How do people manage to make booth.pm bases so thicc?

Mainly just talking about creators like Sinensian or Denni with their thick Imeris and Kikyo avis. I'd assume it's a lot of custom blender work or a comical amount of blendshape abuse

It's very easy to do in pose mode in blender as well. Much more reliable.

Lots of sculpting in blender

https://note.com/tsukishiro_chee They had a guide on how to do something like this in blender

eiron

decided to give the tutorial a try. here are the results vs how i usually thicken models in pmx editor
Blender version on the left, pmx-editor version on the right

not too much of a difference, was able to make the boobs rounder in blender and the arms chunkier too.
You have a bit more control in blender but it takes a bit longer. and require more steps. Admittedly i didn't finish the tutorial properly and thus had an extra body mesh i had to delete and the head had no armature for some reason and thus doesn't work with animation in mmd.
not sure it's worth it if you don't already know you're way around blender.
And it's probably dependant on the base body you start with. I'm guessing a taller body is better (and why they are using an imeris base with headswaps) otherwise the model starts looking too fridge like

i would say if u take the time u can make a good looking avatar and also prob works better with jingo channels bases like selestia and imeris also recommend not following there number do what u think is right and what you like best

Bump?

Blender is the best way. Bone scaling usually doesn't come out properly or in a way that looks normal/accurate, So sculpting is absolutely the way to go.
