It just amazes me that these people have near unlimited resources and they have no idea how to utilize them properly. Hire actually talented people with a plan and Metaverse could be frigging spectacular someday, but they have clueless money types running things and it shows. Idk why anyone would have hope in whatever AI applications they're working on either.

its suprising to see how many games and mechanics and all kinds of things relating to games and devices have managed to hold up to this day and outcompete things from today. black ops 2 still looks far better than some modern triple A title games these days, smooth mechanics were sometimes better back then in games compared to now and some features in those games sometimes are still being reused to this day or being implimented in similar ways.

Second Life was made in 2003. As someone who's played it, they have somehow managed to make something that looks worse than even the earliest days of Second Life. I'm genuinely speechless.
Truth. As my Secondlife avatar was the winner of best Male model for Best of Secondlife back in the mid 2000s, (Jonny Tobias) these videos are appalling compared to the stuff I could login and show you from my inventory from 15 years ago. And believe me, I knew many people who pretty much lived on SL (I even did so myself for an entire year as I was getting paid to play as a model, event co-ordinator, Director all of which were effectively marketing roles) and the people spent a lot of money in the ecosystem to look good and show off or for using in game imagery as a basis for digital art. But the Metaverse by comparison looks like the first generation Wii avatars.
@@ByteByteMause Yeah I think I played it around 2007-2008 and some of 2009. Logging into hundreds of private messages every day to where communicating on there required skype so I could get work done on there was pretty crazy, and the “e-fame” I had on there taught Me many lessons, one of which was that the designers on there were some of the hardest working people I have ever met given they had to deal with as many messages as I received of appreciation, item delivery failures, refunds, and all while most held down real jobs in their first lives. The greatest lesson I took beyond My days there was the value of the real world and nature given as much fun as I had sitting on a screen for 18 hours a day, getting back to reality, earning real money and meeting actual people was infinitely more satisfying.
@@something7239 Whilst this may be true, it kept Me employed and engaged in the game as people paid Me Lindens to take them shopping and give them a taste of My own style along with sharing jokes and laughter. It was a good time, yet looking back, such realities made Me the equivalent of the modern V tuber whereby My personality alone was sufficient to find Me famous on there. Beyond the fashion though, the RP sims were also some of the most creative places on there beyond the massive sprawling Best of SL creations that Frolic Mills and Co used to come up with. All this talk and remembering is making Me consider logging in again but I have no idea what sims I would visit other than Straylight as I knew the couple who owned & built that sim.
@@ByteByteMause I would believe it about those events being full, as I mentioned above, I remember the 4sim events I even had trouble getting to as they were run in the early am hours due to My timezone of Australia seeing Me become a vampire of sorts to mix and work with the Europeans and Americans in that scene. Again fun times and I’m glad to see it hasn’t died and if I was to log on to it, My fashion sense will be timelessly frozen with that pre-social media version of Me I crafted in that world.
Yes! I also like the idea of people making clothes irl and then recreating them online - have a standard version then an upgraded version with all the cool digital bells and whistles which may not be possible irl.
imo they probably tried to buy it (like with everything else) but were met with a brick wall. They did give it a shoutout at their last conference at least.
A fashion show in the metaverse is one of the funniest things I've ever heard. The metaverse always seems to surprise me ever time they attempt something
because, what good is a soul for a corparation, if not to hinder it with its morality and creativity? why risk lossing pennies by making something original, when you can just reanimate the same idea for 5 bucks?
wow the metaverse already reached graphics from the year 2000, pretty impressive, give them another 20 years and it might look like todays mobile games.
I wouldn't call it call a fashion show exactly, but, from my understanding, V-Ket (I think it stands for Virtual Market) is something that happens a few times a year where some companies promote their shit. Most of the time it's just to get you interested in a product, but some vendors are like such as those making comics to sell their stuff. Regardless, some people on VRChat commission avatars and shit, with the difference being that there's actually a significant amount of people you can show your avatar off to, unlike the metaverse.
I always thought fashion shows were just like art galleries but for models and clothes. I cannot EVER imagine someone legitimately buying and wearing a fashion show outfit.
That's exactly what they are, just showing what people can create simply for the sake of it. I would shoot for high fashion that can actually be utilized but hey, guess that's why I'm just not an fashion show designer.
@@Remedy462 If those "designers" would actually make clothing instead of freaky costumes for a one-time showoff, there wouldn´t be such things as duct taping a small person upside-down to your front pretending to be a wear lmao. It´s the same as high-class art, where an apple is nailed to a wooden plate and it´s super-deep somehow, worth millions. The people acting as if it made sense are the same art snobs that think they found a deep understanding of the world and the human psyche, but they really are just pretentiously stroking each other´s egos desperately trying to justify their elevated position in a personal manner, not a purely materialistic one. In short, they want to feel special, like everyone else, but since they are rich they want to feel even more special.

It's also a bit eerie to me. Can't pinpoint them but I swear, Meta has been praised as some kind of viable idea of somewhere to go should the planet be more inhabitable, which makes my conspiracy brain itch
As an artist that uses virtual reality, I hate that facebook tried to monopolize the VR industry and then ran it to the ground. Virtual Reality is a really fun medium for a lot of different things like games, graphic novels, and all kinds of interesting experiences. It's a shame that Zucc dragged it through the mud so investors learned not to trust it. There's still a lot of hope for VR though since it still has a pretty loyal community.
Metaverse to VR is like NFTs (and crypto to an extent) to blockchain. Makes the tech look stupid despite being super cool and possibly useful in some cases.
In a way, it is not really a shame at all. Try to remember what corporations did to the internet once they saw it was an actual thing, the same people who once said it would never take off are the ones now to push censorship and dumping it down, filling it with ads. RUclips is being turned into the new cable tv. And a more modern example is what corps are doing to A.I. So in a way, investors not being able to put their greasy, shit stained fingers on such an useful tech, at least for some time, is actually a good thing. Enjoy it while it is not mainstream.
Unfortunately after all these years VR is still in its “tech demo” phase. The only big releases are mods, fan projects, and indie things, everything else is just a new flavor of tech demo.
I've been making an extra 100 a week by walking into high-end fashion shops, taking photos of the products, then 3D modeling them and selling them for VRChat users. Thanks fashion week. Very meta.
As someone who has done (education) research in Second Life since '2008, I can honestly say that fashion shows looked better there in 2008 than whatever the heck this is.

