the vrchat sdk has a lower limit on what size of avatar you're allowed to upload
it does not seem to have an upper limit
however, at 1000ft, menus are broken on desktop preventing you from swapping to any other avatar - had to map the "emergency exit" key combo ( Ctrl+\ ) on my Steam Deck
The greater than 5m limit is a suggestion, but it doesn't block uploads (if that's also the only reason why an avatar is "Very Poor", it also apparently doesn't block it for performance reasons according to here, which I was not aware of) - unlike the less than 20cm limit which will block the upload.
It's not something most people will be doing so I can understand thinking it's a hard limit - but if there was an enforced max of 5m, that would definitely have convinced some friends to look more seriously at Chillout.
as i understand it the lack of an upper limit comes from there being more of a use case for very big avatars that are things like, a carnival ride all on the avatar?
i mean, normal uses aside, of course
vrchat also specifically calls out some animations that hide stuff really far out until its needed, but having an avatar that's just a whole game of bumper cars seems fun too
