Spooky you have some of the best and most approachable VRC specific creation tutorials. Your older vid kicked me from 'wtf is a normal map' into learning Photogrammetry. Thanks for these updated tutorials!
i used your first tutorial to make a world for my friend while they were going through a really tough time due to a loss. I now am using this tutorial to make them a new one for their birthday which is much more beautiful and was 100 times easier to make. If it wasn't for you I wouldn't of been able to do this for them and it really means a lot to me. I also wanted to say after making the first world, I decided to get into creating avatars, something I wanted to do for an entire year before actually going in and doing it. Thank you so much for doing these videos, I really want you to know that you impacted me and pushed me into doing something I wanted to do for a very long time
This is easily the best tutorial I have seen on VRC creation. Blender and Unity are extremely confusing to anyone just starting out, and you explain it in a way that makes it easy to retain the information and learn. I appreciate your work both on TH-cam and VRChat. Thank you making these tutorials and spreading your knowledge to others.
shift-tilde is another shortcut for this and in blenders navigation settings you can set it to walking with gravity and set your view height to scale etc, its very useful, you can even lock a camera to your view in this mode and keyframe it to record walkthroughs
I'm only at 19:15 but it's really amazing how simple you explain it. I feel like a lot of tutorials try to teach you everything you "need" to know, including things like sculpting and lots of other complex things, rather than just getting to the point. It's reassuring to see that you got to this point by just modulating planes with a few tools and taking advantange of the array modifier very naturally by showing the process. This is definitely at least motivating me to learn blender and unity, since before I would have huge goals with no clear process or path to get there and would give up fast. But now I feel like I have my foot in the door.
To all the people who come to this tutorial in the future. 2:08:15 Crunch compression is like zipping the texture only for transport. When someone comes to your world, it will be smaller to download, but it gets uncompressed when they load the world into VRAM. So it doesn't make it any more performant, it only makes it easier to download. Becareful if you are building a massive world and you feel like you're world is not taking up a lot of space or resources when it actually is. Its good to use, but bad to assume its helping reduce its rendered size.
I ran into you yesterday while world hoping, but did realize I was watching Your tutorial, lol. Thank you for taking the time to make these so detailed and clear
I was doing this INSIDE of my headset using virtual desktop. I don't even use my actual laptop anymore. All this metaverse VRchat stuff is very reminiscent of the early internet and I LOVE IT! Idk I love VR
Oh i'm excited to watch this video and dive in, the comments are all saying exactly what i want to hear. Keybinds Simple Getting to the point Detailed and Clear i love youtube
also to point out, if anybody here has tower unite, you can learn how to decorate in that game too. People there also make huge 3-story houses using just simple cubes for walls/floors/ceilings/exterior. Then you realize it's actually the same thing in Blender and Unity at least for manual placement. Just Blender has more automation tools and smart tricks to help your speedy workflow, then Unity has a lot of quality of life stuff and materials/shaders are easy to drop in.
Hold on a second, now I know why "spookyghostboo" sounds so familiar. You made Suburban Lakehouse! It's an honor to have used this tutorial as my actual kick start to learn Blender. I was able to create an avatar recently, and I've been making all sorts of things by rendering in Cycles. Thanks for providing this video since it helped me finally get into 3D!
Thank you Spooky, this is the greatest tutorial ever created for anything! You made difficult task easy to understand, and I was slowly able to follow along the whole thing throughout the past 2 weeks and everything aside one spot in the room with the lighting not showing worked. It was extremely fun to follow along and incredibly informative, hoping to put these newly learned skills to good use (:
Thank you for this tutorial! I'm going to reference it for my future builds. Have you ever tried to make a world backup or make a copy and then work on that as your quest build? I wonder if that would work, I would be afraid of corrupting the original pc build so I'm wondering if they would somehow be linked.
part 3 here it goes, good to see you have settled in on blender and especially for sharing a few helpful keybinds and features that show how it elevates the creation process. I still get a bit of a shock with the lack of precision at some points (like overlapping faces when making a wall, instead of fusing it with the corresponding ground), but to be honest should someone just starting out really have to bother with such excessive details. Probably not, would just ruin the fun and it will happen in due time anyway.
