About

Frosty's billboard is a container for the KAT (KillFrenzyAvatarText) making use of VRChat Avatar Dynamics and Unity Constraints you can have a speech bubble with the ability to drop it in the world, resizing it, grabbing and moving it around, posing it however you'd like, or just having it move with your head!

It uses 500 polygons, 4 material slots, 12 bits of parameter space, and 6 constraints.

Required parameter space for the text system will depend on how fast you want the text to render, read more Here

Speech Parsers

• TTS-Voice-Wizard An OSC program allowing speech to text, speech to text to speech, and text to text outputting to the KAT, making use of one of five speech recognition methods, Microsoft Azure, OpenAI's Whisper, Vosk, Web Captioner, or System Speech.
  • It also supports emotes replacing the original set of Japanese Hiragana, as seen in some screenshots
  • Many more cool & quality of life features
• VRCTextboxSTT Another OSC program making use of OpenAI's Whisper which runs locally on your GPU or CPU to transcribe speech and outputs to the KAT.
  • In my experience it has great, almost Azure quality, speech recognition for free with a simple setup.
  • Supports emotes and text to text.
  • Intuitive SteamVR binding system, press to transcribe, hold to clear

• Someone have your shaders/custom animations hidden? A fallback message will show instead.

Requirements

• IMPORT THESE BEFORE IMPORTING MY PACKAGE
• KillFrenzyAvatarText 1.3.2
• VRLabs AV3 Manager to make installation much easier.
• Poiyomi 8.1 Specific version used is 8.1.163
• 12 bits of parameter space (Billboard only), 4 if you opt out for manual resizing.
• This prefab was made with write defaults off, your avatar should too to avoid potential issues. (or turn all write defaults on in the FX)
