Avatares
Los avatares sirven como modelos que representan a usuarios dentro de VRChat. Son el medio principal para que los usuarios puedan interactuar y expresarse dentro del entorno de realidad virtual (RV). A través de los avatares, los usuarios pueden proyectar sus personalidades, interactuar con el mundo, o explorar nuevas identidades en una forma creativa e inmersiva. Los avatares vienen en diferentes formas y tamaños y la comunidad de VRChat ha desarrollado una vasta lista de avatares, cada uno con estilos y estéticas únicos. Todo depende del gusto del usuario para decidir qué avatar le encaja mejor o crear el suyo usando el SDK de VRChat.
Personalización
Cuando los usuarios se unen a VRChat por primera vez, son equipados con el avatar por defecto Robot. También se les presenta una selección oficial de avatares de VRChat, que ofrece una variedad de caracteres para elegir. Sin embargo, estas opciones iniciales representan solo una fracción de los avatares disponibles.
Lista destacada
VRChat mantiene una lista destacada de avatares públicos, optimizados para el rendimiento y diseñado para adaptarse a distintos estilos y preferencias. Los usuarios pueden buscar y probar esos avatares en cualquier tiempo navegando en la sección de Avatar dentro del Menú principal y seleccionando "Público" o "Legado".
Once you have found an avatar that you want to use, select it and confirm with the "Change into Avatar" button.
Cloning
Users have the option to clone avatars directly from other users. This feature allows users to adopt the same avatar they see another user wearing by selecting the user and utilizing the "Clone Avatar" button within the Quick Menu. If this option is unavailable, it indicates that the other user has disabled the cloning feature, or is using an avatar marked as private that was specifically uploaded to their account.
Favoriting
Users can favorite avatars to save them for later. Favorited avatars will appear in the "favorites" row on the avatar page. Each row can hold up to 50 avatars. With an active VRChat+ subscription, you can access 5 additional avatar rows.
There are multiple ways to favorite an avatar. If you’re wearing the avatar you want to favorite, go to the avatars page and click the "Favorite Avatar" button in the bottom right corner, below the avatar preview. If someone else is wearing an avatar you want to favorite, select the user and press the "Favorite Avatar" button in the Quick Menu.
Pedestals and avatar worlds
Avatars can also be discovered on avatar pedestals. These are typically found within worlds under the "Avatar Worlds" category. These pedestals display previews of avatars, which users can interact with to clone from.
Platform compatibility
See also Platforms for more detailed information.
VRChat avatars are designed differently for PC and mobile platforms, primarily due to the limitations of devices like the Oculus Quest, Android, and iOS systems. Consequently, some avatars may not be viewable or usable on all devices. Detailed information on these limitations can be found in the following resources:
Creators can configure an avatar to be compatible with multiple platforms by uploading multiple versions of the same avatar ID. If an avatar can't be shown to the user, it will first try to display an Impostor of that avatar. If no impostor has been generated, the user will instead be displayed as a Fallback avatar.
The user's Fallback avatar can be changed in the Avatar menu.
Performance Ranking
Avatars are ranked by performance thresholds. They go from Very Poor
, to Poor
, to Medium
, to Good
, to Excellent
. This classification helps users understand the performance impact of their avatars on the overall VRChat experience. Examples of things that influence avatar performance rankings include mesh polygon count, material count, texture resolution, animator complexity; and avatar components such as PhysBones or constraints.
You can find more details on the official documentation at Avatar Performance Ranking System.
Creating and uploading
Users can enhance their VRChat experience by creating and uploading custom avatars, provided they comply with VRChat's Terms of Service. To upload an avatar, users must first attain the rank of "New User" and acquire the necessary tools, such as the recommended version of Unity and the VRChat SDK.
A more detailed guide on what you can do with the SDK is available on the Creators docs at Creating Your First Avatar.
Once you have an uploaded avatar, you will be able to find them in the "Uploaded" section of your avatar list.
