# Avatar Interop 8-23-22

- new time, jin likes new time to accomodate peeps
- just a couple show and tells
- jin wants to get updates on hyperfy from ash with vrm updates
- jin and boombox gonna jump into vrc for part 2

## ash screenshare
- ash doesn't have anything planned but can bring something up
- jin recording

### vrm shipping to hyperfy
- last phase of getting vrm's ready for hyperfy
- showing vrm floating
- tracking not perfect but improving
- figuring out vismemes and shapekeys
- philbert: talked about uplaoding recently. talk about best way to do that
- ash trying to follow vrc's footsteps
- thinks vrc upload has good system
- hyperfy runs on mobile and standalone quest = issue of performance. on the web as well
- vrc has this thing -- quest will give avatar ranks or scores. each user has ability to choose what they want to show.
- vrc basically defines specs you have to adhere to
- ash will implement similar system. by default can see up to medium -- can change this to show all avatars
- need to do some stress testing to see what's good
- philbert: vroid expxorts 8k textures. can get it down to 2k. how big of difference? ash says huge difference

### jin: other show and tells?
- moon? randomizer?
- would like to show, not in great space to show right now. can show screenshot
- has a thing
- would be nice to have gltf transformer thing
- moon asking what weba teams wants
- main focus on textures and models
- user to drag and drop -- process, atlas down to 1 texture. all models gets down into single mesh
- transparency as a separate layer. 1 or 2 draw calls
- jin: drag and drop tools for optimizing is a game changer
- all pieces of this are open source
- ash: optimizing vrm manually. certain parts of texture you want more high quality. what solutions do we have for accounting for this
- moon: working on a 10k series. doing an importance type of thing to make certain things larger than others in math. its not UGC -- know pieces, setting parameters as json. for UGC, that wll be harder.
- create bounding box around object and use that as weight for uv
