Add to Scene
To add HoloBadge to your scene, click on JustSleightly in the top toolbar, and click on the HoloBadge menu option. You can also press Alt + B for Badge.
This will add the installer onto the first active loaded Avatar Descriptor in the scene.
Technical Details
If you have any GameObjects selected in the scene, clicking the Menu Item for HoloBadge will search all selected objects and parents first for an Avatar Descriptor.
If there are no active Avatar Descriptors found in the scene, the installer will be added to the base scene.
Activate License
If you have never used this on this PC before, you will see a field labeled Enter your license key. Make sure you've validated your license key on the Discord server, then input your license key from your purchase and click activate. This is a one-time-use key that will authorize the current PC for future use of HoloBadge.
If your license key is not working due to it already being in use, click the Transfer License option.
Auto-Arrange
Select this to automatically position/rotate/scale HoloBadge as best as it can. You should adjust it to your liking after conducting this step.
On a humanoid avatar with VR Detection enabled, Auto Arrange will try to position HoloBadge in front of your face facing away, and at your hand that is selected in Default Hand Configuration. If a custom VR follow target is used, or if the avatar is non-humanoid, HoloBadge will start positioning from that GameObject instead.
Auto-Arrange will be disabled if a custom follow target is required but not set yet.
Edit Position/Rotation/Scale
Enable these to display scene handles in the scene view to grab using the mouse cursor.
Please make sure Gizmos are enabled in your scene to be able to see the handles.

If your FX Animator Controller has a mix of Write Defaults On and Off, a warning will appear and the Write Defaults option will not be labeled with (Auto). This option will be available to manually enable/disable, and the generated states will follow the manually set status.
States with BlendTrees that are also set to Write Defaults On and have
(WD On)in the name are omitted from the scan.Include Audio

Password Creator Integration Settings
This module is only available if Password Creator Integration is enabled from Advanced Options.
It is recommended to install Password Creator after HoloBadge, as you will need to enable
Badge Compatibility. This is usually automatically detected by Password Creator if you install HoloBadge first.You may also want to rotate HoloBadge 180 degrees so that it faces you when locked.
Banner Event
Select a Password Creator event that you would like this banner to be triggered by. It is recommended to think through how you will be using Password Creator with your Avatar before setting these events.
Before Passwordwill trigger the banner whenever the password has not yet been entered. This is most commonly used for immediate Avatar locks, or often together with Only when PWC menu open.
After Passwordwill trigger the banner after the password has been successfully entered. It is recommended to leave Only when PWC menu open enabled for this event.During/After Trial refer to PWC's pre-timer functionality which doesn't lock an Avatar until a certain amount of time has passed. This is ideal for public demo avatars where you want to lock specific functionality or lock out the whole avatar after a certain time period, in which the user will have to reset the avatar to continue using it, or obtain a password from your Discord Server.
During Trialwill trigger while the Avatar is unlocked before the password is entered. It is recommend to leave Only when PWC menu open enabled for this event.
After Trialis after the trial expires and the Avatar is locked again but before the password is entered.Please be sure to enable
Pre-Timerin Password Creator when using a Trial event.Examples of using Password Creator Integration
Using PWC to totally lock down an Avatar's movement until a password is entered. Before Password
Using PWC to lock certain animation layers until a password is entered. Before Password Only when PWC menu open
Using PWC to lock certain submenus until a password is entered. Before Password Only when PWC menu open
Using PWC to lock any of the above after a certain period of time. Great for demo avatars of paid models. During Trial Only when PWC menu open or After Trial
Distributing passwords via your Discord Server/Patreon/Supporters/Friends/Subscriptions.
Only when PWC menu open
Select whether this banner should trigger any time this event is active (such as if the Avatar is locked by default) or if the banner should only open when the password menu is opened in the Expressions Menu during this event.
Remove Badge Menu/Parameters
Enable this if you are using HoloBadge exclusively for Password Creator functionality and do not need to control it from your Expressions Menu.
Enabling this disables Include Constraint Controls.
Sync PWC Banners/Parameters
Enable this to have the banners triggered by Password Creator be visible to other players.
Adds 1 - 3 memory to your expression parameters depending on how many banner events are selected (See Memory Calculations for more details).
Save File Path
Select where to create the GeneratedHBResources folder which contains all of the generated files.
Technical Details
By default, this path is
Assets/JustSleightly/HoloBadge.Changes made to this path will attempt to be saved to your editor preferences for use in other projects as well.
Begin Setup
Clicking this button will begin the generation of the HoloBadge system according to the configuration above. This button will be greyed out if there are any red errors returned in the Inspector.
Utilities

Is HoloBadge compatible with VRChat Quest Avatars?
No, as VRChat Quest Avatars do not support Constraints at this time.
Is HoloBadge compatible with Optimized Avatars?
It can be! See the performance stats at the top of this documentation. Your optimized Avatar will need to fit within the remaining stats, but HoloBadge does leave room for an avatar to still be rated as Good.
Why is my HoloBadge's textures not displaying properly?
Please check the version of Poiyomi Shader you are using with the latest tested version on the store page. If they are different, please try removing the existing Poiyomi Shader in your project and importing the latest supported version recommended by the store page. If HoloBadge still looks incorrect, please reimport HoloBadge into your project to refresh the materials with the latest supported Poiyomi Shader.
How do I export HoloBadge with my commercial package?
Assuming you have a commercial license for HoloBadge, the script generates everything from scratch, making it easy to export without worrying about conflicting with other packages.
You can find these generated resources at
Save File Path/GeneratedHBResources/. By default, this isAssets/JustSleightly/HoloBadge/GeneratedHBResources/.The folder with your avatar's HoloBadge under Generated Resources is the only one you need to export. The only exception to this is if you did not have an FX controller, Gesture controller, Expression Parameters, or Expressions Menu by default, in which those will be generated in your
Assets/folder.You may not export or redistribute the HoloBadge.dll file and other contents under
Packages/JS - HoloBadge/. Please refer to the full Terms and Conditions on my store.
Why is my project crashing after importing HoloBadge?
Remove HoloBadge via Windows File Explorer and check your project to see if it currently contains Cinemachine. You can locate this by clicking on
Window > Package Managerfrom the top toolbar, and browsing the packages currently in your project. If Cinemachine is added, remove it. It is sometimes added through the VRChat Worlds SDK, so you may need to remove any remnants of the Worlds SDK from your project and this package manager window before removing Cinemachine.
Can I change the computer my license is registered to?
Yes, in the event you change hardware, you can use the Transfer License option when trying to verify your license key in Unity on the new hardware. There is a cooldown period to prevent abuse, and these logs will be monitored for misuse. If you need to re-transfer sooner than this transfer period, open a support ticket on discord.
Can I upgrade my personal license?
Yes, open a support ticket on discord and we can get that process started for you.
