Submission Rules: Space Exhibition (Standard Booth)

A large number of spaces will be set up at each venue. We would like to have many gorgeous spaces lined up in a lively and fun venue.
Meanwhile, to deal with the problems inherent to large-scale worlds, we will set rules for space creation.
- To maintain a comfortable playing environment for visitors by avoiding high load on the PC
- Avoid inconsistent formats that will cause difficulties for the organizers to check and manage the data
- Avoid fatal bugs such as instance crush resulting in VRChat crash or returning to other world
Before submission, make sure to check the compliance with the submission rules. Please use the submission tool (hereinafter referred to as VketTools) provided by the organizer.
Please note that if the submitted space does not comply with the submission rules, the organizers will take measures such as resubmission request or non-placement.
Even if the space complies with the submission rules, if the space is deemed problematic such as taking up a high load, the organizers may request a resubmission.
When submitting complex gimmicks or dynamically changing spaces, we may not be able to guarantee reproduction.
In the case of spaces with a significantly small amount of information, the exhibitor may be asked to confirm after the submission period, and the space may be removed only if the confirmation cannot be obtained.

About the Vket Booth Maker

The Vket Booth Maker is a new service to create/submit your own booth on the web browser, without involving editing on Unity.
Standard Booth exhibition can be created by using this Vket Booth Maker.
For details, please refer to the following page:
Vket Booth Maker Official Website

A. Space creation system regulations

Create space exhibition using Unity editor Ver2022.3.6f1.
Create the exhibition Project using the VRChatCreatorCompanion (VCC).
- Project template must be selected to Unity2022WorldProject.
Use the latest version of VRCSDK and Udon at the time of submission.
Use VketTools for submission.
All assets used in the space should be placed under the exhibitor ID folder (e.g. 184) created directly under the Assets folder by VketTools.
Create the space on the exhibitor ID scene found in the above folder.

B. File & Folder regulations

Only half-width alphanumeric characters,-(hyphen), _ (underscore), (half-width space), .(Dot), and () (parentheses) can be used for file & folder names.
All files included in the Project should follow the above rule.
All file paths should fit within 184 characters under "Assets /" in Unity.
The mesh should be in such a format that can be used in Unity by default, such as ".fbx".
- ".blend" files cannot be read by default.
- Be sure to extract the Textures and Materials of the mesh.
Total file size capacity under the submission folder must be within 100.00MB

C.Scene hierarchy structure regulations

All objects included in the space should be arranged and set according to the following regulations.
- Every object should be children of the exhibitor ID object.
- Objects should be placed under the objects named Static and Dynamic, which are the children of the aforementioned parent object.
- Object Tag must not be EditorOnly.

Static object

Objects with the below property should be placed under the "Static" object. Fixed object with unchanging mesh
All objects inside the "Static" object should have the Static settings defined below.

Static setting	Regulation
Contribute GI	Unrestricted. The layer should be sent to Environment when Contribute GI is Enabled.

D. Space regulations

Your space must be contained within the boundary of 4m wide x 4m deep x 5m high
± 2m in the XZ direction and 5m in the Y direction with respect to the origin
Z axis + direction (the direction of the blue arrow in Unity) is the front

dynamic

No limit on the number of textures
- However, atlasing (texture integration) is strongly recommended.
- One large size (4k) sheet is preferable to multiple small size (1k-2k) sheets.
AssetBundle build size within 10.00MB
- This is the file size when building the space with only VRC_World in place
SetPassCalls and Batches should be lower than the following values to reduce the drawing load.
- Run-time SetPassCalls reference value 20
- Run-time Batches estimated reference value 30
The total size of lightmap images should not exceed 512x512 (Total 262,144 pixels)
Among the objects with ContributeGI checked (except those with ScalesInLightmap value of 0), those with overlapping lightmaps are recommended to be fixed.
Upon placement, the space may be rotated on the Y-axis.
Upon placement, the coordinates will be different from the origin.

E. Shader regulations

The shaders listed below will be distributed by the Vket staff along with VketTools.
- Manmaru Sheda MnMrShader3_1_2
- Unity-chan Toon Shader 2.0.9
- UnlitWF_20240212_01_Core_2019

If you use the above shader with a different version or a modified script, be sure to use a duplicate and include it in the submission folder.
When you want to include and use shaders other than those listed above, please follow the below restrictions.
- Global keywords like (shader_feature, multi_compile) cannot be used. Please use local keywords like (shader_feature_local, multi_compile_local) instead.
- Shaders with _CameraDepthTexture cannot be used to avoid issues of VR camera display.
  - Scripts inside the Editor folder should not be put inside the submission folder.
  - When using the Poiyomi Shader, Lock the shader and submit the generated shader file only.
  - The name of the shader should not be identical to any of the built-in shaders of Unity.
When using Stencil, keep the number of Stencil buffer to be not more than 200.
