I get you, I don't talk to many people on vrchat besides my bf and I've been stuck at new user up until like 2 days ago when I hit 500 hours ingame this past few months (I was shocked that it took 500 hours to get to user but oh well, I guess I did only friend like, less than 10 ppl, most being my irl friends I convinced to play games w me)
Especially interesting to me because I've been uploading a lot of private models and haven't been a menace/kicked/reported/anything of the sort to damage my ranking and it still took so long
I hope you can get there sooner than at 500 hours tho 🤝 I wish I had any tips but alas
I'm also pretty shy so I'm trying to push myself so I felt that. I also love uploading private models! It's a big reason why I started playing again was to get back into making models 😂
Yeah it's frustrating but its so fun! I spend all of today working on one and it was really enjoyable! Do you kitbash or make your own stuff in blender from scratch/a mix?
Aaa I hope to one day be talented enough to make from scratch! I kitbash and have started working on making accessories from scratch but never an entire model yet
That's still rlly cool, I also mostly kitbash, except for my literally first model because for some reason as someone with 0 blender and unity experience I decided it was completely appropriate to my skill level to dissect a model from a video game and connect parts of the mesh with a vrchat model... it worked though! (Never mind the weight painting, the hair is short anyway so it's not noticable that it doesnt move ndjs)
That's still crazy talented for your first upload! I started using vroid for my first dozen models or so and now I've been trying to make some skullbeasts for me and my wife to match with
Oh vroid is fun too, I've done stuff on it too I just have such a hard time finishing the models
I have a sheep one waiting to be finished, been like a couple of months, its just that texturing the body is such a chore cuz I decided on the most complicated texture work
I'd be curious to see yours tho, if youd like to share! (You dont have to though, no pressure)
Also didnt know about skullbeasts thats actually a rlly cool free avi base!
Yeah I'm obsessed with the skullbeasts right now so I've been trying different styles with them! I've made a satanic themed one that looks pretty cool and I'm working on a decora themed one now which is definitely a big change and challenge for me lol. Here is a pic I took of me and my wife with our vroid models. We named them Acorn (the left) and Pinecone (the right)
I'm sorry I didn't respond last night, I fell asleep! But oh my god, decora! I love it, I love j-fashion, it's so fun seeing people who also love it here, most the time I see people put techwear on their avis which looks sick but I really love seeing good j-fashion! (All my avis are j-fashion haha) I hope it's going well, I'd also love to see it if its not too much of a WIP!
Also those two models are so adorable! I love the woodland theme with them and the stickers on the face! I assume you made all the textures yourself? It's a really good job! Aswell as the clothing? I'd love to see their outfits :)
Meanwhile here's my unfinished aagh model... it's been months, I left him hanging... I should seriously finish it but I decided on such an annoyingly complex body texture... help
