before even having played vrchat that much I grabbed the fluffydog because it was free (and it quite grew on me) and went off making my own texture for it in blender paint (heavily relying on gimp too because I had experience). It was a very cool learning experience. I've now made a full vrchat world. I really have vrchat to thank for getting me into 3D work like this.
I FINALLY got into VRChat and it has been great fun so far, though I desperately need a good avatar. Might hop into Blender at some point to do it, but for now, this video will be a nice resource on how I could find something to work in the meantime. Thanks for the content, along with being an awesome creator I followed through 2024 :D
@@TahvoStudio Much appreciated! While I'm no Blender pro, I am getting more experienced. I'm at the stage where I'm coming up with my own solutions instead of having to search for knowledge every time, which feels awesome :D Best of luck for you learning Blender, too!
I actually got started with making avatars through Vroid, it really helped me understand the process/workflow before I jumped into blender. Also thanks for the shoutout!!
man I found a HUGE fave just by clicking the random avatar button in prismics (side note BE WARNED OF WHAT YOU MAY FIND) its a little time spirit avatar and I LOVE it.
Nice and complete video. I learned how to make a custom avatar and world myself since 2018 and now I'm glad that all that pain paid back and now I can do pretty much everything I want on my avatars. I was thinking of making a video like it for the Italian audience too. (Yes there are a lot of Italian users on VRChat)
I always Edit the Textures for my Avatars and add accessories that aren't there for that Avatar like adding a Beanie for Dogkins that don't have it made for them
Been around for 4 years, I forgot how truly difficult it was to find specific avatars back then, unless you had a mod menu. Now they spoil you with searchers and shit
I've actually made a VR chat model not too long ago from the Novabeast base, I really want to make my own from scratch but I just don't know where I should start -w-
Thanks for this video since I'm getting a headset this Christmas and'll be using VRChat & Roblox! (It's already here, but I'm going to properly wait :3)
In my case I wanted an Arcanine (my main Sona), so I just looked for avatars with Arcanine retextures. The vulper one is my current favourite! I did also retexture an Arko Canine myself, but it was a lot of work, and it's still rough around the edges, but I'm proud of myself for trying and learning substance painter! I also have plenty of public avi's I use
While I do have only 2 custom avatar that I paid, I have mad respect to people who know how to edited and make 3D models. my brain can't figure out how to use Blender.
It definitely takes some getting used to. After enough poking around models I eventually figured out all the navigation and tools needed to make stuff though.
My vrc avatar is technically a base, but It was created in a format that is not conducive to use in Unity, and thus I had to have someone convert it, and re-bone it. as such it's a private base. Ah, okay. There you did it. It's a converted from a game technically. That being said, it was ported from a model that I do have permission to use.
super secret method 8: be friends with someone who's learning avatar making and be super supportive and encouraging to them and theyll probably ask if they can make you something!! (mostly a joke, but im saying this as someone who loves making avatars for my friends 😁)
I really wish I had the patience to learn how to use Blender and the likes cuz I have SO MANY OCs that I’d like to play VRChat as. But I have adhd so that kind of time consuming stuff is hard for me to learn.
So I've been curious as I'm in the works rn trying to find someone for a commission to make a custom avi, I've been on vr chat for a bit and been using a free or a free base. Though would like to take it to custom, any chance you'd know any good or decent creators for it?
It depends a lot on what style you want. Voxid does really good lowpoly models. Ironicsoap made my base but I don’t think she’s open right now. I recommend poking around Twitter for avatar releases and seeing if the creators do customs or not.
1:25 first off, "Fuck you!" second off "Poor Tahvo, doesn't realize how hard it is to afford a $1000 avatar!" Since you are a popular furry, you probably get custom avatars for free and probably have no value concept of money.

Gonna be linking this vid every time i get questions about getting avatars
That was definitely one of the inspirations for this video. There’s tons of options.

If I ever make a game I 100% wanna make the models avatars in vrchat, bonelab, and the such
very in-depth, well structured vid, keep it up!
Much appreciated!
3:48 I was part of that Taidum spinning silliness, I was the Buizel Taidum which is a public model
Nice! Hope you had a fun time at the taidum meetup.
Yo its tahvo ^^ thanks for the tips and a happy Christmas!

Hi man Ik this is random but the viso vid that u posted a year ago I have some questions
Can u get doxxed or is it a safe platform?

That’s awesome you make avatars for friends.

Definitely recommend finding some bases that work for your characters
the taidum always cutest
Berry would agree
I have a vr avatar, but dont find a lot of time to run or a good group to talk in to build the rank to upload it.
Yeah, there’s a bit of a delay but just exploring can burn up that time. Also adding people as friends seems to help.
Very cool
❤ My silly little Fish in a Bag was surprisingly popular 🤭🧚♀️
Im currently chilling on method 4 using a heavily edited wicked wolf turned into a horse
while also working on method 7 but very much struggling
Method 7 can be tough! I'm still struggling with it myself.
Do i have vr/vrchat? No.
Did i still watch this video? Yes!
The thing is that I didn't know any of the other methods other then making it yourself because I am currently making my own avatar.
Good luck!
@@TahvoStudio Oh thank you very much!
7 ways to get poor in VRChat
Well…some of these are free!
Who else clicked on the video thinking it was a Mt. Kanjon video because of the thumbnail?
Human Tahvo is not real, he cannot hurt you.

It’s just a dream
I think imah buy VR for myself for Christmas. I wanna be a wolf 🐺
Good choice

@TahvoStudio gotcha, well I appreciate the help nonetheless!
I keep getting people from weird stuff asking to model for you for 1,000$ and i go like ummm fuck no.

Nothing wrong with that
Im interested
