>So it will just show the pedestal icon instead of having some image? 
Yes it will utilize your avatar image (see pic related are avatar pedestals on the book page)

>Does that work with private avatars? 
Good intuition. Yes needs to be a public avatar for it to work. Read the form though we have 3 submission types if you don't want to share your avatar.
1) Your PUBLIC VRchat Avatar id (ex. avtr_cdcd3029-842d-4932-8d6a-5adac2a5cf87)
2) Use this quad avatar prefab to upload an avatar that is just a picture of your avatar. https://www.mediafire.com/file/h07x86uoje3xmke/vrg+yearbook+QUAD+Avatar.unitypackage/file
3) Send a picture instead if you really don't know how to make an avatar on the thread or to one of the collectors or an imgur link here


>Also what makes you think it'll be more optimized than just having the texture on there? 
>You still need to download those images except now it'll be like four materials or however many it uses for a pedestal each image instead of one big atlas.
Through testing and previous experience and other examples like the 10,000 avatar pedestal world that was public back then.
The images only load as per what pedestals are enabled. And only downloads if it gets enabled.
There are only 18 avatar pedestals active at any given time with the page system of the yearbook (see pic related)
