cel-shading in vroid for beginners!

hello everybuddy! a lot has changed since my first video, vroid has become a whole new program and has become much more accessible then its first iteration so i felt it was a good time to release a new beginners video to show how i work!
support the music!

Thank you from the bottom of my heart, getting a decent looking model for me was such a daunting task, but I didn't want to have someone else do my first model because I wanted to both understand the process, and use some of those art skills I have been neglecting for the last 15 years. I now look forward to some really fun hyper focused activities doing things with my model, especially since I put it off for a year.

[@melaniel561]

Thank you for this tutorial! I feel inspired! I completed my first vrchat avatar but hated how vroidy the textures & facial features were. Didn’t realize how detailed you can get with it! I’m gonna start a new one from scratch & take my time like you! Thank you for the inspiration!’

[@Its_A_Gundam]

This must have been uploaded just a few hours after I stopped researching how to do cell shading. Two days later and here it is! Easily the best explanation I have come across.

[@ph-enrenaich.951]

Okay, thank you. I always wondered how people make the 2d looking avatars with cel shading, and thank you for this tutorial.

[@galaxiplasam6633]

You posted this right when I was looking for it! Thank you soso much!!

[@irkluna]

Thanks a lot, i've been learining vroid for a few months now and this tutorial just fell from heavens!

[@YoriaVT]

Excellent tutorial! I would maybe recommend turning down the background music, it was a bit too loud and distracted from your voice. Otherwise looking forward to more!

[@buwakuda]

Yeah! Sorry about that, I'll work on fixing that on later videos

[@Zamu273]

@@buwakuda sound mixing is always a pain so it's understandable

[@jonathanerich]

​@@buwakuda I loved the music

[@Joe_334]

I am just getting into these. I keep making models with washed out faces with absolutely no textures whatsoever. I keep forgetting this isn't Graffiti Kingdom, and there is no color limit. This is some brilliant software for what just looks like a characters creation screen from a video game.

[@XatxiFly]

Nicely done, thank you! And personally I found the music a good vibe

[@Arekuch]

wah thank you for this tutorial! it really helped me with understanding more about vroid studio

[@iristhechubbykitsune2828]

Thank you so much for this tutorial, it gives me ideas on how to improve my existing model, which isn't bad but I think some cell shading would improve it! I'm no artist so I really appreciate artists showing how to customize and design things ♥

[@0THELLOV0NRY4N]

Tysm for this tutorial! this helped me so much with my model building skills and it was very easy to follow along to, im looking forward to future content!

[@MisoSanSoup]

THIS IS SO USEFUL! I've been trying to figure out how hair textures work for a while and why the heck they look so wonky and not unified! Thank you so much!

[@ZeroChronicles01]

Honestly this is very good! I love cell shading, but honestly I don't like dealing with materials in unity and stuff

[@naiommajo]

HELLOOO I SAW UR REDDIT POST IM GLAD I FOUND THE VIDEO

[@eliecergrisales7532]

thanks to you I was able to improve my vroid model and now it looks great

[@jkirstyn]

I just went to your channel and I want to say that your avatar is ADORABLE!! 🥺💗 Oh, yes. Tutorial also was very useful for me. Thank you sm!

[@moonmoonanimates]

THIS IS SO FREAKING HELPFUL!!!

[@zindayn]

Absolutely amazing work, very talented, and a very useful tutorial thank you for making this.

[@momotakaito]

this is exactly what i needed! thank you !

[@MsZyraMMD]

I give respect to thoes who can draw clean lines in VRoid Studio because I cant even

[@sleepykittyMMD]

I’m gonna go try this out in a moment on a magical girl vroid

[@hl-river8580]

FOUND YOU

[@Lyn_dm]

Thank you. Super cute model btw

[@RedlineTougeJapan]

This is soo much easier than editing normals in blender

[@galaxyarchway5422]

The fact that you did this in like, 30 or so minutes is crazy! It looks beautiful! Now I want to make one, but I have a terrible computer, lol.

[@Kymen_d]

thank youu !! in german we would say ich küss dein herz

[@Crystalkitzoku]

yo!! this really helped me!

[@jonathanerich]

Thank you very much, helped me a lot!

