The Worst 3D Model I've Ever Seen

75 is also nearly how many vertices that model has.

Expensive model, $1 per vertex.

[@yes3714]

As a a hobbyist modeler, I have no idea how you even learn to create models with geometry like that, while also understanding basic rigging. HOW?!?!

[@TyrantOfVirtue]

99% chance the model was stolen from somewhere. And then it was editted a lot. The way the geometry looks like it was decimated really heavily. Decimate basically keeps the shape of the model but removes parts that dont change the shape. It's really great of making LOD's.

[@WillShackAttack]

I thought this video would teach me how to make my own model instead of spend money on someone else to make one for me. Instead I was taught that some modelers are just terrible. But not Shonzo.

[@PandoraParoru]

Let me give you a hint never commision anyone to make u a model all the parts that are mostly used are taken by deviantart and somewhat illegal I can recommend you one amazing modler that does everything by themself other than that you can look up videos on how to make a PMX model and upload those

[@epiclegendaryking332]

Same here but I got something better 😂😂😂

[@luisroman2144]

MissesPitty 。 who’s the creator

[@PandoraParoru]

Luis Roman Its diffrent creators, but mostly seen parts are the normal Tda based who fullily is made by TDA in other words the dude that modeled the kizuna ai model if you know her

My guess is that he applied the decimate-collapse modifier... if not, I don't even know how you get that kind of topology.

[@alex-qn5xp]

I'm guessing he couldn't be bothered to retopologize the model.

[@NemisisRecords]

Its fine if you're learning or just hobbying... It's not fine when it's being sold as a product! The model "looks" good, just doesn't function properly!

[@bilbo_gamers6417]

easy fix just remove all animations and stand in A-pose

[@Kolljak]

ive legit had the same 45$ from booth sent to me to fix weight paints between the legs on their pants because where they would clip they got missed by the weight painting. the life of an avatar repairman is a brutal one.

[@AinrehteaDalnalirtu]

I mean, I'm just a rigger and when i'm usually open for commissions I do them for free. Can say my stuff is definitely not that awful. I can't even understand that mesh, Its obvious it wasn't manually decimated or refined.

[@KayhoticGames]

Are you able to rig something for me? 👀

[@Toxcinityy]

Do you still do that? If so add me on discord xSnowFlakey_#4274

[@bluegu96]

Hello I am shit at making models was wandering if you could help me if you are down massage me on Twitter @mason123456984

[@ChopStuffz]

Basically every avatar made out of MMD TDA parts is not more worth than 20$ since they are not originally made from scratch. Just don't waste too much of your money on unknown sellers ESPECIALLY on Mitch Murder who is known for just ripping avatars and selling them. Also always check for good preview pictures or videos and like shonzo said always check what other stuff they make.

[@viiranen]

the topology here makes me want to cry. like. no ...like did they like sculpt this, push the retopology button, put on some bones and call it a day???? ffs. yeah this is at most like a days worth of work and no effort

[@Kreyadian]

20$ says he just downloaded CATS and hit the decimate button to make it quest compatible

[@Blackskies-b1z]

The fact that he was able to model the geometry that way in the first place. Very impressive

[@cubyhielo9496]

that's just a downloaded avatar from somewhere and decimated under 20k to fit into vrchat lmao

[@TheUnknownAK]

so many people do this, I saw someone in game bragging about an avatar they paid for and then a few weeks later I noticed the same thing had been on vrcmods for like months lmao

[@ProtoPropski]

I had a friend who sold avatars on VRChat, they literally just Frankensteined different free base models together . They had weight painting, but you could clearly tell it was quickly done, and wasn't exactly worth the money they charged.

[@Cielle_Slime]

I was looking for this comment because I suspected the same. whats even worse is there are free pluggins to help with decimation. Here I am afraid to open a gumroad for my kitbashed avis because im scared that a sleeve having the smallest of weight painting issues will make people hate me xD

[@ohwow.thatsashocker.1524]

This is... actually disgusting. I understand that not all of us (including myself) don't keep our meshes SUUUPER clean... but what in the Sam Hell was that *$75* mess? I feel bad for the guy that paid for it. The amount of buyer's regret that dude felt must've been unbearable. I'm not the dude, nor do you need a thanks from a rando like me, but thank you for fixing it... with a permanent solution.

[@Outrack]

At the start I I felt like it was in poor taste to publicly complain about a model someone else had made, then at 1:25 I understood this is a crime against humanity.

[@nikkytae]

I sell models at half the price, and still maintain a level of QA... whoever sold this... hell, you gotta try to actually get this bad.

[@sheol5123]

I met someone, who spent 400$ for a custom avatar, that looked like literal shit.

[@kunekai1680]

75? Where are you looking everywhere i go is fucking 300-500+. Someone even said 2k for me

[@therizinosaurs]

wait don’t people normally bend like that-

[@DeathxStrike18]

Looks like he destroyed the original in decimation, instead of being a "pro" and retepologising the mesh by disolving uneaded loops

[@trhynosaur]

Ow, my brain. I physically cringed seeing that. It must have taken actual effort to make a model with a mesh that bad. A workflow of just extruding rings would have been a lot easier to make and work with. How did this happen?

[@intaze]

that "ALRIGHT" in the beginning scared the shit out of me

[@LarryEdwards]

Personally, I'd just rather rig a model myself then pay someone to rig a model for me.

