Then skin the mesh to the bone structure (Rig) and paint the weights.Īfter that export as FBX file and import into currently supported version of Unity (Use Unity-Hub). Then create a hierarchical bone structure (You can find all the details in the VRC docs) I would recommend to model a super basic block model (2 minutes of work).ĭont forget to add some edgeloops at the elbow and knees or else it wont bend there. Move the bones into different poses to see how the mesh deforms and where you need to fix things by painting the weights differently. You can see the influence of each bone because the mesh gets colorcoded. From the knee towards up and towards down the weights fade towards 100%. But at the position of the knee the vertices follow the upper ond lower bone 50%/50%. Then the lower foot vertices follow the lower bone 100% and the upper foot vertices follow the upper foot bone 100%. Lets's say you have a knee that can bend. With weightpainting you tell the mesh vertices how much to follow the specific bones. When the mesh is skinned to the bones you have to paint the weights because the default weighting is never perfect. So that the mesh can follow the movement of the bones you need to 'skin' the mesh to the bones. So all I can really suggest is you doing the same. Found a model and just went at it smashing my head against that brick wall. I learn best from being hands on and that's exactly how I started making avatars. Old files, broken models, low quality, and so on. You can find some free prebuilt avatars on a few sites like VRCArena, Gumroad, or Booth.

It takes more time, skill, and effort to make something optimized so I highly suggest finding a prebult Quest avatar instead of a PC avatar as most PC avatars are just not all that optimized and need some work to make them so. That makes things a bit more complex due to how optimized Quest avatars need to be. Since you are looking for a Quest avatar. Once you have a VRC avatar, simply play around with it and attempt to alter that first before jumping into your own avatar head first. MMD models are VERY different compared to VRC! XPS, TDA, almost any/all random models you find online are not a good learning tool when starting out due to how differently they are built compared to VRChat. Not some random model, a prebuilt avatar already made for VRChat so you can see what they tend to look like and how things function.