A pet peeve of mine I have with corps, is that they see us using phones and computers to interact a lot more back then. Then they completely splooge into that and nothing else, then go bankrupt and destroy themselves. Like, we still live in real life. We can't go to E-McDonalds and eat an E-Burger.

As a ln intermediate level 3D artist it blows my mind to see that designers not being able to find a hire competent artists. Anybody who makes clothing *digitally knows about Marvelous designer and how easy its systems are and how simple it is to create realistic clothing using the same methodology that a seamstress would
my guess is the whole thing is being funded and organised by finance bros who try to undercut the artists and designers at every turn. actual skilled workers don't want within a ten foot pole of this house fire
It does have to run on the quest which uses an outdated phone processor to run. But still, you see games like beatsaber, superhot and bonelab run at high fidelity and sespect they can do more, especially when comparing $13.7 BILLION dollars (compared to VR chat's 15 million), something is really going wrong behind the scenes.
i work at one of these companies and trust me bro as a 3D artist we beg them for any basic support. also marvelous is awesome for the basic static model but it's still relatively complex to implement with bones and dynamics that run in an eng like this
This isn’t facebooks metaverse, it’s an even shittier one called decentraland. Judging by the name I’m sure you can tell the type of people running it.
This genuinely reminds me of a ds game i played where you had to make your own outfits and then model them and "compete" against npcs on stage. I for the life of me cannot remember the name of it. It was something design studio. The graphics of metaverse are literally DSI 2009.

I love how this came out and Thrill started organizing a free community fashion show in VRChat with WAY better quality content and has WAY more hype behind it
It looks like something my year one students would make as their first VR project. They'd get a decent pass for it, but if they submitted it as their end of course project after 4 years, I'd feel like I'd let them down hard and they probably deserved a refund.
The funny thing is... there are amazing communities like this in VRChat. People create insanely detailed clothing and inspire each other's designs. VR social events exist, and I do think VR socializing will get more popular with time. The reason things like the "metaverse" don't work is because its just big corporations trying to sell a sandbox to the masses. People who care about VR technology and communities can access them for free and contribute in a meaningful way. And people who don't care won't be swayed by these big cooperate cash grabs. The value comes from the COMMUNITY, and that's a product no company can ever manufacture.
It's truly bizarre how it works. I've been part of some amazing productions for VR shortfilms (Tales of Soda Island is a great one I'd recommend if you bother wanting to check any of them out) and nobody knows about them. Like I don't want to sound like I'm tooting my own horn by discussing stuff I've been a part of, because the other productions I haven't are absolutely worth checking out, but Meta does nothing to promote them despite funding them. The Metaverse just had no direction. It never knew who it wanted to appease and tried to do too much too quickly by doing.. nothing? There was no foresight or any tangible ideas. The Quest Pro, the headset that was made to be used for 8 hours a day for business purposes, is something nobody I know actually enjoyed or were even contacted about to discuss what we would want to use it for. I know a lot of people love to laugh at the fuming graveyard that is the Metaverse, but it's truly sad seeing glimpses of some of the incredible innovations of what could have and what it became.
It's so funny to me that Second Life is a regular MMO but when you put what's basically a watered down version of it in VR it's suddenly the "metaverse"
@@Nekotaku_TV No I don't know where it was but the odels and textures were garbage. Just straight garbage. That's what Pixar had when their head invented 3D systems back in the 80's
I remember talking to Meta employees at a job fair and they just were repetitively hyping up the metaverse after it had already lost 2 billion dollars, talking about the "breathtaking avatar creation" it has.
Lmao "breathtaking avatar creation," maybe it's breathtaking to someone who just woke up from a 50 year coma and has never seen a computer before, let alone a videogame
Not to mention they had millions of people who bought a Quest 1 just for it and then after months said "btw the quest 1 will lose all support, buy our new headset dummies" and millions listened to them 💀 VR isnt for intelligent gamers
this remind me of back when I played Gaia online and there were avatar competitions. only it Was actually fun and creative but essentially nft's to show off the rare clothing items you owned
Even when the Metaverse was costing Meta billions of dollars, the company as a whole still made billions (plural) in profit from other sources. They can literally afford a disaster on this scale.
Facebook is still doing fine (for the most part) as it's still popular in some countries and I guess instagram is too, which is why their stocks are still rising even with this retarded ass push for the metaverse.
It was such a relief to see the metaverse fail into irrelevancy stright away. VR is an amazing tech especially for those like me that do racing and flight simulations, but then Zuckemberg came in and decided this was gonna be yet another tool for him to purge any good in anything he touches and bring in more ways for him to make money.
The Sims 2 and their Expansion Packs in around 2005 to 2009 had better fashion items and your sims looked great. My kids and I used play it. S2 was superior to the later S3 & S4. We designed our own sim clothes, makeup, skintones and hairstyles. We also downloaded tons of clothes from any of the hundreds of free Sims 2 sites. When Mark Zuckerberg introduced Metaverse, I wondered had been a Sims 1 & 2 addict and wanted to create his own version, but online with other players.
Charlie, ‘haute couture’ is not a brand, it’s the term used to describe custom-made clothes by any fancy fashion company. And you did ok pronouncing it haha. The fact that anyone thinks animating a little dress in the metaverse is anything like what the craftspeople that make stuff like that IRL do is crazy. Of course digital art and animation are still arts but there’s a huge difference

At $10 Billion, they could have rebooted Star Wars Galaxies, and World of Warcraft, made an entirely new streamlined fashionable armor sets / clothing, then literally spent all the excess money innovating to make the worlds more elaborate, detailed, and hosted monthly fashion shows inside those games, while hosting massive events for gamers to actually Cosplay their bizarre fashion ideas non-ironically.