This is great, but I have a question. Around 19 minutes in when you are creating the stairs you delete some of the faces. What is the benefit of deleting the faces?
the more faces that are there the more stuff the player needs to render. Its not like a couple of faces are going to make or break the optimization of your room, but its good to get in the habit of deleting faces players wont ever see. You delete a face here and then there, and then by the end of your project youve deleted thousands of faces that the player no longer needs to render. Faces they were never going to see anyway.
i couldnt find the lighting tab and had to seek outside help during this vid so this might help. go to window>render>lighting settings.. you can drag the tab out of the window and on to the task bar as spooky did once apon a he doesnt remember he did that
when you were making stairs, why didn't you just make them as solid blocks but instead made them individually? Is it to make the final file smaller or does it not matter?
it doesn't matter. It is faster to just make a cube and use the bevel tool or something. Theres lots of ways to do things, that is just how I usually do it.
Thank you for this tutorial! I have a problem involving the bevel tool, though, and figured I'd ask here since google isn't helping much... I'm gonna be real bad at describing this, so bear with me. When I try to bevel the edge of an object with CTRL+B, only the side faces of the object seem to have anything applied to it, while the top face remains flat and unchanged. After applying the bevel and clicking off of the object, it's still just a rectangle. Pretty sure I'm doing something wrong here, but I can't figure out what it is.
you may have extra vertices there. try to merge vertices by distance. Double check that this only happens on the one mesh. if it happens on other meshes, you may have to check you bevel settings.
im trying to make l a larger world with multiple floors and struggling with uv-ing the base mesh-- does it make sense to slice up your walls and stairwells and stuff into separate objects and then unwrap them individually? worried about keeping the seams together and stuff
I would suggest just doing it however it makes sense to you. breaking it up would work. If I'm using a seamless texture, sometimes I just select everything and use cube projection and hope it looks good. if your walls are complicated, it can take a while to UV properly
@@spookyghostboo thanks im exploring different uv techniques now. helps to have keywords to search for like cube projection, atlas, project from view, follow active quads, flattening islands etc
A question regarding performance and optimization, but if i were to make something, would it be better to have objects at least merged? Or is that not how that works?
It depends. sometimes yes, sometimes no. i like joining things based on occlusion zones. but sometimes its better to keep objects separate so players don't render everything. It all depends on your project and what will work best for whatever objects youre rendering.
you may be having some bigger issues if youre getting compiler errors. You can add a new camera to the scene by right clicking in the hierarchy and selecting camera
so technically one would work, if you assign it to the world in the lighting settings. But you would want to set up one in each room. basically, where ever that reflection ball is, thats where the reflection image is going to be taken frame and assigned to the objects. THe probe will only effect whatever the rectangle hits (unless you assign it to the world in the lighting settings)
I have a problem I've done everything up until the part about generating lightning, & my problem is that, when ever I try a generate the light it always ends up in the 6/11 visibility & then it keeps saying out of memory, & never continues, it just gets stuck & I've got 32gb of physical memory & 6gb of vram on my rtx graphics card & I've tried closing absolutely Any & Everything! having only the unity program it self open & running. It is a large world, where you can both go inside & outside the house. & the outside is large, but mostly empty only consisting of trees, a river, 3 benches & some street lights put near the benches, I have no idea on how to fix this plz someone help me!
Hi Spooky! I just want to ask on the part you set the mirrors buttons, did you set it to “SendCustomEvent” or “SetActive” to the mirrors buttons? Because it appeared a NullReferenceException error when I set it as “SendCustomEvent” even though I put in the exact name of the event? I’m hoping to hearing from you as soon as possible! Thank you!
for ui menus, you have to do Sendcustomevent. ive had projects in the past that seemed to be set up exactly right but then they just dont work. Redoing the ui button sometimes fixes it.
I don't know why I'm having a difficult time trying to unzip files from booth and getting the contents of the file to show up in my "import fbx"' menu... I cant get any of the free packs I chose to get working..
Thanks!!! but im pretty sure I'm just dumb and not unzipping the files properly...I may even not be downloading blender files they may be unity..im completely new to pc stuff 😅
When uploading for android (Quest), I get Export Exception - System.IO.FileNotFoundException: 1/AppData/Local/Temp/DefaultCompany/Map Start/scene-Android-Tutorial scene.vrcw does not exist I don't know what this means but it won't let me upload
Thank you so much! I love how beginner friendly you’ve made this tutorial. I haven’t watched all you other and older build videos, but I would like to see this type of tutorial doing more than just a room. I’m very interested in learning a bit about building the environment around one room such as making the yard or other surroundings. Thank you!

I can't express how thankful I for you calling out what your keyboard strokes are. This taught me SO much I needed to know.
In Unity you can also hold down RMB and use WASD to move around like a video game. Very very useful.

1:41:20 you need to turn off sRGB in the import settings of PBR textures, that's why it looks too shiny.
