I cannot thank you enough for this!!! I've been wondering how creators make the avatars separated like that in SPP. I have learned so much from you!

[@SpootyMcGee]

I figured this was how one did this, but having a tutorial is fantastic.

[@MasterChiefYT]

This is literally perfect timing omg- I literally was talking to my boyfriend about how I needed to make a substance painter model for my avatar but I didn't know how to and the next time I popped onto youtube this video was in my recommended. Thank you so much for this tutorial, you saved me quite the headache 💜

[@silver9485]

Absolutely perfect timing cause I was looking into this for avatars

[@reimog3072]

Thank you, will be learning a lot!!

[@shezbrookes7361]

Super handy tutorial!

[@iarusgoldleaf796]

I literally just finished retexturing a Rezuium+ Without knowing this. I might try and do this and fine tune it now

[@ShockKiri]

After seeing your tutorial for horns, would love to see another one for making hair!

[@PxINKY]

Noted!

[@CuddleBean]

THANKS

[@janewethz7018]

I've seen ssp setups where they have a head with its eyes closed or mouth open so u can texture the eyelid or see how the mouth looks! Would you ever do a tutorial on how to do expressions like that specifically for ssp?

[@PxINKY]

Shape keys! Most avatars come with them. You can set those you like to 100 and then hit "apply shapekeys to basis"

[@cherrygirl8204]

Can you make a tutorial on how to recolor please? I have my avi and want to recolor her clothes, hair BUT happened the texture doesn’t have ID maps, it is possible you could make a tutorial please? Thank you 🙏

[@Knightfrogo]

ty u

[@zeamonn6171]

THANK YOU FOR THIS WOOO curious tho, i've seen spp where the legs and mouth are open/split apart would one achieve that by moving the armature in pose mode-?

[@PxINKY]

Yup! or merging the shapekey to basis

[@DDagove]

Can you do a tutorial on dissolving clothes or items seamlessly? Or how to incorporate poiyomi shaders to a trail effect on your avatar, or an aura? Love you video... As soon as I become more advanced I'll learn this in detail @_@ still noob

[@PxINKY]

Poiyomi dissolve is on my list of video ideas :3

[@moppypuppy781]

0:53 I'm stuck here. Pressing G & Y or G & X I can't move the body along the axis for whatever reason.

[@PxINKY]

Interesting, what blender version? Also are you in 3d view or 2d?

[@moppypuppy781]

@@PxINKY It's okay. I'm entirely new to Blender. Thought I could just learn what was required to modify my avatar but it looks like I need to learn Blender from scratch. I can't even center the camera on what I'm working on. I don't know enough to be helped yet.

[@PxINKY]

@@moppypuppy781 id recomend the donut tutorial! its a really good and fun beginner tutorial to learn blender ^-^

[@moppypuppy781]

@@PxINKY Some of these avatars, when I open them I don't have access to Blender's modes. Object mode only. Are Gumroad-acquired models unable to be edited in Blender? If so, where was I supposed to get an avatar that I can open so that I can modify it?

[@codiecorelus3111]

what do i do if my blender doesnt have the little red circle-

[@PxINKY]

Use W to change your cursor mode, then you should be able to relocate it with the correct tool selected!

[@tartakovsky_]

Could I make you a request?

[@PxINKY]

go for it

[@tartakovsky_]

@@PxINKY Well, I know you will probably refuse, but I wanted to ask, please, to share a VRM file of the Nandoragon, it could be the full version but without the accessories, I like the hair, and I don't have a PC and I live in Brazil Well, paying in dollars is very expensive, I just need a Nandoragon VRM to put on the virtual droid, pls

[@PxINKY]

@@tartakovsky_ The creator (nardo) is actually a good friend of mine, so i will not be doing anything of the sort Rather, i ask you message me on discord. Do know that sharing files for avatars is extremely disrespectful to the creators and even illegal in some cases.

[@tartakovsky_]

@@PxINKY 😔my hopes are gone, okay thank you very much, so unfortunately I will never be able to have this character

[@PxINKY]

@@tartakovsky_ You will, just give it time
