The E-People Avatar Evolution

Описание: I've noticed there are more "realistic" style avatars in VRChat recently. When looking on the marketplaces available as well, there's more than I remember being around before.
This video tries to go back in time to the conception of fully customizable avatars and follows their progress to the point we are currently at. I try do answer how we got here, and why do people use these avatars.
But really, I try to ask myself, why does it even matter?