I feel like VrChat is the closest actual thing you can get to right now to what I think Zuck wants the metaverse to be like... but instead of everyone having the same customizable avatars and outfits, you can upload your own or even buy from gumroad, or even get them custom made for a fraction of what some of those high end clothing items would cost irl.
Ah but see you that's only possible because the aspect of user expression is not directly monetized by he developers. If the developers were selling "Kermit with katanga and a blunt" avatar or avatars with "visible female presenting nipples" they'd be facing a whole hell of a lot of lawsuits and restrictions, but because it's users doing it instead the developers are free to do their thing without worry.
@Flare VR isn't intensive because of just "more pixels", it's intensive because it's a generation of any given scene _twice_ from slightly different perspectives and also at way higher refresh rates than traditional displays require (since low refresh rates correspond to greater degree of simulated motion sickness). In fact modern VR headset displays are usually built on smartphone screen technology, which isn't all that intensive in of itself. And I don't think it's an engine limitation, Escape From Tarkov is built in Unity and can handle realistic humans just fine, even better than Second Life can in my opinion. Which shouldn't be too surprising, SL is built off of 20 year old tech that has been slowly been getting touch ups that don't necessarily reflect modern lighting and rendering standards (like subsurface scattering for skin). I was being pithy with my previous response, VRChat's initial player base came from different groups which included channers (users lf image boards like 4chan) which infamously have a fascination with anime and fans of another online community that had a preexisting shared model set that used the same file type. However the popularity of anime girl avatars persisted because of the large adoptation by the online trans community.

I'm studying fashion and this actually pains me knowing how intricate and interesting fashion can actually be and this just further ruins the name of fashion to people who already don't see it as a proper form of art
Honestly I would probably be more interested in fashion if it wasn't so infested with ugly European elitism, especially the damn French. I'll stick to my ghetto ass Drip or Drown conventions thank you very much 😤
No offense but I mostly just see modern fashion as ether "yay, these clothes look good together" or "I AM NOW A POINTY BAG!!!". I known this probably isn't what you mean, but I just wanted to share. Good for you though.
omg it pained me when charlie thought haute couture was a brand lord T.T ppl will dismiss fashion as soon as its not "wearable" in every day life. art with fabric put on someone's body is such a cool concept idk how ppl cant see that. haute couture was never made for wearing
I remember seeing a "chat room" in Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex where it was sort of like a drop in-drop out talk show, where everyone was unique looking and just kind of chilling but having actual deep conversation. That was what I expected with a VR space, and where I still hope to see it go eventually.
@Kiki Atmosudirdjo My wife is doing that right now on Second Life. No VR headset is required, so it's far more accesible to anyone with a PC. Anyone can even make their own outfits and sell them, too.
@@anthonymerchant2597 You can use vrchat without a headset too! It loses a touch of its charm as it basically becomes just a first person 3d chat room but it's still more than usable.
Part of fashion week is to show off not just the designers talent but the talents of all those who worked to make the clothes. Models as well are apart of it as well as crew.
Well, all those people need to be payed. If it doesn't exist in physical space then you don't need to pay those people. That's a big reason any of this ever happened
Wow, so cutting edge that I can see the jagged edges of the curves on the model. It's is incredible to see how far technology has progressed. I'm glad they payed homage to the first Playstation with their rendering techniques. :^) 10:52 So let me get this straight, the guy is trying to argue that people can buy these outfits in the metaverse when they usually can't afford them IRL, but the metaverse (atleast Zuck's Metaverse) has a fixed entry cost of, off the top of my head (could be wrong), over $100 dollars. Who is going to go out of their way to buy this? The whole point of "high fashion" is that it's overpriced as hell and the rich buy them, then the media laud over them. It is completely antithesis to the idea of "high fashion". It makes it no different than a t-shirt you buy from Walmart (or any other store). I am no enjoyer of "high fashion" or buying of overpriced clothing, but even I understand this.
this graphics and quality of their "meta reality" reminds me of 2004-2007 3d mmorpg. Like wow... the lag, crispiness of the graphics, and the really awkward animation made me tear up. I never knew meta finally broke through 3d games recently now in the year 2007 -internet explorer v1
Bro I was already cracking up but the 3rd model in the yellow dress killed me with that jump emote 😂 This is like the same quality as those 3d mmo games in the 2000s where you just have little characters run around in dumb outfits
Exactly, it looks like a game clip straight out of the '00s instead of this "high fashion" hullabaloo that they pretend it to be. Even the announcer sounds like she's straight out of '00s British documentary. Also what's up with the potato quality lol was that an aesthetic choice or was it from their shoe string budget.
The silliest thing too is that it’s literally fake fashion… you can go absolutely WILD with what you present, but they still show the most basic fashion
this brings me back to like 2013 or around that time, i was 11-12 and asked my dad to buy a t-shirt and i spent $10 on an xbox 360 avatar with a creeper face on it, after a while he asked me where the shirt is and i showed him the screen, his face said it all
This happens because they categorically refuse to hire game developers for Meta and refuse to develop it like a game. So you have people used to developing for the UI and Javascript nightmare that is Facebook developing what is essentially VRChat, but without any of the typical game development environment, including apparently hacking together their own engine.
The metaverse those companies try to push out, is surprisingly mundane. Like, we have games out there that do reality bending things, meanwhile the "future of gaming and social interaction" is like "uh, some avatars walking and emoting in a shj/tty game"
I know right? There are so many video game "Online Spaces" right now... From simple MMOs like Everquest, RuneScape, then some simulators like Second Life, heck, Even Minecraft used to have multiplayer hubs (like Mineplex, that I remember the most) What is the Metaverse other than a glorified video game?
I've noticed tech companies always try to make crypto shit look hip. Like that "I just bought more land in the metaverse" ad, or Dogecoin, or that Eminem & Snoop Dog music video for monkey pictures. It always fails spectacularly.
I don't give a shit about fashion but even I know it's a style lol. I respect it though because the man literally only wears white tee shirts and shorts lmao
Dude wears white shirts...black if he feels extra...the fk do u expect from him? Charles looks and acts like a hobo who round a bag full of cash and spent it on Yu-Gi-Oh and Pokemon cards.
As someone who lives and breathes avant-garde fashion, the largest aspect to me and a lot of others is the craft. The price and the reasoning behind aspects of a piece all fit into the craft and care put in. To see people try to pull off this and create fashion in this manor only screams “I WANT MONEY”. This of course circles back and devalues the fashion even further. To say the least it’s soulless.
Thank youuuu 😔 everyone in the comments attacking fashion instead of seeing this meta bs for what it really is- some crypto bro, who still wears their mommy’s hand picked Ross outfit from ten years ago, trying to figure out what “rich people waste their money on” and landing on “fashion”, since “art” has already been done. They expected the same, low-effort garbage that NFT’s were to cross over to fashion because at the end of the day, they still see it as “stuff”.
i have even seen digital fashion artists create things that shows their artistic skills and break the bounds of physics so it makes sense. needless to say, what the hell is this shit
oh dang, I thought that crap was bad, and stupid, but apparently it’s good. guess I was wrong; I thought that crap was dumb, and bad, but turns out it’s actually good.
I love how old investors think they’re smart by investing in garbage, literally just give every company ONE YOUNG PERSON to tell them “literally nobody uses this shit lmao”
I'm not so sure. Whenever I see a long dress in VRChat, there's no collision on it even if the physics are turned on. so their legs keep clipping through the dress. That's why so many avatars' outfits are skin-tight. There's probably a way to do it right; avatars have a lot of capabilities, but most don't bother.
@@nickbensema3045 There are collision scripts to add to the model, to make them work with anything that has a physics script on it. A lot of people just don't know how to use them, know they even exist, or don't care. Same with rotation constraints/twist bones so your elbows and wrists don't implode when you twist them. Cloth physic shaders exist too, but they're very performance heavy as you can imagine.
@@nickbensema3045 it is possible and a lot of avatars do do it properly. Many creators don't care, some do. Some are near perfectionists on it. But the vast majority of avatars are free to use so the creator likely will be closer to the former than the latter. It's doable as it is now but it will become easier overtime as the vrchat sdk becomes more advanced and continually updates to newer and newer versions of unity's engine. Should be noted they're running on unity 2019. And the game was built on an even older version. Though they're saying soon they'll be shifting the engine to unity 2021 and so on until they finally catch up to whatever the newest version is at that time. Hell recent updates to the sdk and game allowed all avatars to automatically get a primitive version of eye tracking without needing to update the avatar. Physics and collision/clipping will only get better as the game advances and gets newer versions of it's engine
Anyone who plays an mmo has known someone in game who has held a fashion show, and it didn't cost the people who attended $10 after to get the outfits they liked, it just cost them 20-30 minutes of their time to talk to the person who's outfit they liked to go into a dungeon or craft it, and even runescape fits look 10x's better.
i saw this when it came out and i was BAFFILED not at the idea but the execution, 1# have they never seen VR chat or a mmo and 2# digital fashion doesn't just mean cloths it can be anything you do that expresses how you are in a digital form like IDK your profile pick or wallpaper or twitter banner. TLDR i feal like they dont even know what there doing with this

