<p dir="auto">In my final post (<a href="https://forum.ripper.store/post/1551543">https://forum.ripper.store/post/1551543</a>), I mentioned someone recognized me in the avatar and offered to improve it.</p>
<p dir="auto">Well, today is the day she is now okay with me sharing it. She'd rather not be credited.</p>
<p dir="auto"><strong>The Original</strong><br />
<img src="https://imgur.com/XfcCsl1.png" alt="the original Meru" class=" img-fluid img-markdown" /></p>
<p dir="auto"><strong>The Improved Version</strong><br />
<img src="https://imgur.com/8gGIP3j.png" alt="meru in a bikini" class=" img-fluid img-markdown" /></p>
<p dir="auto">The new Avatar improves on my original Meru with:</p>
<ul>
<li>Cleaner export package</li>
<li>Better shaders</li>
<li>Better lighting</li>
<li>Better nails</li>
<li>Hair Physics</li>
<li>Tail Physics</li>
<li>Better looking gock</li>
<li>Significantly more optimized</li>
<li>Quest version possible (assembly required)</li>
</ul>
<p dir="auto">Now, the final version of the Base just came out, but I have made a ton with the older base as well I will share.</p>
<p dir="auto"><strong>The Final Version Of The PC Base Is Here:</strong> <a href="/login" class="hide-to-guest">[register or login to view this hidden content]</a></p>
<p dir="auto">The base requires only these dependencies:</p>
<ul>
<li>Poiyomi Toon 9.3.63</li>
<li>VRCFury 1.1285.0</li>
<li>MA 1.16.2</li>
<li>NDMF 1.11.0</li>
<li>Possibly Liltoon, depending on clothing used.</li>
</ul>
<p dir="auto"><strong>This Avatar is a Milltina Base and is compatible with almost all Milltina Assests. Just change their scale to 1.2</strong></p>
<p dir="auto"><strong>This is JUST the base, no clothing included, add your own as you would a normal Milltina, this uses the kisekae FX controller already. Quest version is possible but you're on your own for it with VRCQuestTools.</strong></p>

<p dir="auto">Sample video with the fixed hair and face (also, why is it so hard to find a place for anonymous video uploading? Had to make a burner account on a site no one uses): removed</p>
<p dir="auto">I didn't finish it, but I'll put this up for now those waiting. It has the fixed head and some outfits. Maybe it fixes the issue with the FT?</p>
<p dir="auto">Might do an update later when I add more. Like putting on the canon Meru outfits, but I haven't used those in a while tbh. Ended up just using her as a dress-up doll since she was the first model I really made custom and bling. More use it out of that sentimentality.</p>
<p dir="auto">There are more outfits in the file, if you want to put them on yourselves.</p>
<p dir="auto">Base is still Milltina and it uses the "adultified" prefab so outfits not using MA need to be set to 1.2 to fit. Also, if you increase her breast size you'll need to manually redo her marshmellow PB (just move the phone so the tip sits on her nipple and it will work).</p>
<p dir="auto">Also, I didn't bother taking off my blueprint so you'll need to remove that to upload.</p>
<p dir="auto"><a href="/login" class="hide-to-guest">[register or login to view this hidden content]</a></p>
<p dir="auto">These are the dependencies.</p>

<p dir="auto">It seems I misread your comment.</p>
<p dir="auto">You see, what you are asking for...well, I now realize I did the wrong thing. I found a way to re-engage the MMD blendshapes and someone said that should help with facetracking. But, the eyes would need an overhaul to work for FT, I think.</p>
<p dir="auto"><a href="https://imgur.com/jKAWW6t.mp4" rel="nofollow ugc">https://imgur.com/jKAWW6t.mp4</a> - video of it in action</p>
<p dir="auto">Unless this does work for you.</p>
<p dir="auto">Regardless, when cleaned up, I will give everyone this new version with MMD compatibility.</p>

I really appreciate the hard work it is really well done ! But i wonder if you could just put an update with blendshapes for eyes up, eyes down, eyes left eyes right ? In order to put a custom face tracking ? Would be epic</p>

You just need to make a toggle that changes the blendshapes of Milltina_body or move the blendshape manually in the inspector if you just want it changed one way and never changed back.</p>
<p dir="auto">Not all of the clothes you will find for Milltina will use all of her chest blendshapes.</p>
<p dir="auto">As for linking them, you need to link with either VRCfury (not optimal) or MA (optimal).</p>
