Your model is so unique! I really love that. I have zero skills in visual art. Im relegated to vroid studio. But I WISH I was able to do something so freaking cool.

[@littleblockser8d840]

your whole art style is so unique and I am loving it omg like it's a lower resolution than usual but it feels like it's supposed to be. it would taste like the nongrainy green apples

[@JuiceNoose]

the collection of tutorials you posted to your google drive is a LIFE SAVER thank you!

[@Gburnbaby]

I love how kind you are about the 'incredible' art skills part

[@YahyaArbab]

Funny enough I too started at 2020, but instead of focusing on 3D I mostly focused on Programming instead (I learnt Python and C# + Unity), with splashes of audio and video editing, story/script writing, and of course 3D animation.

[@kj-ng9fo]

you are underrated, you are so good at teaching

[@veryKnightley]

thanks for compiling this video and list! I was looking into Vtubing last year, around may, and nothing was really encompassing the steps from Modelling to Vtubing software; I think I`ll give it a shot again with the model I made around then :D

[@YahyaArbab]

Eyyo this google doc you linked is super good, I am grateful.

[@Villainilla]

Thank you for sharing your workflow! Your style is so punchy and charming! (But please equalize and edit your audio a little more, it was really distracting and some parts were difficult to listen to.)

[@corpusgames]

I was looking to get started and this was perfect thank you!

[@MadeInHeaven10]

I already have the secondary effects on me so I will start to make VTubers :v

[@xgoom1234]

Great video, you seem like a cool and funny guy. Keep up the good work! I like your model too haha

[@TheVanillaLog]

Hey, thanks!

[@GoodguyGastly]

Awesome Video. Love your style.

[@YahyaArbab]

Thank you, this is a nice tutorial for when I want to make my own, I saved it for later.

[@thesaracens]

The video I was looking for for ages 🤩

[@ivanmitra]

your model looks amazing... I Have been searching for tutorials, and I did found... but either they are tooooo lengthy and complex, or too short, like brushing off the topics. I am hoping your tutorials would be good.

[@Rduino]

i agree

[@FishboyAbzu]

I'm here so I can transform my fish twink into a fish twunk

[@Cesareas2401]

I started with blender a year ago, I'm still learning, but I wish get skill with time 😭🥰

[@AaaaNinja]

Hi there! I have done sculpting, retopology, texturing and a little bit of rigging in Blender so I think going through your steps might be feasible for me to try! The only thing is that I have never touched Unity. But I want to try this!

[@TheVanillaLog]

I also haven't touched unity that much except for making vtubers, but priichu's tutorial I've mentioned is pretty much all I needed to know about the program for this specific purpose 😊

[@Satoruu23]

if i added a black outline in blender, then it will show in unity? because without outline, my model look so flat D:

[@strangething77]

The background music is too loud in some parts.

[@royaldarkness8453]

A good video so far compare to usual tutorial, though it seem you are using Blender 3.5 version. Don't know if there are any part of your video tutorial get outdated-no longer valid with the 4.0 version here ? (so viewer do know where to research more to adjust it)

[@MustacheMerlin]

"vertex by vertex modeling" ...You mean box modeling? I'm pretty sure that's called box modeling. Or sub-d modeling. Something like that. But anyways I'm sure there's an actual name for that and it's probably one of those.

[@Shizikaa]

thx for tutor!

[@sagehoge]

if i'm not making facial expressions can i skip adding the keys?

[@TheVanillaLog]

@@sagehoge your character may not be able to open/close their mouth when you try to speak. Also, eye blinking may not be possible without shape keys. However, if you are going for a mouthless character (like someone wearing a mask) you can skip making shape keys if you want 😁

[@sagehoge]

@@TheVanillaLog hell yes thank you

[@sagehoge]

@@TheVanillaLog hey while I have you here I'm moving my model from mixamo to blender and its not keeping its mesh what do I need to do add it back or do I need to repaint it?

[@TheVanillaLog]

@@sagehoge I haven't used mixamo in a while, but I never experienced this problem when using it. Is the mesh appearing in the Blender's outliner? It could just be placed outside your field of view in the 3d viewport.

[@sagehoge]

@@TheVanillaLog ha ha I figured it out it was just user error thanks

[@Frentzneil]

Do you make commissions??

[@TheVanillaLog]

Nope. I would want to, but I don't know where to start. Lel

[@andrew-rn9ui]

Damn with how much effort it makes to get all the physics down makes me believe even more that most vtubers are secretly men
