BaM | Build VR in Unity - Ep9: Dynamic Player Prefabs

This episode shows how to workaround several Unity limitations. We will implement Just-In-Time joining and the ability to select from multiple avatars. Also adding new avatar prefabs with full XR control has become much easier with the Auto-IK component. Finally I will talk about the future of these tutorials and another exciting announcement regarding the project.

Great work! I attempted something similar with my limited knowledge, but when I discovered Unity was developing the VR multiplayer template, I decided to stop and wait for their solution. Now that I’m using it, I find the avatars (floating heads) quite disappointing, and I really want the ability to choose any avatar I want. That’s why I’ve started exploring your project, which looks amazing. However, I can’t help but wonder—wouldn’t it be a great alternative to develop your solutions (like avatar selection, AI integration, etc.) and incorporate them into the VR multiplayer template as a custom package? This way, you could leverage Unity’s networking framework while enhancing it with your features. I would definitely buy those assets if they were available in the store. They would be a game-changer for enhancing VR multiplayer experiences!

Hello! I just found your videos to find out you will not keep posting new long ones. I understand your frustration mostly when you receive "negative" comments such as "developing a multiplayer game is very easy".
I would like to know what is the difference between your approach to what Unity Gaming Services offer? Is it the same? is it complementary? I would like to know...
What are your next steps in developing the BaM? is XR in the pipeline?
Apart from this, do you have a discord channel or something similar to keep track of the development status?
Thank you for your time!
