Aura Grove

pretty floaty island for parties have fun :3
It features some real cozy atmosphere in a bioluminecent forest, and a tree that turns into a stage.
Likely to be the squishyfamily’s party world for the forseeable future!

Made in collaboration with the amazing beans Bwibble and Sapphire.

Running Shows In the World

To run shows in the world you need some kind of DMX Lighting control software, and some video to run on the screens.

As long as you cover up the DMX area with something black, you can run any kind of video in the world, but I highly recommend doing re-projection on the videos to make them match the screens better.

Here is where you find the video player!

Running Videos

The UV itself (slightly transparent so you can preview visuals through them).

What it looks like in game.

If you want to play fullscreen video, here is a simple mask to cover the grid node so the lights don’t go crazy.
and here is a mask that covers everything that isn’t visuals

Here is an example of what your stream might look like in the end.

Holograms

The world also supports holograms! To learn more ask Squishy in the discord :3

Running Lights

To control the lights, you need to know what DMX is, and preferably have a dmx console of choice that can output to artnet.
You’ll also need VRSL’s artnet grid node or an alternative like the Furality Grid Node

Personally ~~I’m~~ my cat uses DMXcontrol 3 controlled by a APCmini for the DMX, and a mix of HeavyM and Milkdrop for the visuals, but there are likely better and more intuitive solutions ^^,

For programming shows the world supports MIDI DMX, so with the FNode and a midi loopback you can get 0 delay on the lights when programming! (beware that that is local only, so you can’t run shows that way, only program them!)

Custom fixture 1, The LED matrix bars hovering on stage

Address 0 (3.440): Forward/backwards adjustment 0-255
Address 1 (3.441): Down/up/tilt 0-127 controls height, from 128-255 it transitions into a tilted mode
Address 2 (3.442): Scale 0-255
Address 3 (3.443): Shape, transitions between zigzag at 0, circle at 64, default shape at 128, and giving the tree eyebrows at 255.

Adding 0 and 1 as pan and tilt makes for a fairly intuitive control of the position, and I’ve added the other 2 to beam controls so I have easy access to sliders for them

New Deer WIP

Im currently working on a new deer avatar!
My aim was to have an avatar that is a bit less cutsey than Abie, maybe a bit more goth?
Based off of a more curvy body and with more adult features.
Im still experimenting with a lot of changes, updates to come!
She currently still has my ocs fur pattern and eyes, but I’ll make a different public version when Im happy with the state she’s in! 💖 Feel free to drop fur pattern ideas in my discord!

This model will likely be female only and may be sold as a nsfw version as well for those of you who want that.
Do let me know any wishes or ideas you might have for her in my discord!

Here is some pictures of what I’ve been tinkering with so far:

SquishyFamily Party World

The SquishyFamily party world is an ongoing project with a stage and drinking games that is updated here and there when I host a party.

If you want to host in the world yourself, here is the information you’ll need!

The world has a stage with DMX driven VRSL with AcChosen’s GI addon for simulated global illumination, a room with bowling and beer pong, and 3 different custom drinking games (board game, Never Have I Ever, and a drinking questions area) made by me and my friends.

To control the lights, you need to know what DMX is, and preferably have a dmx console of choice that can output to artnet.
You’ll also need VRSL’s artnet grid node

Personally ive been using DMXcontrol 3 controlled by a APCmini for the DMX, and a mix of HeavyM and Milkdrop for the visuals, but im sure there are better and more intuitive solutions.

Video Player UV

This is the UV map for the projection mapping. The lower part is left open for a full sized horizontal VRSL DMX grid.

What parts go where

Here is what that might look like in the end

Abie

Abie is the first personal avatar project Ive decided to publish as a public model!

Ive been working on my personal avatar that also became abie for a good while, but furality gave me a great push to actually get her into a state that I like. I was really happy with how she ended up for that event though!

Here is some pictures:

Here is the getting started guide if you need it!

Getting Started.pdf Download

Changelog

Please do read the guide as you set up this outfit, it has some important steps that are not intuitive!

In general you can just import the updates on top of your existing project, just make sure you’re on the most recent vrchat API!

(I highly reccomend backuping first especially if you have many changes in your project though!)
