Sourcing World Assets

This page is mostly done, but still a work in progress.

Beware AI slop.

There’s a few creators that vibe code Udon scripts or models for storefronts and throw an awful genAI image on top of it to sell. This is gross. Don’t encourage this and avoid them

Sometimes it can be hard to find assets and models for VRChat; here’s the places I look!

🔎 Finding Prefabs

VRCPrefabs

• This used to be the collection of VRChat prefabs, but it seems to have fallen apart.
• Pretty sure it’s not being updated anymore.
• Be skeptical of Google Drive/MEGA links, obviously.
• This might be a better way to browse: https://z3y.github.io/prefabs-browser/

Jinxxy

• New kid on the block! All VRChat items!
• Creators pick how much to pay the platform.
• Prices tend to be cheaper here as Booth + Gumroad take ~30%
• Contains mature content, behind a blur.
• The top row of items on any page is always sponsored, unrelated to your search
• There is way more AI junk here than there used to be, though it seems to be coming from certain people.

Booth

• Honestly where I’ve had the most luck finding assets.
• Use the VRChat tag to avoid random vroid items tripping you up.
• Item pages tend to be in Japanese, have your Google Translate ready

Gumroad

• Not just for VRC, but the original storefront
• Gumroad has been hostile to creators in recent years though, so people tend to be leaving.
• Check Jinxxy before you buy!
• If you do need to buy from Gumroad, make sure “&recommended_by=search” isn’t in the url before purchase! While discovery is the only way to search, using it (with that in the url) takes money away from the individual creators!

GitHub

• Occasionally you’ll find more technical projects here.
• https://github.com/madjin/awesome-vrchat - Unfortunately this is pretty dated.

Unity Asset Store

• You gotta be careful here, most things here are made for the full Unity engine and won’t work with VRChat’s whitelisted world components.
• Good for if you’re having trouble finding an object or premade environment, but it can be a bit pricey.

Cosmos by Leartes Studios

• They do have some freebies, and frequent sales!
• Occasionally Humble Bundle will run bundles with enviroments
• Not everything is ready for Unity!
• Their materials use ShaderForge, for VRC Light Volumes compatibility I end up remaking the materials with Mochie’s or Poiyomi

🏪 Common World Prefabs

Video Players

• VideoTXL (VPM) - Must use if you’re planning to host events. I’ve found it a bit annoying to setup, try to consult the docs.
• VizVid (VPM) - My current favorite, though maybe a bit too modular. People kinda have trouble understanding you click the video for controls sometimes
  • https://github.com/lackofbindings/VizVidQuickInput
• USharpVideo - Hasn’t been updated for a while, used to be considered the most stable.
• ProTV - Regarded as fairly buggy, but version 3 is still in development. Doesn’t handle streamed video well.

‘Record’ Players

• Vard and Temmie - Only works with USharpVideo, everything is contained in one script component.
• UdonVR - Allows for playlists, and works on other video players! There’s a script for the ‘Record Player’ and a seperate script you put on each ‘Record’.

Decor

• Flexicurve - For building fairy lights. :)

Lighting

• https://github.com/Torvid21/LUTBeams - Volumetric Fog lights