when I heard "fashion show in the metaverse" I thought, okay that can make sense, people have done concerts and such in vr after all. I was imagining something about 100 times better in every aspect. What I was thinking of was an alternate viewing experience that would supplement real world fashion shows. It would probably be a challenge to capture the performance in a way that can be viewed reasonably in a 3d enviornment(all the word metaverse actually means) , but given the relatively static space of a fashion show I imagine its not impossible. I don't know why I thought anyone using the word "metaverse" wasn't doing the easiest possible approach.
this makes IMVU (2005) look like the year 3333 compaired to the metaverse. IMVU has been having 4k HD fashion shows for literally decades and they out here making an embarassment of themselves XD
I'm not entirely convinced designers don't just make up some goofy shit to see how absurd they can make it and still get rich people to pay out the wahoo for.
What do you mean by that? haute couture is not a trend or fashion fad/style. It's a turn of phrase to describe something that looks expensive, expertly crafted, or something that comes from a high fashion designer/brand like Mugler, Bob Mackie, etc. I don't quite get how a turn of phrase can be a "speed run clown show". I understand thinking it's a dumb or redundant phrase that has lots of alternatives, but I don't think you actually understand what haute couture is
@Salem Crow no one in these comments knows much about the industry, it seems. you're absolutely right, designers do that, but haute couture is not a fucking trend. It's a turn of phrase to describe clothes that look expensive, well crafted, likely being from well-known designers or design houses. While designers do a lot of bullshit, "haute couture" has literally nothing to do with what you're complaining about.
@@TheFearnaxhaute couture can simultaneously look straight from the circus and from a well known designer, you know. Your definition and the OPs aren't mutually exclusive.
Maybe the meta verse would be a great way to help octogenarians to be introduced to what computerized images look like. Then we slowly introduce something with more frames and polygons
"Haute Couture" is French for "high fashion". It's not a brand. It's the insanely expensive, and usually unbelievably bizarre, runway fashions that designers come up with every year. It's not stuff you can buy at any store. The still incredibly expensive luxury brand stuff you CAN buy in a store is "pret-a-porter" which means "ready to wear". That's as much as I know because I wear old teeshirts and jeans.
I don't know how to code, but I am 100% certain that with a few hours of RUclips guides and a few weeks of work, I could code something that looked better than that fashion walk.
Charlie, you should host your own VRChat Fashion contest. This time invite 3D Model Artist so showcase their models. I think this would not only help the artist but aslo help Metaverse die lmao
As a 3D modeler and texture artist that works on fashion for 3D avatar chat sites as a hobby, the clothing/outfits people like most look exactly like real life clothing styles. Not sure why it worked out that way but it's the most popular fashion despite being able to be like a dragon or something.
For me, it's because it seems harder to render a pair of comfortable jeans than dragon scales. I've seen great examples of the later, but the former is pretty rare.
thats so weird to me! on avatar sites/games or any character creation i try to look as nonhuman as possible. i can be a human and wear pants any day . ive always been into the more fun/weird stuff
I’m part of a digital art scene called the Demoscene. When lockdown happened and we were unable to go to big events in halls and warehouses to compete and party, one of our groups built an online virtual space called Sofaworld, it was designed not only to host the livestreams of our events without having to go to a physical place, but it let people’s avatars ride virtual golf carts around, drink virtual beer, and virtually urinate everywhere. It was built by a handful of people, with no budget, for no money, and yet it was still infinitely a better quality experience that Metaverse did with a bazillion beer-tokens of investment and a huge team working on it.
I don't want to be fair to Zuck the Fuck but I bet a decent chunk of that money is going into R&D for VR software and hardware. Personally what I'm hoping for is for Facebook to spend the money to figure out best practice and for everyone else to iterate on their work so that we can keep ignoring Facebook's attempt to rebrand while benefitting from their excess of money.
@@fluidthought42 you say that but oculus is infamous for their budget headsets holding the market back and even forcing it backwards because meta wants more people in it. For example there was a shooter game(can’t think of what off the top of my mind since I don’t do vr) that reduced its performance, visuals, and polish so one of the occulus could actually run it.
@@SpecHallenbeck Individual headset models ≠ all of -Oculus- -Meta- Facebook VR R&D For example, despite only just coming out the PS5 VR headset included tech that Facebook's R&D had talked about years ago with the press. While a lot of the tech wasn't exactly groundbreaking in of itself (HDR OLED displays and foveated rendering aren't exactly cutting edge anymore) we can still hope that other people keep copying off of Zuck while he burns his own money away because fuck it why not? What's he going to do, copyright the idea of VR? Let him suffer so everyone else benefits from better VR tech without incurring the moral cost of giving Zuckerberg any money.
I do think digital fashion has a place but not for the fashion itself, but for the artists who make them as a form of promoting themselves, like modders do in the first place over games that allow it. Looking at VR Chat here, where i can imagine these 'shows' actually take place because of the passion for customizability. Skins for games are a good example but a bit too disconnected from full body cosmestics what metaverse wanted to push
I saw the clip earlier where she mentions the line “these are our armors of life” and I expected Charlie to say something like “This is a load of horseradish. The armors of MY life, RuneScape, looked better a decade ago!”
Meanwhile, in VRchat people that have a lot of experience with 3D modeling, make costumes and armor for any species and selling them or giving away on Gumroad. And the accessories themselves look fantastic. I know, because I have a friend who makes them, and I recently bought a custom made suit for myself.
ah! a fellow VRChat fur! i 100% agree. i literally bought a custom made avatar with toggles, effects, beautiful accessories... for 15 bucks. It's insane how low quality the meta verse is LOL