[@nemu1069]

heloo i need helpp TT, my hair isnt showing any outline like yours, the outline color is set to black but its still not showing... plss anyone knows whats the problem??

[@saivampzz]

I love ur avatarrrrr

[@MomoDearestt]

Is this for me?

[@TravellerHD]

Great tutorial! I can't wait to follow it on my current model; I think a lot of improvements can be made. Do you have any plans to cover cell shading for clothes? That's an area I really struggle with. I either make things too flat or I have to go outside of a cell-shaded style to get more depth.

[@fatcatlord8066]

helped me a lot! thx

[@xLeroVA]

thats amazing Thank u and btw what music did u played in the BG or how do i search for it /(names)

[@buwakuda]

nocti.bandcamp.com/album/lazuli-dracaenas-bgm-collection-vol-1 nocti has made their music free to use ^^

[@ItsBlew]

At least here it is.

[@Fibobe]

This looks amazing, do you do commissions by any chance? (Cuz i really like your model too, I probably would go fine with making face and such but im not good with clothes...)

[@aaa-de8xz]

your model is so cute and your style you do models in is so neat :-) do you have a twitter or other social media?

[@buwakuda]

I have a Twitter where I post my models and art! twitter.com/buwakuda?t=eFpkpcBCLH9uHKN0cV_vyQ&s=09

[@torcheeto898]

Thank you for the tutorial!! What do you use for 3D tracking? It's very very clean

[@buwakuda]

Vseeface! Specifically I turn off "hybrid lip sync/mouth tracking" in the settings. It makes the mouth movement much smoother since its only tracking your voice and not your lips.

[@torcheeto898]

@@buwakuda Thank you so much!! I tested it and you are sooo right!

[@erenuy]

TY

[@Uveriablu]

This looks so good! Would you mind sharing what motion capture program you're using? Im looking for one and your character's movements look so nice! I cant wait to see more from you~

[@buwakuda]

Vseeface! I mess with the settings a lot though. I keep my hips stuck and make sure its set to fluid but not a lot of movement! It keeps it in place and easy to track

[@Uveriablu]

Awesome thank you so much! Keep up your amazing work~

[@vanlynn]

The only thing I dislike is the facepaint layer for my hair shadow goes down with my eyes when I blink I wish it'd stay in place!

[@buwakuda]

Yes! I found a different way to do this which I'll be making into a video very soon!!!

[@vanlynn]

@@buwakuda I can’t wait then 😄

[@gzfirech]

i love your tutorial . and you so cute love it

[@OutOfNameIdeas2]

Are you voice acting? Nonetheless your voice sounds so cool! :)

[@buwakuda]

I unfortunately have a very nasally voice so this made me laugh aha!! Thank you!

[@bobby5enpai]

I wonder how this will translate for making game characters? I've gotta try it out.

[@usherthecl1max]

How do we make hair two different colors?

[@edelwiess8692]

hii i wanna ask, what face tracker you used to make your character move?

[@buwakuda]

Vseeface!

[@edelwiess8692]

@@buwakuda okeiii thankyou so much!✨

[@hoshiii2931]

First of all i love your oc, sadly the background music is too loud but Nice tuto

[@bogdanionutniculescu8939]

How do you make the hair have an outline?

[@romina9743]

When i import my model from vroid to vrchat the eyes move everywhere do you know how to fix that ?

[@buwakuda]

I unfortunately have no clue! I don't dabble in vrchat but I would recommend trying to ask the vroid or vrchat subreddits? They'd be much more knowledgeable then me!

[@notsoclearsky]

can we animate this in blender?

[@buwakuda]

There are a few tutorials on youtube that will give you an answer on that and how to do it! From my understanding, it is not only possible but encouraged.

[@notsoclearsky]

are you also using 3d on this one?

i just started the tutorial rn but goddamn the light mode is HURTING. Please switch to dark mode next time :(

[@OscarMemo333]

17:28 wtf....

[@milob3216]

Like content but the music track is way too loud and distracting. Tried watching this twice and I just can’t get very far in, because of irritating music. Please don’t let your choice of music distract from your content. You have something to say, let it be heard.

[@Kiki-qh7xk]

It is impossibile to hear you with that voice, and with that music.

[@WildSlyT]

is was a great help. thank you 😊
