The pros'/cons of learning to rip avatars

orggybun

i was wondering if somebody could give me a link to a video or tell me how to fix/rip avatars

as well as what bad could happen if i mess up or what i should do right so i won't mess up

because i already know about the pro's of ripping you get the avatar you want

but i was wondering about more of the cons

if you could help me that would be nice

and if i do figure it out how to rip avatars i will do it for free!

I don't know of a video I could link here, But as far as the cons of Ripping, In general:
If you rip a well-known avatar (Or an avatar from a well-known Creator) You're very very very likely to be found out, And either banned or at the very least, shunned from a lot of spaces that are against ripping (So, most places I assume.)

Personally, Another con of Ripping: you're kind of just robbing yourself of the experience/knowledge of avatar creation. But that's my personal opinion, And if you're not interested in avatar creation in the slightest, You can just disregard that.

Another con; If I remember correctly, Ripping can be rather tricky, Especially now that we can't have mods. I could be wrong, I haven't personally tried ripping in YEARS, And when I did, It was only 2 or 3 avatars for other people.

VRChat can catch onto these things relatively quickly and easily now, I believe. So if you really want to rip avatars, Be wary of that. EAC (VRChat's Anti-cheat system), Aswell as most Anti-Cheat Systems, Install spyware onto your computer and I'm not sure if that has anything to do with how they catch rippers.

I hope this was atleast a little bit helpful, If not, I apologize. Have a very very wonderful day

@mom i know how to avatar make avatars i just wanna rip so i can take models i like and recolor them and add on to them because there is some models that i just can't find on gumroad and that arent on vrc models or ripper store as of now

and all the people i know say they use arc and i tired using it but it won't even let me search up the avatars

i really don't want to file rip because yes i can make my own avatars

I just wanna file rip because i don't know blender/can't find the assets i want

and i only wanna file rip like 4 avatars for there models not for what it has on it
