Prerequisites

​
Unity

To ensure compatibility, it is recommended to download and install Unity 2022.3.22f1, which can be obtained from the official Unity website. This version aligns with the one used by VRChat. Important: VRChat requires Unity 2022 for its latest SDK. Users still utilizing Unity 2019 are strongly advised to upgrade, as future SDK updates will not be accessible on outdated versions. Additionally, content created in older versions may experience compatibility issues.

​
VRchat Creator Companion

The VRChat Creator Companion is required for setting up VRChat projects. Please refer to the official VRChat documentation for installation instructions.

Check the details of the product you want to register for auto-upload, then click “Get Started”. Once you reach this screen, open the dropdown menu and select the avatar you want to register from the avatars in your scene. (If it’s a cross-platform avatar, please select the Windows avatar first.)
The avatar must be in the scene. If there is no avatar in the scene, it will not appear in the dropdown. Also, please note that if the avatar in your scene does not have the VRChat Avatar Descriptor attached, it will not show up in the dropdown.
Click “Select this avatar” and proceed to the next step Click “Start build”. The build will begin and the auto-uploader registration process will start. Wait for the upload to complete. Once the upload is complete, you’ll see this screen. When a ”✓” appears next to your uploaded file format, this product is ready for the auto-uploader. (This may take a few minutes after the upload process finishes.) And that’s it. Your avatar is ready for the users!
