Submitting Item Exhibitions - an Overview

This article explains the submission process for Item Exhibitions at Vket 2026 Summer using Unity Submission (VketTools).

Differences between creating Space Exhibition and Item Exhibition

For Item Exhibitions, the VketTools GUI will be different compared to booth exhibitions. The Prefabs shown below will also be available:

• Item Pedestals
  • The submitted item will be placed on the pedestal object provided by the development team. If you desire to display a smaller item, an alternative pedestal is available.
  • The design of pedestal will be able for preview at the Preview World after submission.
• Item Pickup
  • The item can be designated whether to allow Pickup or not.
  • The Pickup gimmick will be implemented by the development team on placement. The Pickup position will synchronize, and reset to the original position when idle at a certain period of time.
• Avatar Pedestals
  • Avatar Pedestals are installable on items.
  • If an item has an avatar pedestal, Pickup gimmicks cannot be designated.

The pedestals for item exhibition comes in two sizes: basic and small-item, displayed as a Cube resembling its size. Adjust your item position according to the pedestal's size.

For details, please refer to the submission rules in the page below:

Unity Submission (VketTools)

Then, using the VRChat Creator Companion, create a Unity project using the Unity 2022 World Project template and import necessary packages. This will setup the environment for your own Vket exhibition!
