Basic Words You'll Often Hear in VRChat

This time, I've compiled some words that are commonly used in VRChat but might sound like 'What is that?!' to newcomers. ...However, you'll naturally learn them as you play, so there's absolutely no need to force yourself to memorize them! Don't worry! ・Collider To keep 3D models as light as possible, they are often made with a visible exterior but an empty interior. If this were the case, you'd pass right through objects, so a 'Collider' is used to prevent this. Think of it as filling the empty interior with invisible shapes. ※Some VR users refer to bumping into real-world objects as 'hitting a real-world collider' lol ・Bone In the world of 3D models, parts that sway or move have what's called a 'Bone' inside them. For example, avatar hair and skirts have bones, which you can think of as the core/joint for movement. ・Local/Global In VRChat, this refers to whether objects in a world are set to synchronize with other people in that world. Local means no synchronization (✕), so only you can see it, while Global is the opposite. ・Instance When you enter a world, you can create a new one or join someone else's. Think of it like 'creating a new thread' in a chat community. That's all for the main topic! See you again another day~
