Impostors

I would like to wear Impostor avatar directly. Currently, users can wear their fallback avatars. (Fallback avatars uploaded as separate avatars can be worn directly, and uploads for Android can be viewed if we have Quest/Android mobile). Impostor is the only one we can't wear and see it directly. If we can't see it directly, we won't know if there's a problem.

In addition to show for performance blocks, it would be great that imposters load instead of the boring gray prism, since imposters are really lightweights.

I think it would be cool to have an option that keeps impostors enabled, even if the avatars in the instance aren't blocked. I think the effect looks neat, and it could act as some kind of high-performance mode.

Issue: Having the (relatively) newly added "VRC Impostor Environment" component on your Avatar when trying to generate an Impostor will result in the Impostor Generation to fail. Expected Behaviour: The Impostor Generation should not fail when the VRC Impostor Environment" component is added to an Avatar. It instead should change the skybox colours that are being used while generating the impostor. Attachments: The first picture shows the component added to my Avatar and the second picture shows the Impostorization failed:

Enable users to create Imposter avatars seamlessly using their own hardware through the VRChat SDK. This functionality provides a preliminary glimpse of the avatar's appearance, allowing users to refine and make adjustments before uploading to VRChat. This not only streamlines the creative process but also avoids unnecessary consumption of VRChat's server resources through repetitive regeneration and reuploads.

Take, for instance, Shade the Bat's Awtter model. The model features a sizable head and legs, but when the imposter generates, the torso appears unusually diminutive, bordering on disturbing. In actuality, the torso should maintain a substantial width rather than being unnaturally compressed.

I can't figure out what's causing it, but I have not been able to create an impostor of my avatars for a while now: (avtr_3460b0a5-b357-4fe5-a670-59c08f135083) & (avtr_aec76abc-33ec-4513-8c5e-6dd37c5ed4b4). They have started to fail impostorization after the open beta update where VRCHeadChop was introduced (1431). Before that though, I was able to create an impostor of them just fine. So far I have tried: Uploading without VRCImpostorSettings, VRCImpostorEnvironment and VRCHeadChop components. Uploading to a different Avatar ID. Removing all custom Animators, Params and Menu. Removing all particle systems. Making sure the mesh is humanoid. Creating a new project without any custom packages. Before it used to say "An unknown error occurred", but now it says "Failed to create Avatar Impostor Prefab".

For details on how I accessed the VRCImpostorSettings component, see https://feedback.vrchat.com/impostors/p/the-vrcimpostorsettings-component-is-unsearchable-and-is-missing-an-editor Avatar ID: avtr_2aba2d3f-6e5b-4c0b-89d0-46893f96758e On this avatar, I added a VRCImpostorSettings component on the Armature Game Object, and included 3 items on the Extra Child Transforms: the left and right ear, and the tail. I was hoping for a little better behavior of the ears/tail/hips by doing this. I was not expecting any sort of ear duplication. It is very possible that I'm using the component wrong here, but documentation does say that the extra child transforms are "independent of the bone that (it) is placed on". Filing as a bug because it is either a code bug or a documentation bug (i.e., the documentation needs to be clearer or provide an example)

Avatars with VRCImpostorSettings components will refuse to generate an impostor for unknown reasons.