Second Life was made in 2003. As someone who's played it, they have somehow managed to make something that looks worse than even the earliest days of Second Life. I'm genuinely speechless.
Truth.
As my Secondlife avatar was the winner of best Male model for Best of Secondlife back in the mid 2000s, (Jonny Tobias) these videos are appalling compared to the stuff I could login and show you from my inventory from 15 years ago.
And believe me, I knew many people who pretty much lived on SL (I even did so myself for an entire year as I was getting paid to play as a model, event co-ordinator, Director all of which were effectively marketing roles) and the people spent a lot of money in the ecosystem to look good and show off or for using in game imagery as a basis for digital art.
But the Metaverse by comparison looks like the first generation Wii avatars.
@@ByteByteMause Yeah obviously modern SL would look better if the old one does. Also fashion events suck and none of those people have any style.
@@ByteByteMause Yeah I think I played it around 2007-2008 and some of 2009.
Logging into hundreds of private messages every day to where communicating on there required skype so I could get work done on there was pretty crazy, and the “e-fame” I had on there taught Me many lessons, one of which was that the designers on there were some of the hardest working people I have ever met given they had to deal with as many messages as I received of appreciation, item delivery failures, refunds, and all while most held down real jobs in their first lives.
The greatest lesson I took beyond My days there was the value of the real world and nature given as much fun as I had sitting on a screen for 18 hours a day, getting back to reality, earning real money and meeting actual people was infinitely more satisfying.
@@something7239 Whilst this may be true, it kept Me employed and engaged in the game as people paid Me Lindens to take them shopping and give them a taste of My own style along with sharing jokes and laughter.
It was a good time, yet looking back, such realities made Me the equivalent of the modern V tuber whereby My personality alone was sufficient to find Me famous on there.
Beyond the fashion though, the RP sims were also some of the most creative places on there beyond the massive sprawling Best of SL creations that Frolic Mills and Co used to come up with.
All this talk and remembering is making Me consider logging in again but I have no idea what sims I would visit other than Straylight as I knew the couple who owned & built that sim.
@@ByteByteMause I would believe it about those events being full, as I mentioned above, I remember the 4sim events I even had trouble getting to as they were run in the early am hours due to My timezone of Australia seeing Me become a vampire of sorts to mix and work with the Europeans and Americans in that scene.
Again fun times and I’m glad to see it hasn’t died and if I was to log on to it, My fashion sense will be timelessly frozen with that pre-social media version of Me I crafted in that world.

I wouldn't call it call a fashion show exactly, but, from my understanding, V-Ket (I think it stands for Virtual Market) is something that happens a few times a year where some companies promote their shit. Most of the time it's just to get you interested in a product, but some vendors are like such as those making comics to sell their stuff. Regardless, some people on VRChat commission avatars and shit, with the difference being that there's actually a significant amount of people you can show your avatar off to, unlike the metaverse.

As an artist that uses virtual reality, I hate that facebook tried to monopolize the VR industry and then ran it to the ground. Virtual Reality is a really fun medium for a lot of different things like games, graphic novels, and all kinds of interesting experiences. It's a shame that Zucc dragged it through the mud so investors learned not to trust it. There's still a lot of hope for VR though since it still has a pretty loyal community.
Metaverse to VR is like NFTs (and crypto to an extent) to blockchain.
Makes the tech look stupid despite being super cool and possibly useful in some cases.
In a way, it is not really a shame at all. Try to remember what corporations did to the internet once they saw it was an actual thing, the same people who once said it would never take off are the ones now to push censorship and dumping it down, filling it with ads. RUclips is being turned into the new cable tv. And a more modern example is what corps are doing to A.I.
So in a way, investors not being able to put their greasy, shit stained fingers on such an useful tech, at least for some time, is actually a good thing. Enjoy it while it is not mainstream.
Unfortunately after all these years VR is still in its “tech demo” phase. The only big releases are mods, fan projects, and indie things, everything else is just a new flavor of tech demo.

It's truly bizarre how it works. I've been part of some amazing productions for VR shortfilms (Tales of Soda Island is a great one I'd recommend if you bother wanting to check any of them out) and nobody knows about them. Like I don't want to sound like I'm tooting my own horn by discussing stuff I've been a part of, because the other productions I haven't are absolutely worth checking out, but Meta does nothing to promote them despite funding them. The Metaverse just had no direction. It never knew who it wanted to appease and tried to do too much too quickly by doing.. nothing? There was no foresight or any tangible ideas. The Quest Pro, the headset that was made to be used for 8 hours a day for business purposes, is something nobody I know actually enjoyed or were even contacted about to discuss what we would want to use it for.

