[@DarcyFBX]

[@cupidrenvrc]

YOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I GET DOGGED ON MY NECK AND HEAD ALL THE TIME THANK YOUUUUU

[@serenitybavendam8188]

im using akii base and dean head and for some reason they wont meet at the center pleaseeee help meeeeee

[@nicolemercer8306]

What should you do if your shapekeys get all weird? My avatar's neck moves now whenever I have any of the mouth movements or body mods and I don't know how to fix it other than going through each individual shape key.

[@DarcyFBX]

select the vertices that are being effected, and sadly you will have to go through every shape key and press ctrl + V and "blend from shape" and make sure the tab in the lower left corner, "add" is unticked!

[@rykersartain]

how do i line up the vertices? i cant see/tell what tool you are using in edit mode to do that

[@DarcyFBX]

Xray mode

[@spicymoonstrips9228]

I'm unsure what faces I need to cute out, since in the video it was already done :c im using the venus base with the amelia head

[@DarcyFBX]

basically anything that overlaps, or if you mean the face mesh just create a circle-ish hole in a similar shape to how the neck looks!

[@spicymoonstrips9228]

@@DarcyFBX alright I'll try that thank you sm!! Great video!!❤️

[@Elysium_lost]

I keep getting these weird shadows once i merger the verts. Ik it's not the normals or the smoothing. I can only assume it's the geometry but I have no clue where to start in regards to fixing it. Using amelia head and rp base. Pls help lol

[@DarcyFBX]

Clear split normals + auto smoothing

[@iitsdmac]

@@DarcyFBX Clear split Normals helped a lot. For Auto Smoothing did u mean enable or disable?

[@JellyChiVR]

What do you do if the verts for the body and head are different?

[@DarcyFBX]

Merge and create tris where needed

[@user-yc9kc3fp3k]

i used amelia head + new zinpia egirl base and tried to merge them but it looks the same as without lmao I'm dead

[@DarcyFBX]

it always alwaysss takes a lot of tweaking and back and forth til it looks right c: it looks a lot easier in this tut because i already had one other attempt before this (but messed up the rig, so had to start over)

[@user-yc9kc3fp3k]

i think theres a new yt bug cause i cant see your reply T_T I will try to fix it in blender in the meantime :D love your tutorials

[@DarcyFBX]
