SUBSPACE ZIPPER

Unzip space. Disappear into another dimension.

SUBSPACE ZIPPER is a VRChat avatar gimmick that lets you summon a giant zipper, unzip the space in front of you, and make your avatar appear to hide inside it!

Open and close the zipper, make your avatar disappear, and reveal a still image inside the opening to create a unique dimensional hideaway illusion.

Perfect for photography, videos, streaming, roleplay, and having fun with friends!

PC VRChat Only | Modular Avatar Compatible

Features

1. Summon and Unzip Space

Summon a large golden zipper in front of your avatar.

• Open and close it smoothly from 0% to 100%
• Place it against walls, floors, or ceilings
• The zipper stays in place after being summoned
• Dismiss and summon it again to change its position

Placement depends on the world's colliders and surrounding geometry.

2. Hide Inside the Zipper!

Use Hide / Exit to make your avatar visually disappear.

A still image appears inside the zipper, creating the illusion that your avatar has stepped into another dimension.

Turn Hide / Exit OFF to reveal your avatar again.

Turning Spatial Zipper OFF automatically restores your avatar's visibility and resets the Hide state.

Note: This is a visual illusion, not an actual portal or teleportation system.

3. Automatic Avatar Image Generation

No custom image required!

SUBSPACE ZIPPER can automatically generate a still image of your avatar during the Unity build process.

• Uses your avatar's appearance at build time
• No manual image editing required
• Rebuild your avatar to update the generated image

The image is static and does not update in real time.

4. Custom Image Support

Want something different inside your zipper?

You can use your own image and adjust it directly in Unity.

Available settings:

• Horizontal position
• Vertical position
• Image size (10–300%)
• Rotation (-180° to 180°)
• Scene View preview

Transparent images are supported.

5. Avatar Scaling Support

The zipper and its internal image can scale along with VRChat's avatar height adjustment.

Enjoy the effect with smaller or larger avatars!

In-Game Controls

A Subspace Zipper submenu is automatically added to your VRChat Expressions Menu.

Spatial Zipper — Toggle

Summon or dismiss the zipper.

Open Zipper — Radial Puppet

Control how far the zipper opens, from 0% to 100%.

Hide / Exit — Toggle

Hide your avatar or restore its appearance.

No manual FX Animator or Expressions Menu editing is required.

How Does Avatar Hiding Work?

SUBSPACE ZIPPER uses FX animations to control the visibility of your avatar's MeshRenderer and SkinnedMeshRenderer components.

It does not require converting your avatar's materials to transparent shaders.

Important limitations:

• Your VRChat nameplate remains visible.
• This is not a true invisibility or stealth system.
• Some special visual effects or additional gimmicks may remain visible.
• Other avatar gimmicks that control Renderer visibility may conflict with this system.
• Your player presence is not removed.
• The zipper does not contain a real 3D space or live avatar.

Requirements

VRChat PC Avatars Only

Tested environment:

• Unity 2022.3.22f1
• VRChat SDK Base / Avatars 3.10.5
• Modular Avatar 1.18.7
• NDMF 1.14.8
• Built-in Render Pipeline

Modular Avatar is required.

Avatar Optimizer (AAO) is optional.

Additional shaders or tools required by your avatar must be installed separately.

Not compatible with standalone Quest / Android avatars or URP / HDRP projects.

Compatibility with every SDK or package version is not guaranteed.

Installation

1. Back up your Unity avatar project.
2. Open your VRChat avatar project through VCC.
3. Install Modular Avatar if it is not already installed.
4. Import SubspaceZipper_v1.0.0.unitypackage.
5. Drag Assets/SubspaceZipper/Prefabs/SubspaceZipper.prefab directly under your avatar's root GameObject.
6. Configure a Custom Image if desired.
7. Build your avatar using the VRChat SDK.

That's it!

The gimmick automatically integrates with your avatar using Modular Avatar and NDMF.

Please refer to the included README files for detailed instructions.

Important: Do not install multiple copies of SUBSPACE ZIPPER on the same avatar.

Important Notes & Limitations

Please read before purchasing.

• Compatibility with every avatar, shader, world, or additional gimmick is not guaranteed.
• Some unusual LOD structures, Transform configurations, and dynamic mesh-cutting setups may not be supported.
• Gimmicks that animate Renderer visibility may conflict with avatar hiding.
• Automatically generated images may look different from your avatar's actual in-game appearance, depending on materials, shaders, and outfit configuration.
• Wall, floor, and ceiling placement depends on the world's collision geometry.
• If changing avatar height causes the zipper to intersect nearby geometry, dismiss and summon it again.
• Players who join later can see the zipper, but its previously fixed world position and rotation may not match exactly on their clients. For group photography, resummoning the zipper after everyone has joined is recommended.
• Your VRChat nameplate does not disappear.
• This is a visual effect, not real teleportation or a fully hidden player.
• You are responsible for ensuring that any Custom Images you use comply with the applicable rights and permissions.

For additional compatibility information, please read the included README.

Support & Bug Reports

If you encounter any bugs, errors, or unexpected behavior while using SUBSPACE ZIPPER, please feel free to contact me through Jinxxy messages.

I will do my best to investigate reported issues and consider fixes or updates whenever possible.

However, as this is an independently developed product, I cannot guarantee compatibility with every avatar, shader, Unity configuration, or third-party gimmick.

Please understand that not all issues can be fixed or individually supported.

Some issues may be caused by avatar-specific structures, custom shaders, other installed gimmicks, or differences in development environments.

To help investigate issues more efficiently, please include the following information if possible:

1. Avatar Name — The name of the avatar you are using, preferably with a link to its product or distribution page.
2. Unity Version — The version of Unity installed in your project.

4. Description of the Issue — What happens, and what you expected to happen.
5. When the Issue Occurs — During import, after adding the prefab, during building, or inside VRChat.
6. Error Messages or Screenshots — Unity Console errors, screenshots, or short videos, if available.

If you are using Avatar Optimizer (AAO) or other third-party avatar gimmicks, please mention them as well.

You do not need to provide every item. Any information you can share will be appreciated.

If possible, testing on a backup copy of your avatar with and without SUBSPACE ZIPPER can also help identify compatibility issues.

Bug reports and feedback are always appreciated and may help improve future versions of the product.

Updates & Fixes