[@randompasserby9817]

It's the topology is all triangles. I haven't even made a 3d model yet but I know for sure that's not what your supposed to do

[@Zluken]

Triangles are only bad if you are going to subdivide the mesh with a modifier afterwards. All game engines convert quads to triangles anyway as far as I know. It's more about the topology. If you don't have enough faces and edges in a loop, Tris or quads, it can't bend.

[@Motscoud]

That topology was clearly made with Blender's decimate tool (which sucks)

[@bukachell]

One major problem is the N-gons, tris don't make a model bad for anything other than editing and subdivision. Quads on a model automatically convert to tris in game engines. Also, I'm late.

[@nikkytae]

late, but the worst part is the n-gons, or faces with more than 4 sides. those are what gives problems like at the fingers.

[@fabriciodmlima]

as a 3d modeller that is just painful to watch

[@pandoogaming9932]

Ok now I know what not to do since I’m starting

[@matchaia]

ive only been modeling for a few months and... as soon as you went into edit mode I cringed. For 75 this is actually awful, it looks like they tried to decimate without any care for what it would do to the model's topography.

[@Ikaros473]

so basically, somebody put this through the decimate modifier without a care in the world

[@CosmicCosma]

That’s not even bending. At that point it’s folding

[@meijinsigma8913]

As a 3d modeler I thank you for showing this I had to explain this to a Vtuber also glad I found your vid

[@comgreed]

That's why you ask Shonzo to do god's work shonzoSmug

[@neatjoe2233]

Do you mind telling me more? I want to fix my avatar but I don't know how.

[@peagames2002]

Sometimes it is simply better to try your best to do your own model or buy from creators who know what they were doing in first place. It's not easy though for most of VRchat community who don't even know jack shit about avatar creators. Especially hate avatar sellers who never even made anything from scratch, just bought and grabbed assets from others and slapped it together and puts it on own name. Not to mention how pricey they make those asset jungles. I'm trying to practice making base avatar and later on assets and perhaps a themed avatar someday. Seems with this lesson it is better to not be afraid to use that loop cut and knife. The lack of vertices will definitely cause problems when weight painting.

[@letmedwight]

Maybe this sh!t happen if you try to reduce a model from 500k polygons to 20k... in The 500k polygon version, everything is fine. But if you reduce it, the polygons are gone from the important places like all the joints!

[@ham6006]

Exactly and it won’t be a surprise if that models was stolen, slightly modified and decimated to death

[@gorkemvids4839]

This is definitely not 20k, it's 2k at best

[@letmedwight]

@@gorkemvids4839 You would be surprised, how much poligons it can be while it is looking so less from outside...

[@gorkemvids4839]

@@letmedwight I do 3d modeling for 5 years, nothing surprises me. And your statement is false.

[@letmedwight]

@@gorkemvids4839 What's wrong with saying that appearances can be deceiving? - By the way, I'm not referring specifically to this video, but mean that in general, the optical impression of the visible polygons, with the actual quantity, is often underestimated. e.g. I see a model that I would visually classify as 20k polygons, but has actually already reached 100k+... Especially if you take a look in VRChat to all this "very poor" ranked peoples. from outside it looks normal, but if you enable the avatar details, you fastly see that they have up to 800k+ poligons. (Without computed numbers that count you the real number of triangles. You will be often underestimate it.)

[@jjju3]

my *best guess* as to what happened here is that whoever made this ran it through an automatic remesher, *i dont know why they would do this.* but it is the only guess i have, that or it is partially or completely a stolen model, or a frankenstein of different model parts, and those parts were either imported incorrectly or also ran through a remesher. (the face has the telltale signs of like automatic triangle-ing game engines do, but the rest of this i have nothing.)

[@sergiozuniga382]

Mediocrity and sloth graphically showed with this model. That's why you don't do things just for the money. If you are not good at it you are gonna get exposed at some time because of the shit you make and the not worthy prizes.

[@whinniethedank3267]

I watched this video about three years ago with no experience with models whatsoever. My reaction was probably along the lines of, 'Wow, this is indeed bad.' Now, stumbling back onto this video today with an understanding of modelling VRChat avatars, I can officially say this is the worst 3D model I've ever seen. No doubt about it. Holy moly. There is no understanding of topology what so ever 😭

[@jacplac97]

Damn, it takes alot of effort to make someone as green in 3D modeling as myself, to shriek in horror upon seeing this topography

[@TheUnknownAK]

I just don't understand the logic of paying for avatars in the first place. I started the game not even being able to put a hat on my avatar because I didn't know you needed to drag the object onto the head bone in unity. From that I have worked up to making relatively complex animations, good quality avatars with props and a lot of custom things I have made from scratch. It's been about a year from then till now and I know to some people that seems like a long time, but I loved learning new things and impressing myself with what I was able to make and my skills progressively getting better. To me avatar creation is 50% of the game and fun itself, when people pay for an avatar or get others to make one for them I feel they miss a huge part of the experience. I went from having 0 experience and skills in modelling and avatar creation and now I am confident in my own abilities. Honestly you're gonna be way happier/satisfied making something yourself and knowing how many hours went into creating it than just paying someone and them sending you a unity project with an avatar that you just press upload on and had no part in its creation. Especially since regardless of how much you pay, it's extremely unlikely that it will be perfect and without flaws.

[@MR_FIAT]

I am learning how to use blender just because of this.

[@sonic26000]

Well, that's good for YOU, but for other people, time and skill are limited resources. This is coming from someone in the process of retopologizing their own 3D avatar right now.
