how i made my 3D vtuber model from scratch in one month

i wanted a low poly vtuber model.... so i made one!! and you can too, for free!! wowie :0

anything by shonzo on youtube is very helpful, too

thanks to my partner ben for helping me along the way with all my dumb questions

huge thank you to priichu for being the sole reason i found the inspiration to do this. she makes incredible models and was so kind to help me when i got stuck with the UV blendshapes

so uhmmhmhmmmhhh expect some streams soon gamers

hiya, i decided to make a kinda scuffed tutorial going more in-depth on how to do the uv based blendshapes, it's unlisted so it's a little secret between us :P
again, if you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask me x

Up until you posted this video, I don't think I've seen any 3D vtubers do a tutorial about UV-based facial features before. Other than that...
I really love the low poly look and the face expressions you got here!

[RubyRoks]

I started working on a similar project myself. Loved your video overviewing the steps. Thanks for the tip about doing UV for the facial features, because i was absolutely going to use planes for them. Saving that pinned comment link to a playlist to watch when i'm ready for texturing.

Hello! I love this a little bit of insight on how you make your vtuber and I am in the process of making one right now. I want to ask of you something, I watched your tutorial for uv blendshapes, how did you know what to put? Like the FF CH etc.?

ohhh, your model is so cute! i didn't really think about making a 3d model, but it completely slipped my mind that it could be a low-poly model. i think i might try too! thank you for sharing your process!

Hi. Thanks a lot for posting this video. Your model turned out great! I'm in the process of making a model with texture based expressions too. I'm new to Vseeface and I was wondering how you got the mouths to alternate with the different expressions.

I cant find tutorials to do this 2d animations in the face 😔

[lexi-the-evee]

the textures for my 3D vtuber model don't look any better lol.

[metraberryy]

[Frost-jy]

You stream? If so, where? Also, awesome model!

[hellfiredottv]

awesome work on this :D

[jackdrawsgames]

I've been trying to figure out how to do these mouths for forever! do you know of a tutorial or could you make one?? there are tutorials, but only for animation so idk how to do it with blendshapes! this is EXACLTY what I've been looking for!

Not sure if you still check comments but is there any tutorial you recommend for the model making itself? there's just so many it's kinda hard to decide which one to follow :o This video def inspired me to give blender another try ^^ !!

[ellenlove]

this is so fun!!! you are one cool cat

[grimhildevt]

hi! i hate to bug you, but i've been wracking my brain on how to do UV-based facial tracking like yours. If its hard to answer in a youtube comment, and you're willing, I'd love to chat with you sometime. OR if you know of a good tutorial you can pass me off to, I'd really appreciate it! tysm love the model btw so cute
