Awesome!

I may be a bit overpopulated about Ripper stealing 3D data in VRChat. Currently I do not plan to make avatars of Liru or Usada. But it is interesting to make a museum that advertises my past works. In that case, interactive characters with rigs can be placed there (it's not avatar) . <a href="https://twitter.com/myuRanRan/status/955757686968037382" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://twitter.com/myuRanRan/status/955757686968037382</a> However, I do not want the data that have rig stracture to be stolen, making a crappy movie.

I'm not sure I understand this post completely. You are making an enter-able VRchat world with models from your game, but are worried people will take the Liru/Usa Models? Does this mean you don't want people to use those models because you will/you have released them somewhere else already? I ask because I think it would be cool to have Liru/Usa as playable characters. That's just me though.

surely. I wish I could set the password when entering the world.

A good way to invite Patrons to a VRChat session would probably be through Patreon messages, most creators who do exclusive rewards send them that way.

I planned to study Unity and VRChat in parallel with Liru's DLC. But in fact VRChat is a little biased. The new field is interesting. hehe.

This VR chat thing is quite interesting, would like to see more of it. Are we gonna see more Liru DLC work soon?

yep, I want to invite you⁽ ´ ᵕ` ⁾ I want to give access to my world as a reward to the patron, but I do not remember a good way. In the case of a non-public world, no one can enter without be invited by me. If you search publicly, anyone can enter it. difficult.

It just pasted a normal map on the plane polygon. However, as long as the light moves or the plate does not rotate, a certain shadow is kept, so trial of this video has not made much sense.

A question about that character panel: Is that a 3d stereogram? Will it "pop out" in vr view? There are worlds with those 3d photos!

2) There are tools that actually rip all the model data in the render engines current draw calls. The methods to do this works on about every 3d game ever made. The tools work by taking a "snapshot" of everything currently rendered. The files are fragmented and hard to work with. This "snapshot" contains model Mesh and model Textures on the UV, which then can be put into a modelling tool to edit. The rips will not have bones, no visual effects, likely no shaders, and any kind of data that would give "motion" to the model to be used by rippers. Model rips in this form actually requires talent to repair and make the model, slightly, work like the original, because very important model data is lost when ripping.

I would like to clarify the model ripping announcement by vrchat mods. There are actually different cases to consider about ripping: 1) there is a hacked vrchat client that changes the hackers model identification (pointer to what he looks like) into another player's model. This is not model ripping, instead it is tricking the server's ability to assign appearances to the different players in the game. Everyones appearance is dictated by what the servers tells them to be, but the hacker found a way to trick the server. This exploit can be patched out. The hack has been bad because it also tricks player names and gives hackers admin commands, which is the immediate problem for security right now. Also to note, as everyone needs the model data downloaded into the game cache, everyone already has a copy of each other's models when together.

There is indeed a risk of stealing of models because assets are downloaded to your pc. However their naming will be all messed up and unless you clear your cache so finding the models is hard. Sadly a problem with any game really and especially because unity is C#. However im sure you will be fine. Hope i get to see the world sometime!

If you want to see how model and world rips look in vrchat, there are many user submitted worlds and characters that use other game rips, you will be able to see the flaws and poor quality quite easily. Some ripping cases are Disney games like Kingdom hearts, Dragon ball, Naruto, etc. These worlds are popular to explore, and ugly to look at due to low effort porting. I can give you a tour of all the rips if you want!