Charlie, ‘haute couture’ is not a brand, it’s the term used to describe custom-made clothes by any fancy fashion company. And you did ok pronouncing it haha. The fact that anyone thinks animating a little dress in the metaverse is anything like what the craftspeople that make stuff like that IRL do is crazy. Of course digital art and animation are still arts but there’s a huge difference
Came here just for this haha
Yeah, it’s not like these things they’re making are made from scratch
It’s like a little game customizable for no game
And this shit runs really slow and poorly and isn’t polished at all
This ain’t digital art
@@sweethysteria8737xactly. You’d think, with how far graphics have come nowadays, this shit would’ve ran faster and looked smoother…it looks SOOO choppy and basic af

Came to find this comment. This doesn't even hold a candle to what designers do with the form and function of fabric in real life. Truthfully, I think the virtual designs look kind of ugly aesthetically, sans being completely devoid of artistry. Also thought the way Charlie pronounced "haute couture" was kinda funny 😅
The degree of second hand embarrassment I feel watching that is through the roof
Do it bro, tap on her pic defs not a thot.
The fact that dress to impress is much better than this 💀

Had a pretty good trip today, walked half a metric mile as well. So much beautiful nature and not to forget the good weather. Learned a few things along the way as the trail is along an old paper factory. Saw some abandoned rails here and there with a few carts still on it. There are a few signs explaining the history and what conditions they had to word under and live in.
Just got home and just remembered there's a digital world. Silly me, how could i loose out on so much.

You know what’s funny? This kind of thing has been done before successfully! And recently!
Sky: children of the light recently had a collab with the singer aurora and there was a lot of cosmetics surrounding just straight up real outfits she’s worn in music videos and concerts and at red carpets and stuff.
Like, there absolutely IS a market for this. I’m not even a massive fan of hers (I don’t dislike her by any means I just wasn’t all that familiar with her before the collab) but I still absolutely got all the cosmetics because I’m a collector for stuff in that game and the items looked adorable!!!
My point is you can absolutely do the like “real world person/designer wants to put their clothing into a digital space” if you really wanted to, but obviously this ain’t it LMAO

I love how they explain that you can’t actually make anything new or creative with their fashion metaverse and rephrase it to sound like it’s a feature.
At $10 Billion, they could have rebooted Star Wars Galaxies, and World of Warcraft, made an entirely new streamlined fashionable armor sets / clothing, then literally spent all the excess money innovating to make the worlds more elaborate, detailed, and hosted monthly fashion shows inside those games, while hosting massive events for gamers to actually Cosplay their bizarre fashion ideas non-ironically.
The designers know its absolutely not worth their time and effort to come up with anything new in this dogshit dead "game"
Like DG using creator submitted costumes as their line to "turn the tables on fashion" - No lol you did that because you were too lazy and cheap to commission your own unique assets on such short notice
@@heatherfoster7823 Designer equivalent to holding a contest for new outfits for characters, then selling the winning outfit for a premium.

I feel like VrChat is the closest actual thing you can get to right now to what I think Zuck wants the metaverse to be like... but instead of everyone having the same customizable avatars and outfits, you can upload your own or even buy from gumroad, or even get them custom made for a fraction of what some of those high end clothing items would cost irl.
Ah but see you that's only possible because the aspect of user expression is not directly monetized by he developers. If the developers were selling "Kermit with katanga and a blunt" avatar or avatars with "visible female presenting nipples" they'd be facing a whole hell of a lot of lawsuits and restrictions, but because it's users doing it instead the developers are free to do their thing without worry.

@FutaCatto Second life is EXTREMELY dated and as far as I know has no actual VR capabilities.
@Flare
Most people create anime girls because they're trans and on the younger end of the demographical spectrum, at least compared to SL users.
@Flare
VR isn't intensive because of just "more pixels", it's intensive because it's a generation of any given scene _twice_ from slightly different perspectives and also at way higher refresh rates than traditional displays require (since low refresh rates correspond to greater degree of simulated motion sickness). In fact modern VR headset displays are usually built on smartphone screen technology, which isn't all that intensive in of itself.
And I don't think it's an engine limitation, Escape From Tarkov is built in Unity and can handle realistic humans just fine, even better than Second Life can in my opinion. Which shouldn't be too surprising, SL is built off of 20 year old tech that has been slowly been getting touch ups that don't necessarily reflect modern lighting and rendering standards (like subsurface scattering for skin).
I was being pithy with my previous response, VRChat's initial player base came from different groups which included channers (users lf image boards like 4chan) which infamously have a fascination with anime and fans of another online community that had a preexisting shared model set that used the same file type. However the popularity of anime girl avatars persisted because of the large adoptation by the online trans community.
The Metaverse is the literal incarnation Jschlatt's famous quote "-Games, unlimited games, but no games." It's a game you can play endlessly...with nothing to do

Thank you for bringing up games that do skins right. I've played a bunch of MMOs in my life and I've bought a ton of digital outfits for my chars. But like you said, there is a game to play while showing them off.
It's crazy to me that we can be anything in a virtual world but all these execs think we still want to be humans with mostly regular clothes
At least Zuck finally figured out most of us want legs. The no touching aspect is also hysterical to me. Literally pod people.
@@ANPC-pi9vu i think the no touching thing is bc people are legitimately concerned about VR sexual harassment which I just find hilarious

@MagmaPixel im a vr chatter. Vr sexual harrassment is totally a thing but its mostly verbal. Can't imagine how touch vr harrassment would work lmaooo
I'm studying fashion and this actually pains me knowing how intricate and interesting fashion can actually be and this just further ruins the name of fashion to people who already don't see it as a proper form of art
Honestly I would probably be more interested in fashion if it wasn't so infested with ugly European elitism, especially the damn French.
I'll stick to my ghetto ass Drip or Drown conventions thank you very much 😤
I wonder if you also thought it was funny that Charlie thought "haute couture" was a brand name 💀
No offense but I mostly just see modern fashion as ether "yay, these clothes look good together" or "I AM NOW A POINTY BAG!!!". I known this probably isn't what you mean, but I just wanted to share.
Good for you though.
@@LunarElevenI thought I was wrong and came here looking for a comment referencing the haute couture brand. Ty!
omg it pained me when charlie thought haute couture was a brand lord T.T ppl will dismiss fashion as soon as its not "wearable" in every day life. art with fabric put on someone's body is such a cool concept idk how ppl cant see that. haute couture was never made for wearing
I remember seeing a "chat room" in Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex where it was sort of like a drop in-drop out talk show, where everyone was unique looking and just kind of chilling but having actual deep conversation. That was what I expected with a VR space, and where I still hope to see it go eventually.
I know exactly what you are talking about since I have that whole thing on DVD. I hoped we would see a fraction of what GITS had on it by now.
When Digimon and GITS can do it better than the "tech geniuses."

