Quick state of affairs! 5-9-26 (Patreon)

Quick update to let ya'll know the state of my tool going forward and my upcoming plans.

1) Wow there are alot of ya'll now, I was not expecting this to get this much attention, so sorry if I struggle with any of the social aspect of this stuff. Trying to be well meaning and honest. I'll be doing my best to help everyone out, but as this continues to grow hopefully people used to the system will be able to help you as well. Still feel free to reach out as needed. Maybe one day when I work up the energy I'll try to do some VRC group event? TBD.2) Lord ya'll been requesting alot of avis x'D. I've found so many I didnt even know existed through yall. I'll continue to do my best releasing them fairly steadily, but I do apologize if the base you really want takes a while. I've got over 150 models on my todo list and that doesnt even include the many makers who've welcomed me to work on the rest of their avatars. So far I've been prioritizing creators who've personaly come to me, ya'lls votes, and sometimes just my own curiosty or want for a model. If you want your model set up quickly the best way is to learn how to create a set up yourself! However, if blender scares you deeply, I'll be adding one more way shortly which comes to,,,3) I want to add an Avatar Raffle, so far the voting means the ones picked their typically are more popular avatars, so I want to create a way to get smaller avatars in the running. I'm still planning how to do this but it will likely be running a monthly raffle. People will be able to submit an avatars name into a hat if, - 1) Their avatar is much smaller in userbase. Especially those with a limited aftermarket (very little clothes). If you want a popular model the monthly vote is where you'll likely find it. - 2) They secure permission from the maker beforehand (saves me having to track down every single submission request and telling people no if their maker doesnt want me to add their avatar). - 3) Be willing to pay for a copy of the avatar for yours truely. There's been way to many requests for me to open commisions so this will hopefully make a good stop-gap. I'll likely pick one or two of these out of a hat each month and once I get the model in hand I'll get it set up just like the winning votes. I'll work on the details and hopefully run the first one sometime in the next week or two. Be sure to join my Discord as I'll likely host it through there.4) I will be taking a slight break on the technical updates side of the tool. My day job has gotten significantly busier and alot of upcoming cons means I'll be spending the last of my energy just getting models into the system. However when I get back into it likely August-October you can look forward to. - Better Documentation - Finalization of the physbone conversion system. - Humanoid avatar compatability? - Attempts at taur and other non standard model compatability. - Warp dead zones, Default and Custom (which parts of the body to ignore when warping) - Refreshed Menu and Avatar selection Navigation - Batch creation system (Press one button and complete the set up's for multiple avatars at once). - Unity tooling (Quick export and possibly looking into making a version of the tool that works soley in unity) - Many other bug fixes and gotchas, alongside a refactor of all my code (currently its much more in script kitty land then professional code and It aches me everytime I open it). 5) Due to me running low on time as well I think I might have to can my personal furality fit (for this year at least). However I am open to working with other makers on getting their stuff ported to other avatars using my in beta batch system. If you want your clothes roughly set up for like 60+ avatars at this point, please feel free to reach out to me. I really want to get a furality fit for a bunch of the avatars I have set up. 6) Thank ya'll so much, I love seeing what ya'll make and I get so so excited everytime yall get amped over a new avi or whenever I see ya'll building and making things. Keep it up ya'll.- Vulpes
