JetSim - Floating Origin

---

⚠ Using this prefab has implications ⚠

Anything that relies on world space may not function at all, or just produce undesirable results.

Examples:

• Static batching
• Occlusion culling
• VRCObjectSync
• Specific shaders

When syncing the position of an object you should do so relative to the Anchor object. Anchor is the first child of WorldParent.

One such system that can do this is SmartObjectSync.

Dependencies

• VRRefAssist VCC, GitHub.

General Info

• The VRC Scene Descriptor that can be found on the VRCWorld object now has its Respawn Height Y set to -1000000. This is to prevent the player and pickups from constantly respawning when you travel downward quickly.
• You now have a WorldParent object in your scene. You will need to parent all the objects that players will be able to see, walk on, interact with, etc. to this object.
• You can mark the WorldParent object as the default parent to make your life easier.
• For performance reasons It's important that you only parent objects to the WorldParent that actually need to move with the world.
• I recommend that you put objects that are close together in the world under a common parent. This is to reduce the amount of direct child objects on the WorldParent. Which in turn reduces how many objects I need to iterate over in U#.
