Test Converted Avatar

Now your avatar is cross-platform, but it may not be perfect. Let's test.

Test Android Avatars in PC

For complete testing, you need standalone VR device (Quest or PICO). Even if you have devices, it would be hard because you need to go back and forth between PC and standalone VR. In most cases you can test Android avatars in PC because they use limited shaders and components which are fully supported in PC platform.

In VRCSDK3, there is a feature called Local Avatar Testing. It allows you to test avatars in PC without uploading. By using local testing, you can quickly test Android avatars in PC.

Build Offline Avatars

To build offline testing avatars, follow the steps below.

1. Select File > Build Settings from the menu bar.
2. Select PC, Mac & Linux Standalone from the platform list.
3. Click Switch Platform.
4. Select VRChat SDK > Show Control Panel from the menu bar.
5. Select Builder tab.
6. Select an avatar to test.

After building, you can test the avatar in PC.

1. Launch VRChat in PC.
