Definitely not me spending a fuck ton on nice networking gear to get a whole 6ghz band to myself 🤣

It is more that QuestLink in general is a worse experience imho, the fact you have to host steamVR inside of another VR Runtime just feels wrong. Just so many hoops, whereas ALVR hooks into steamVR, no additional.

Have you tried using ALVR wired instead? I've had some success getting that to work reliably.

Also depends on if you are a US citizen, as someone from the UK, the US shouldn't have that info already (almost certainly they do but they shouldn't)

But the only reason why we can do that is because we have a team that we train to deal with that, I know clubs that are run by 1 person, I don't know how they could possibly be able to do a full instance.

I understand why there is no official way to enforce avatar performance and we at SONAR try our best to be accommodating, but it tends to devolve into 'but they're a very poor, why can't I' so we went to poor or better. Would be amazing to enforce it similar to turning on or off prints or items.

Little bit of a stroll around the city and now back!

Final day of RENDR fest was fantastic!

Yeah the haze machine was working overtime 🤣

I once found a sc5000m in the box of a sc6000, I was happy with the price but the age was too much to justify. The shop just kinda took things in that they could find and didn't have much knowledge it would seem.

another Soon™️, I'm going to redo them because I want the marmoset workflow. No longer have access to substance with a substance file.

probably, but for now I'm either planning on a Prime4+ or going denon standalone 6000+ type thing.

really sad that they've discontinued these...they feel so ahead of the CDJs but just no one bought them.

tbh this one was a bit of a rush job...I've gotten better moving to Marmoset Toolbag instead of substance, the handling of decal textures is so nice on the backend side of things, no slowdown with like 200 decals loaded into VRAM.

Soon™️

have been quiet for a while...have a look at a new thing I'm making 👍

🤣 yeah it does break that something good, something bad pattern we like to do!

Also as someone who moderates avatars in clubs...it means I don't have to dkie on frames to see what someone is wearing.

I think it is more about humans and pattern recognition, it is perfectly normal to try and categorise and find patterns. Ofc people can change these definitions over time and I think the fact that our nomenclature for things is not static is a really cool thing in communication.

Speaking of, why can't we see what rating an unloaded Avi is? Like surely you can fetch the meta data separate from the Avi itself.

This is a more philosophical thingy, that art can be separate from the artist. It ceases to be the artist's and becomes what the people make of it. There are songs that I can no longer listen to because of the artist. I wouldn't ask someone else not to listen, but act on the artist, not the art.

Also corrections, BC5 and BC7, soz was doing lightning round and got my head in a tizzy.

Oh and lots of render queue + frame debugger to make sure that things are batching in the right order so your floor and walls come last so you're not drawing pixels to be drawn over again.

Abuse smooth normals, Vertex Paint, Pack your Maps, Get texture formats right (BC4 Norm, BC5 Albedo, etc), back faces can go if you're never gonna see them, occlusion occlusion occlusion. Anything I missed?