Part of fashion week is to show off not just the designers talent but the talents of all those who worked to make the clothes. Models as well are apart of it as well as crew.

PLEASE HELP @ANDREWMAN!!!
PLEASE!!!
Wow, so cutting edge that I can see the jagged edges of the curves on the model. It's is incredible to see how far technology has progressed. I'm glad they payed homage to the first Playstation with their rendering techniques. :^)
10:52 So let me get this straight, the guy is trying to argue that people can buy these outfits in the metaverse when they usually can't afford them IRL, but the metaverse (atleast Zuck's Metaverse) has a fixed entry cost of, off the top of my head (could be wrong), over $100 dollars. Who is going to go out of their way to buy this? The whole point of "high fashion" is that it's overpriced as hell and the rich buy them, then the media laud over them. It is completely antithesis to the idea of "high fashion". It makes it no different than a t-shirt you buy from Walmart (or any other store). I am no enjoyer of "high fashion" or buying of overpriced clothing, but even I understand this.
this graphics and quality of their "meta reality" reminds me of 2004-2007 3d mmorpg. Like wow... the lag, crispiness of the graphics, and the really awkward animation made me tear up.
I never knew meta finally broke through 3d games recently now in the year 2007 -internet explorer v1
Spend that $100 to buy groceries
Bro I was already cracking up but the 3rd model in the yellow dress killed me with that jump emote 😂
This is like the same quality as those 3d mmo games in the 2000s where you just have little characters run around in dumb outfits
Congrats your comment got stolen by a sex bot
Exactly, it looks like a game clip straight out of the '00s instead of this "high fashion" hullabaloo that they pretend it to be. Even the announcer sounds like she's straight out of '00s British documentary. Also what's up with the potato quality lol was that an aesthetic choice or was it from their shoe string budget.
The silliest thing too is that it’s literally fake fashion… you can go absolutely WILD with what you present, but they still show the most basic fashion
This looks like when my friends and I would do "fashion shows" with our transmog'd gear in WoW as a joke... like 10 years ago
And what is even funnier - transmogs show in WoW is a mile better then this stuff
I could see a fashion show happening in VRChat, some 3D artists showcasing their modelling skills so that people may commission them
this brings me back to like 2013 or around that time, i was 11-12 and asked my dad to buy a t-shirt and i spent $10 on an xbox 360 avatar with a creeper face on it, after a while he asked me where the shirt is and i showed him the screen, his face said it all

I remember someone talked with a metaverse dev on vrchat, and they were absolutely dumbfounded by how they got hair to move
Do you have the video? This sounds like peak entertainment lol
This happens because they categorically refuse to hire game developers for Meta and refuse to develop it like a game. So you have people used to developing for the UI and Javascript nightmare that is Facebook developing what is essentially VRChat, but without any of the typical game development environment, including apparently hacking together their own engine.
I also want to see this video
The metaverse those companies try to push out, is surprisingly mundane. Like, we have games out there that do reality bending things, meanwhile the "future of gaming and social interaction" is like "uh, some avatars walking and emoting in a shj/tty game"
I know right? There are so many video game "Online Spaces" right now... From simple MMOs like Everquest, RuneScape, then some simulators like Second Life, heck, Even Minecraft used to have multiplayer hubs (like Mineplex, that I remember the most)
What is the Metaverse other than a glorified video game?
I've noticed tech companies always try to make crypto shit look hip. Like that "I just bought more land in the metaverse" ad, or Dogecoin, or that Eminem & Snoop Dog music video for monkey pictures. It always fails spectacularly.
Most fashion brands are detached from reality so I'm not even surprised they thought this was a good idea.
Charlie is literally the ONLY person on the internet who I say, “Okay, I got ten minutes. Preach to me, Chuck.”
Charlie not knowing that “haute couture” isnt a fashion brand is so painfully funny lol

As someone who lives and breathes avant-garde fashion, the largest aspect to me and a lot of others is the craft. The price and the reasoning behind aspects of a piece all fit into the craft and care put in. To see people try to pull off this and create fashion in this manor only screams “I WANT MONEY”. This of course circles back and devalues the fashion even further. To say the least it’s soulless.
Exactly, like I would dare anyone to say that someone like Iris van Herpen isn’t an incredible designer. But this is not fashion.
Thank youuuu 😔
everyone in the comments attacking fashion instead of seeing this meta bs for what it really is- some crypto bro, who still wears their mommy’s hand picked Ross outfit from ten years ago, trying to figure out what “rich people waste their money on” and landing on “fashion”, since “art” has already been done. They expected the same, low-effort garbage that NFT’s were to cross over to fashion because at the end of the day, they still see it as “stuff”.
i have even seen digital fashion artists create things that shows their artistic skills and break the bounds of physics so it makes sense.
needless to say, what the hell is this shit

Meta looks so ass lol
I'm not so sure. Whenever I see a long dress in VRChat, there's no collision on it even if the physics are turned on. so their legs keep clipping through the dress. That's why so many avatars' outfits are skin-tight. There's probably a way to do it right; avatars have a lot of capabilities, but most don't bother.
@@nickbensema3045 There are collision scripts to add to the model, to make them work with anything that has a physics script on it. A lot of people just don't know how to use them, know they even exist, or don't care. Same with rotation constraints/twist bones so your elbows and wrists don't implode when you twist them. Cloth physic shaders exist too, but they're very performance heavy as you can imagine.
Well people wanna buy the whole avatar and people make good money selling them.
@@nickbensema3045 it is possible and a lot of avatars do do it properly. Many creators don't care, some do. Some are near perfectionists on it. But the vast majority of avatars are free to use so the creator likely will be closer to the former than the latter.
It's doable as it is now but it will become easier overtime as the vrchat sdk becomes more advanced and continually updates to newer and newer versions of unity's engine.
Should be noted they're running on unity 2019. And the game was built on an even older version. Though they're saying soon they'll be shifting the engine to unity 2021 and so on until they finally catch up to whatever the newest version is at that time.
Hell recent updates to the sdk and game allowed all avatars to automatically get a primitive version of eye tracking without needing to update the avatar. Physics and collision/clipping will only get better as the game advances and gets newer versions of it's engine
Anyone who plays an mmo has known someone in game who has held a fashion show, and it didn't cost the people who attended $10 after to get the outfits they liked, it just cost them 20-30 minutes of their time to talk to the person who's outfit they liked to go into a dungeon or craft it, and even runescape fits look 10x's better.
The Metaverse is the perfect embodiment of out-of-touch rich people finding out what an MMO is, 20 years before everyone else.
It's funny how they didn't even bother to add some bots to fill up the crowd 😂😂😂
i saw this when it came out and i was BAFFILED not at the idea but the execution, 1# have they never seen VR chat or a mmo and 2# digital fashion doesn't just mean cloths it can be anything you do that expresses how you are in a digital form like IDK your profile pick or wallpaper or twitter banner.

