Instant Camera - Flash and a Photo that Slowly Develops | VRChat

A rounded, boxy instant camera. Press Take Photo in the menu: the flash fires and a photo comes out of the slot on top.

The picture slowly appears on the dark print over a few seconds.

Features

• Take Photo fires the flash and a photo comes out
• The picture develops over about 8 seconds (a sunset hill by default; you can use your own image)
• Large lens, flash, viewfinder and shutter button
• 2 colors: Mint / Cream
• Modular Avatar ready: put it under your avatar and fit it to the right hand

Menu (English menu prefab)

• Instant Camera > Show: camera on/off
• Instant Camera > Take Photo: each press fires the flash and a photo comes out

What's included

• Prefabs x 2 colors
• FBX, textures, lilToon materials, flash and photo shaders, animation
• English-menu prefabs (_EN) next to the Japanese-menu prefabs. Use one or the other on an avatar, not both.
• Instruction manual and Terms of Use in English and Japanese

Specs

• Added to your avatar (counted in Unity): 2,596 triangles, 4 meshes, 4 material slots (body, lens, flash, photo), 0 PhysBones
• Synced parameters: 2 bits (Show, Take Photo)
• All counts follow VRChat's rules (hidden parts are counted too) and show how much one prefab adds to your avatar.
• The VRChat performance rank depends on the total with your avatar, so this item alone does not decide it.

Requirements

• Unity 2022.3.22f1 (an avatar project made with VRChat Creator Companion)
• VRChat SDK (Avatars) 3.10 or later
• Modular Avatar 1.18 or later
• lilToon 2.3 or later

Please note

• PC only. Not supported on Quest / Android.
• It does not really take pictures. The photo shows a fixed picture or an image you set on the material.
• To use your own image, put it in "Custom picture" on M_InstantCam_*_Photo and turn on "Use custom picture".
• This is not a real product. The design is original.
• The menu controls (Show, Shoot), the flash and the photo: they move only inside VRChat (including Build & Test) or with Gesture Manager. If they look still in the Unity Editor, nothing is broken.

Terms of use

• You may upload it to VRChat and similar services on your own avatars, edit it, and use it in streams, videos and photos (commercial or not).
• You may not redistribute, resell or share the data (edited or not), or use it to train AI.
• Full text: TermsOfUse_EN.txt in the download (Japanese original: TermsOfUse_JA.txt).

Update history

• v1.2 (2026-10-13): Uploads without pressing Auto Fix in VRChat SDK 3.10 (fixed mesh Read/Write, Legacy Blendshape Normals). The shaders support Single Pass Instanced rendering in VR (the look outside VR is unchanged). Manual and description updated (counts are now what the item adds to your avatar, measured in Unity; how it looks in the Editor). The included documents now have English-only file names. The GUIDs are the same as before, so importing it over the old version replaces it.
• v1.1: English-menu prefabs (_EN) and English documents
• v1.0: First release

How this was made (AI-Assisted)
