What is Holoscanner? ✨

Holoscanner is a shader for VRChat and Unity that reconstructs scenes in 3D, allowing you to "take a photo" of (for example) your friend's avatar and then view it as a 3D, interactable hologram.

Holoscanner comes with multiple prefabs, preset materials, animations, and 3.0 Avatar support. You do not need extensive shader or Unity knowledge to use it, but if you do, then you are able to customise it to your heart's content! You can use it as a plug-and-play gimmick to take photos of your friends, or create your own elaborate sci-fi display for your world with it. It is as flexible as you want it to be.

Buying Holoscanner

These are the only official places to buy Holoscanner. Please do not get scammed elsewhere!

  • Gumroad: The preferred marketplace.
  • Booth: An alternative marketplace.
  • Jinxxy: An alternative marketplace.
  • Payhip: An alternative marketplace.

You will get updates and support regardless of where you buy it.

Personal vs Commercial Licenses

A personal license allows you to use HoloScanner freely in your own projects as you see fit, but you cannot resell it with other assets or use it in projects that you are profiting from. A commercial license allows you to use HoloScanner like a personal license, but also allows you to resell it in transformative works (ex. you have to actually add something to it, like an avatar) or use it in a world that you are profiting from. If you are unsure which license to buy, I suggest starting with the personal license and upgrading later if you need to.

Having Trouble? (Or Questions)

Please reach out to me! You can find all my contacts listed here, and I would rather help you than have you miss out on using something that I think is super cool!! If I don't get back to you immediately, I may be asleep >.< but I will reply and help as much as I can!

Notes

This only applies to using it for an avatar (not a world): because Holoscanner uses Render Textures to capture what will be displayed, in VRChat, it will be limited to friends seeing it properly. Similarly, if somebody blocks custom shaders, it will not be visible to them.
