Bases and heads for MALE avatars discussion.
-
I've been debating a lot and looking through all my files to finally start a project I've been working on and I was starting to wonder, what is the most used MALE body AND head base most people use for avatar creation?
I'm talking about bases that people genuinely make stuff for like textures, tattoos, clothes, assets and everything else, a base that already has a lot of assets made for.
Has blendshapes and blendkeys, eyetracking, visemes set up etc.I know a lot of them edit the bases and heads and all that jazz but those head edits are originally from something.
There isn't a lot of assets and avatars for males in the VRChat "industry" so I've been planning to make my own stuff from now and stop relying on "creators" that do half @$$ jobs and sell overpriced, broken packages to people.
Before anyone says this, yes I know "I could just go through a bunch of avatars and check who they credited as the original head" but no one wants to open 500 avatar pages and look at the credits to get an answer.So I'm asking you guys:
What do you think is the most used Body and Head base people use? And which one do YOU think is the best? -
id say the ace ( misty ) body base is used the most for male avatars , but id say a lot of people have switched over to akii base , id say ace base is still the best to work with as ever since people stopped using panda base they've used ace base . dean or mike head is used a lot for head bases on avatars , i don't think ive really seen any other just depends what kind of avatar style you're looking for , if you're looking for a less masculine type of male id say onion or cici male base with the cici male head . theres not alot of things that are set up with face tracking from what ive seen especially with the listed bases but i hope this helps :3
EDIT ; imo , i used to use the ace base alot but aki base became alot more aesthetically pleasing to work with , the new updated dean head is also one i love working with , there arent may textures that get leaked for these bases but they are still the best imo

@SLAUGHTER Yeah I've seen the ace a lot and akii, I tried working with the updated head of Dean but to me it just looked a little weird. Mink's updated male head is lowkey too big so it makes fitting hairs a nightmare. I appreciate your opinion, definitely agree with what you're saying, I'm still curious about other's though.

Honestly, when it comes to BOOTH, Minase seems to be the most popular and seemingly has the most support. So whenever I grab an outfit for Minase, I painstakingly have to retro-fit everything (including hair) for other BOOTH boy avatars.
