For the love of god block Very poor avatars from public instances already.

[Orgvi]

I don't get the point of keeping them. I've seen 1,000,000 poly avatars and that isn't even exaggerated. You don't need 15 skinned meshes, or 71 materials. This shouldn't be the norm for most avatars, let alone flat colored anime character #1025. It's not that hard to make a avatar that doesn't take away 10 fps the second it loads because under the shirt there's fully modeled nipples.

Some people use these ♥♥♥♥ optimization practices as some sort of "flex" when any 3D artist will point out how it's just lazy.

p.s. please add a mobile shader with outlines so people stop doubling there poly count.

blocking %90 of the avatars in the lobby isn't a good solution.

you can make it so avis above a certain size would need to be manually enabled in settings, or just enable safety settings to block all but friends (which you should do anyway if you're in public instances)

^this^ you can also escape > gear > expand > avatars > avatar optimization > BLOCK POORLY OPTIMIZED AVATARS literally the thing your complaing about.

Neither is trusting strangers with avatars (high poly ones aside)

Optimization is at least 1/3 of the total work to make a avatar, and because it doesn't improve the visual quality, most people skip that so they can work on other avatars or projects.

This is a looooooooooong running issue in video games and will always be an issue.

Use safety settings.

Use safety settings.

Combine skinned meshes before exporting. Transfer weights on clothes then remove the hidden geometry. combine textures into a atlas. Some simple tricks that go a long way.

Most of those extreme polycounts are because people cram their entire wardrobe in one avatar and manage it with toggles.

What VRChat needs is a way to store wearables and props as separate asset bundles, that way the game only has to load a few at a time. The avatar's performance rank would be based on the model and default outfit, and all other outfits would have their own rank and use the default as their fallback.

You can upload them on separate avatars. It doesn't take much longer. Even then VRC is generous with allowing 8 skinned meshes and 16 statics on a medium avatar.
