VRChat is a platform that runs off of the Unity engine. Users can create and upload worlds and avatars using the VRChat Software Development Kit (SDK), by starting a project from within the Creator Companion. Projects can be made for either Avatars or Worlds using the latest Unity and SDK versions, guided by the Creator Companion. You can acquire the Creator Companion by signing into your VRChat account on the website, and downloading it. Your account must be at the "New User" Trust Rank, or greater to upload any content.
If it's your first time using Unity, the Creator Companion, or the SDK, there are several official and community tutorials to follow, which aid the process on creating and uploading the content that you want. Using the Creator Companion will install Unity, as well as install and update the required World or Avatar SDKs.