@@TheOther19 it's very obvious now. No common person would find this interesting and would want more of this when there are already very well known better alternatives to this. It's mind boggling
Charlie not even knowing the event host's name or what haute couture is makes this infinitely better.
when I heard "fashion show in the metaverse" I thought, okay that can make sense, people have done concerts and such in vr after all. I was imagining something about 100 times better in every aspect. What I was thinking of was an alternate viewing experience that would supplement real world fashion shows. It would probably be a challenge to capture the performance in a way that can be viewed reasonably in a 3d enviornment(all the word metaverse actually means) , but given the relatively static space of a fashion show I imagine its not impossible. I don't know why I thought anyone using the word "metaverse" wasn't doing the easiest possible approach.
Should have been possible with 360 camera systems. Just goes to show how boomer these industries are.
this makes IMVU (2005) look like the year 3333 compaired to the metaverse. IMVU has been having 4k HD fashion shows for literally decades and they out here making an embarassment of themselves XD

Haute Couture fashion always struck me as a desperate speed run to be as much of a clown show as possible - so this is actually in character for them.
The Emperor wears no clothes
I'm not entirely convinced designers don't just make up some goofy shit to see how absurd they can make it and still get rich people to pay out the wahoo for.
What do you mean by that? haute couture is not a trend or fashion fad/style. It's a turn of phrase to describe something that looks expensive, expertly crafted, or something that comes from a high fashion designer/brand like Mugler, Bob Mackie, etc.
I don't quite get how a turn of phrase can be a "speed run clown show". I understand thinking it's a dumb or redundant phrase that has lots of alternatives, but I don't think you actually understand what haute couture is
@Salem Crow no one in these comments knows much about the industry, it seems. you're absolutely right, designers do that, but haute couture is not a fucking trend. It's a turn of phrase to describe clothes that look expensive, well crafted, likely being from well-known designers or design houses.
While designers do a lot of bullshit, "haute couture" has literally nothing to do with what you're complaining about.
@@TheFearnaxhaute couture can simultaneously look straight from the circus and from a well known designer, you know. Your definition and the OPs aren't mutually exclusive.
Maybe the meta verse would be a great way to help octogenarians to be introduced to what computerized images look like. Then we slowly introduce something with more frames and polygons
"Haute Couture" is French for "high fashion". It's not a brand. It's the insanely expensive, and usually unbelievably bizarre, runway fashions that designers come up with every year. It's not stuff you can buy at any store. The still incredibly expensive luxury brand stuff you CAN buy in a store is "pret-a-porter" which means "ready to wear". That's as much as I know because I wear old teeshirts and jeans.
Awesome description LOL

Charlie, you should host your own VRChat Fashion contest. This time invite 3D Model Artist so showcase their models. I think this would not only help the artist but aslo help Metaverse die lmao
No, I agree. VRC has some wild shit if you're in the right communities. Like this weekend is the GC x Chloma fashion event. Genuine quality event.
That’s a good ass idea.
I would definetely attend that
i do textures for avis and unity stuff full time lol
Great idea!!
As a 3D modeler and texture artist that works on fashion for 3D avatar chat sites as a hobby, the clothing/outfits people like most look exactly like real life clothing styles. Not sure why it worked out that way but it's the most popular fashion despite being able to be like a dragon or something.
For me, it's because it seems harder to render a pair of comfortable jeans than dragon scales. I've seen great examples of the later, but the former is pretty rare.
thats so weird to me! on avatar sites/games or any character creation i try to look as nonhuman as possible. i can be a human and wear pants any day . ive always been into the more fun/weird stuff
People like to see their stuffs on the internet. An example is some people visit google maps just to see their house there 😂
It feels like an extension of my clothing style, and I always felt like putting on a dragon costume is just doing to much
THE WHOLE OPERATION WAS RUN BY TONY LAZUTTO ...HUH WHAT WAS THAT? MUST BE MY IMAGINATION!
I’m part of a digital art scene called the Demoscene.
When lockdown happened and we were unable to go to big events in halls and warehouses to compete and party, one of our groups built an online virtual space called Sofaworld, it was designed not only to host the livestreams of our events without having to go to a physical place, but it let people’s avatars ride virtual golf carts around, drink virtual beer, and virtually urinate everywhere.
It was built by a handful of people, with no budget, for no money, and yet it was still infinitely a better quality experience that Metaverse did with a bazillion beer-tokens of investment and a huge team working on it.
That's awesome, even the urinating part 😂 I'd love to know more about it
I don't want to be fair to Zuck the Fuck but I bet a decent chunk of that money is going into R&D for VR software and hardware. Personally what I'm hoping for is for Facebook to spend the money to figure out best practice and for everyone else to iterate on their work so that we can keep ignoring Facebook's attempt to rebrand while benefitting from their excess of money.
@@fluidthought42 you say that but oculus is infamous for their budget headsets holding the market back and even forcing it backwards because meta wants more people in it.

@@SpecHallenbeck
Individual headset models ≠ all of -Oculus- -Meta- Facebook VR R&D
For example, despite only just coming out the PS5 VR headset included tech that Facebook's R&D had talked about years ago with the press. While a lot of the tech wasn't exactly groundbreaking in of itself (HDR OLED displays and foveated rendering aren't exactly cutting edge anymore) we can still hope that other people keep copying off of Zuck while he burns his own money away because fuck it why not? What's he going to do, copyright the idea of VR? Let him suffer so everyone else benefits from better VR tech without incurring the moral cost of giving Zuckerberg any money.

I do think digital fashion has a place but not for the fashion itself, but for the artists who make them as a form of promoting themselves, like modders do in the first place over games that allow it.
Looking at VR Chat here, where i can imagine these 'shows' actually take place because of the passion for customizability.
Skins for games are a good example but a bit too disconnected from full body cosmestics what metaverse wanted to push
