@ALilRotten do you know a site i could get easier models on? i still want to be able to work on a mommy like model
@yokai22111
I do actually. Sketchfab. Find any simple humanoid model with or without rig, texture or no texture and use this video to learn a little bit about rigging and weight paints.
I used this video myself when I first started and I found it easier to follow than the other ones I had looked at before.Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iZBLtooU2Cs&list=PLjE7-SPufMd9tjuWg29mOZfpyKymSd_A3&index=39

The type of models I reccomend as a start up: https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/glados-humanoid-5bb30bb82a5748e7b3bfc6f73649d51c

https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/nsmb-mario-nds-rig-7da71554b9cb4985952f03d46f2f7d32Just different types of models to get you an idea and a feel for how each one could be rigged.

@yokai22111 I've been working on it for the past few days, but it's my first time doing something similar so I'm learning as I do it. If someone else who is more capable than me is interested on helping you then feel free

@anonberry how is it going lol
@yokai22111 I succeeded in making a prototype by searching up online the things ALilRotten couldn't teach me before. The final result was almost what I wanted, but it was frustrating and took me a long time, so I decided to wait until she can teach me.
Tomorrow is her free time and I expect that we will finish this together. If we do, I will make a gift post
I often use translators, which can make my messages look ai-generated.

@yokai22111 In any case, get CATS plugin installed in your blender, it will help you with visemes. You DON'T NEED TO MAKE THEM ALL, JUST vrc._aa, vrc.oh and vrc._ch

Follow along as best as you can. You don't have to go the same speed.
When I used that video I also had no idea what I was doing.
But this is where I started.
Its okay if you need a break or get frustrated. I didn't figure it all out until I kept coming back. A total of 3 years.
Year 1 - Attempted without any help, had no idea what I was doing. Kept breaking the model like an idiot. Gave up every time because Blender looked like code to me.Year 2 - Came back because I really wanted this kind of model in VRChat. There were none like it and I was DYING to have it. (It was a female Tails if you must know. It was cute. Not sexual at all. Took it off a SA2 mod). Figured out about bones, but was scared of weight painting. I seen my friends do it and it looked exhausting. Gave up because I was overwhelmed.
Year 3 - Grit my teeth and search high and low looking for SOMETHING that could teach me what I wanted to know. How to rig and weight paint. Took me WEEKS to find it. It worked out for me. I followed the video like it was my guide to survival. I kept replaying it over and over again, learning, watching, drilling the information into my head because my memory is terrible. I worked on it every single day, trying over and over again. Slowly painfully weighting the model. I just wanted it IN VRChat. I didn't care about the bells and whistles.
Had an issue where the model's tail would be inverted. Inside out if you will. Took me a month to figure out how to fix it. Found a video that told me it was a face issue. (Shift + N) such an easy fix... I didn't know about shape keys yet, but I learned about eye movement and how to weight paint and rig, that was good enough for me.So, like I said: Its okay to take a break. I kept taking breaks and it was the world's most simplest model.

@yokai22111
No. But you could use it to try and do some weight painting. -
@anonberry oh did you discontinue it-
@yokai22111 No, I didn't
