The goal of this system is to give HUD notifications to me when players touch or interact with parts of my avatar that are outside of my vision, allowing me to react to them as though I have been physically touched! Here's a picture of my contact setup for this system:
As you can see, I am practically covered in contact points. Each of these receivers is looking for interaction from various avatar contacts and drive an animation that gives a HUD notification to me indicating direction and type of interaction I've received. Here's the HUD Layout:
Now, this may look complicated and hectic, but keep in mind that only one of these elements actually show up at any given moment.
The left and right arrows refer to my shoulders, the up arrow for my head, the diagonal ones for my ears, the T for my tail, the A and arrows for both sides of my... rear... and the star to represent my "weak spot" as it's called being the back of my neck!
The entire system is tested and functional! Very proud of how it turned out!
The second of these features is my Dynamic Mood System that has my facial expressions driven by various body postures and poses. This one is more unfinished but here is a WIP pic of the contact layout:
These two contacts control two unique facial expressions under certain circumstances! When I scratch my head it plays a confused facial expression and when I put my hand to my chin with a "Finger Guns" gesture active it causes a thinking animation!
And of course, the final of the features that my main avatar will contain (Besides NSFW stuff and a biiiit of an experiment into a new thing I'm into which you'll see a sneak peek of some other time ;3) is simple contact setups for various reactions to things like headpats, boops, etc etc ^w^
