VRChat Hypno Eyes Shader | 🌌 Somna Presets

The hypno eye shader pack for VRChat avatars.

Staring directly at the hypnotic eyes is recommended.

Not compatible with Quest or NeosVR., not tested with CVR.

Includes:

• 100 material presets: 58 for 1D, 19 for Log Spiral, 20 for Parallax3D, 3 for Polar2D

• 4 shaders (with editors): 1D, Logarithmic Spiral, Polar2D, Parallax3D.
• Tutorials and walkthroughs on setting everything up.
• Shader optimizer so that you only pay the performance cost of what you use (similar to Poiyomi locking).

This package does not include any of the avatar models in the images & videos.

DLC

🖥️ Screenspace DLC is available!

• Completely covers the vision of the viewer.
• Mask prefab included.

🎯 Focus DLC now available!

• Focuses will always face the observer.
• Designed to work on 99% of avatars.

Customization

Each shader comes with various customization settings.

• The 1D shader generates effects from a 1D gradient texture you can modify.
• The Logarithmic Spiral shader generates an infinity spiral effect from a 1D gradient texture you can modify.
• The Polar shader generates effects from any 2D texture.
• The Parallax shader generates a depth parallax effect from any 2D texture.
• The shaders are written by hand and are self-contained. Editing their code will not be a headache.

Setup & Compatibility & Avatar Requirements

The eyes should work on any avatar, assuming that certain conditions are met.

I recommend using the free compatibility checker tool to see if you need to change your avatar in any way.

There are two ways of using the eyes:

1. Apply it on your model's eye material ("Eye Material method")
2. Use it on a contact lens mesh ("Contacts method")

Contacts Method

Contacts method will add 2 mesh renderers and 2 material slots to your avatar. We currently have contact presets available for these avatar bases:

• JinA's Ampwave
• Tokyozilla's Tigerbee
• Irix's Taidum
• Kobodal

We have some tutorial videos available:

• How to apply the preset: WALKTHROUGH VIDEO
• How to add contacts to any avatar: WALKTHROUGH VIDEO

In case you want to use overlay texture parameters or the Parallax 3D shader, you may still need to edit the textures you wish to use to overlap with the UVs of the contact model (which is a circle with (0.5, 0.5) being the center)

Eye Material Method

This is the simplest option, if your eyes satisfy these requirements:

• The eyes are on their own material slot and do not share it with any other geometry. We have a video walking through the process of separating eyes into their own slot.
  • View it here (TUTORIAL VIDEO).
• The shader requires UV coordinate centers of the eyes (if you aren't using contacts and if using the 1D or Polar 2D shader, or some optional settings on the Parallax 3D)
  • We have presets available:
    • Ampwave (JinA)
    • Arflin
    • Azalea (Foxipaws)
    • Batdal
    • BZ Protogen

    • View it here (TUTORIAL VIDEO).
• Textures that overlap with the UVs of your model's eyes. We have a video walking through the process of setting up textures to satisfy this requirement. (if using overlay texture slots or the Parallax 3D shader)
