info

Not every compatible shader is listed by RED_SIM, and not every listed shader uses the same update workflow. Always prefer the shader author's official distribution page over random reuploads or mirrors.

What World Creators Should Tell Users​

If your world uses VRC Light Volumes:

  • tag the world with vrclightvolumes
  • make it obvious in your world info or docs that modern avatar shaders are recommended
  • do not be shy about telling users to update their shaders
  • keep light probes around as a compatibility fallback if needed, but do not present them as the preferred long-term path

What This List Means​

This list should be read as:

  • if the shader is here, users should usually update it instead of giving up
  • if the avatar still does not work after updating, check for toggles or material-version issues
  • if the shader is missing, check the shader's official docs before assuming it is unsupported

For the actual update workflow, continue to Updating Avatar Shaders for Light Volumes.
