LF: CYANT by Torinyan (and additional assets)@godamongdogs Ah, sorry if that was the case.

LF: CYANT by Torinyan (and additional assets)@C0-Eve Don't worry I still intend to buy Cyant eventually, just not right now especially with christmas and new year's around the corner since I got to buy gifts for relatives. Either next month or whenever there's a slow period of new models coming out is when I'll do it.
Do try to arrange some sort of agreement with those outfit creators though, if you can. Gaining aftermarket support from the popular outfit creators of Booth will likely mean more sales for Cyant.

Instead of complaing like little kids about a small 60 bucks, if that is not small for you. go get a JOB
Someone seem to have overlooked the part where I mentioned the number of avatars I've purchased throughout the year, including some of Tori's. That would be nearly impossible to do without a job, so how do you think I am able to buy them in the first place?
Most of those avatars I'll probably end up never uploading to vrchat, since I bought them mainly for collection purposes or later use (since stuff tends to get delisted every now and then, sometimes without warning) and supporting the new and smaller creators.SO AT LEAST SUPPORT THEM
Already have, for their previous works. The money that could be used to support them by buying Cyant would be better used to support 2 or 3 smaller creators though. All I want was for them to try to be a little more reasonable with their pricing, considering the other original avatars they're competing with for sales (a number of which I have already bought).
Since you want to try to get high and mighty with us about supporting Tori, how many avatars, outfits, and other assets have you bought this year that aren't gumroad kitbashes? How many creators have you supported? Does it outweight the number of assets you downloaded from here?

You guys need to understand that you don't need to buy my add-ons to customize Runa, a lot of people make their own stuff or just put something together with a random assortment of assets.
But not everyone is skilled at Blender or wants to go through the hassle or modifying incompatible assets to get them to fit.
Another issue I saw from people here is that If I make legs now an sell them for 15$, people will think it's fine. However, if I make 10 legs and sell each for 15$ then those same people will go "What, 150$ worth of addons?" Just makes no sense to me, sorry.
Take a page from the Booth outfit creators' book on this, and sell a full pack bundle of those 10 pairs of legs for a small discount, like $100. Still a bit much, but it makes it a better deal for anyone actually planning to buy all 10 (or at least 7 of them) in the first place.
To give 0 value to optimization here and say "it's your choice is a creator" is also nonsense. Yeah no shit that it's my choice but that's not a "you didn't need to do this" thing. I want to release quality stuff, simple as that. A lot of my community members DO care for it, they're very hands-on with customizing my Avis and the optimization is a big selling point for them.
I've been playing vrchat for almost half a decade now, and the only people I've really seen to care about optimization in vrchat are those in the club scene, mainly the hypocritical western club event organizers and their "staff". The majority of the japanese club scene don't give a damn about your avatar's performance rank or optimization, as long as you don't be a nuisance by using oversized avatars/screen-hijacking shaders/loud audio/excessive particles/etc.
Also, I'm not saying that you wasted time optimizing your products, but in the end if someone decided to buy an avatar that an author spent time to get to medium performance rank and then decide to add 40-something outfits with various toggles and shaders to create some lag-inducing abomination (like one of those chinese public Maya avatars), then the end user is at fault for the poor optimization, not the author selling the base model.
So I wouldn't really worry about it if I were you, unless you really want to make your avatars more acceptable for the organized western events.You don't need to be my customer for me to care about your opinion, if you feel like 60$ is too much for example then that's already valuable feedback for me to collect. In hindsight maybe I should have made her 50$ again and tried to get a higher sales number instead of more from each sale. I think what I will do is release her on Boosty later down the line and make her like 40$ there (cause we get a better cut from Boosty).
Runa is definitely one of the more popular models (if not the most) on Booth at the moment that isn't made by an asian author, but her price and lack of aftermarket support from asian creators may have prevented her from reaching the front page on the 3D Characters section when sorted by popularity (she is on page 3 last I checked)
Take a look at the most popular Booth models on the first page, and you'll see that over half of them are in that range of 5000-5500 yen (or anywhere between 35 to 40 dollars). Only around 15 of the 60 avatars on the first page dare to go higher than that.
It also might be worth taking note that some of those avatars that have reached front page have been on Booth for a much shorter time than Runa (Manuka has only been out for a little over 3 months and she's on the top fucking row, Lime has been out for a little over 5 months, Deltaflare has been out for almost 5 months, Lasyusha has been out for a little over 6 months, and Fiona has been out for over 9 months).For Cyant (and maybe Runa), would you consider possibly reaching out to some of those outfit creators, like the ones that specialize in techwear and sci-fi themed outfits, to try convincing them to include her in their lists of supported avatars?
If you guys got suggestions for the laser turret, it would be greatly appreciated. I don't really want to make it fire and idk if it tracking your head would rotation/movement would just make it clip with yourself ...
You know of that "x-ray" flashlight prefab that shows the wireframes of any object that its light touches? Maybe you could do something like that with the turret, since Cyant's theme is supposedly that of a hunter.

Are you expecting free work or something? Sorry, for not selling 30 kitbashed Avatars.
The original Avatar is good, it's being sold, then we work on an attachment. Of course we expect to get paid for the newly made thing.
If we sell 3000 attachment for Runa, then of course the full thing will be expensive af but it also means we made 3000 new things LOL.What kind of logic is this supposed to be? Robo GF Add-On was also 2 Sets of booba, a pussy-plate, a dick and an interior animated pump.
I also put a lot of value into making sure that the released Avatars don't drop your friends FPS by 30 for just existing. Okay, optimization is not a cool funny feature to use, but it's pretty damn important and makes the creation process really hard and lengthy sometimes.Cyant01 for example is 64k Poly, sorry but I'm really proud of that fact. Making completely new legs will be the work of 30-40% of making an Avatar from scratch again, how would you price that for example?
You've really dropped the ball with that response.
No, I'm not asking you to release free addons. As a matter of fact, I've purchased several of your avatars (including Runa) and accessories along with several accessories made by others.
HOWEVER...there is a limit on how much I'm willing to spend for a single avatar/accessory, Runa and especially the accessories available to her have been hitting those limits more often than most other base models and their accessories. As a result, customizing Runa gets more expensive than most avatars and their respective accessories that I tend to buy from...BOOTH.
Not the Gumroad kitbash trash that you seem to be referring to.
And I've decided to be more supportive and bought a lot of avatars this year (nearly 40 throughout 2023, last I checked), along with accessories and additional outfits for some of them.
I was thinking about actually buying Cyant this month, but this...
Are you expecting free work or something? Sorry, for not selling 30 kitbashed Avatars.
I may have to reconsider after that.
But if you want a suggestion for the price of those legs, I'd say no more than half of Cyant's base price.
Honestly, you and Tori could've sold Runa with the robogf upgrade built-in as an entirely separate NSFW version for a bit more than the default Runa, let the customer decide on which version to buy, and that would've been more acceptable (as long as it's not nearly double or triple the price of the SFW version). Several creators on Booth have already been doing that for ages, and it works for them.
Bonus points if you'd have made the SFW B0-0BA upgrade a part of the default Runa in the beginning and add $10 to the base price to compensate.

LF: CYANT by Torinyan (and additional assets)Are we going to see accessories that cost nearly as much as the avatar itself again, as was the case with Runa's robogf addon?
