To spice up the point of VRChat (getting online in VR and hanging out with friends infront of a mirror for hours on end), a new 4-day event has come to the game; called ‘Virtual Market 3’. I can safely assume the ‘3’ means this is the 3rd year for the event since VRChat’s launch.
\nThe event takes place within fifteen (15) worlds (accessible via a new ‘Virtual Market 3’ tab in the Worlds menu)- each world having its own theme. But the point of these worlds isn’t to look pretty, but to give recognition to the highly talented modelers in Japan (which is why there’s a LOT of Japanese-themed displays everywhere). And these modelers want nothing more than to make a living what they love doing.
\nNow you may be curious why it’s called a ‘Virtual Market’, and if this means if you use virtual currency to pay for a model. Well, you can try out a model. And if you like it, there’s usually a QR Code at the booth that can be scanned with your phone (after taking your screenshot of course) where you can purchase it for RL money. You get the model, and you support the creator. It’s a win-win.
\nPrices (from what I’ve seen) range of $1.00 (100 Yen) for accessories like guns and glasses for your avatar or worlds (or maybe even a FREE download depending on what is offered).. and up to $40 (over 4000 Yen) for fully rigged and animated humanoid models to be your personal avatar. In my opinion, these are very reasonable prices. But, I have made a promise never to pay for any asset to be used in Unity.
\nIf you don’t have a smart phone that can scan QR Codes (and still want the item), you can go to the person’s Discord server for other ways to purchase (and\/or download for free if the item is listed as free).
\n–
\nJust note that throughout this event, purchasing items is NOT a requirement to visit the worlds. So even if you’re short on cash, you can show the booth to a friend (or their friends) for them<\/em> to get it.<\/p>\n

Here’s a small preview of just some of the things you can find here in the Virtual Market;

..This thing, I really<\/strong> want.

\n..LOOK AT THE KID!! IT’S SO ADORABLE!!! \ud83d\ude0d
\nErm, anyway. There you go. Now get to the Virtual Market either alone or bring your friends while you can, because the event ends on the 26th. And I still haven’t seen everything this event has to offer… it’s HUGE!<\/p>\n

.
\nOh, and before I forget, the event has an official sponsor: 7-Eleven<\/a>. You will find one of their stores in every world of Virtual Market 3, so be sure to do your (virtual) shopping there.
\nHah, I made an intentional pun.<\/p>\n

EDIT: It’s the 26th, and no official announcement of the event going to end has been said. Others say it won’t end ’till October, so you folks still have plenty of time to check it out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
