Is setting the vertex position to NaN even more performant than setting it outside of the clipspace? The latter is what I usually did. I never thought setting something to NaN on purpose. Sounds dangerous ๐Ÿ˜…. I guess it would discard the whole triangle then if just 1 vertex is NaN, which is nice.

Hehe. There seems to be a high demand for human pinball machines. Who would have thought ^^

Well, you can't be that just, yet (cool idea though!). But, you can be a pool ball in this world ;)

Thad's Balls by Thad Gyther Have you ever wanted to be a ball and just roll around without a care in the world?

You can now officially play with "Thad's Balls"!

...the world has been published and got a lot prettier, too! It also works on Quest now, but you won't turn into a ball there, you'll just be put inside of one.

Further gamification will likely be a future project.

It depends on the gogo loco version. But it only ever breaks when private spaces are enabled. That's why I made it optional. But it is an instance wide setting. If the instance owner decides to turn it on, it can not be turned off again (wouldn't want to drag people out of private spaces)

The world mode of the warp mirror in Thad Magic Mirrors now also works on quest!

Other changes:
- warp mirror and portal mirror now render at the expected resolution when taking a photo
- warp mirror and portal mirror are only updated when actually visible

It's all thanks to this amazing prefab by lox: booth.pm/ja/items/581...

I did make several changes, though. For example, to keep track of the current passage that is being read. That reminds me, I wanted to share my code with the creator.

I experience the same problem a lot. But per-group statuses might overcomplicate things for the more casual user (also thinking about the UI here). I wish I had a good solution.

Another thing I sometimes miss is an "invisible" status... because going red somehow feels awkward, too.

I really don't have much capacity to actively work on it, but what I can offer is to brainstorm with you how to tackle certain problems. Maybe we can talk in vrc some time.

My todo list is actually pretty full ๐Ÿ˜ตโ€๐Ÿ’ซ. You said your system is almost done. What is it you actually need help with?

I'll keep it in mind for a future update. Although, the fireplace still feels a little close. I have to think about it. The aquarium I could see even with the other options.

How to add @sim.red VRC Light Volumes support to your custom surface shaders? Well, you could just use this wrapper for the standard lighting function:

And here is an example surface shader that uses it:

There is also a way to sort of restrict it to a volume: Put it on a convex mesh, make a copy of that mesh and put a ShadowCaster material on the copy with Cull Front. Here you can get said ShadowCaster shader:

I feel like the more worlds I make, the less efficient I become. It has become kinda hard meeting my own standards... Anyway, here is a little teaser on what I'm currently working on.

My favorite thing about baked normal maps is that you can make hard edges appear rounded.

Do you like dynamic pillows and blankets? How would you like to have both at the same time?

...It's always toilets that would be extremly uncomfortable to use for the weirdest of reasons.
