almost gave up on trying to texture models until i found your videos, this was extremely helpful and i cant believe im able to put my sona as an avatar now. thank you so much and have a great day :D
Hey playerfrankie, this is Catø! Making a transition from substance painter to blender, and this video helped me a hell of a lot. Thanks for the great tutorial, and hope youve been doing well!
I love protogens I was Not expecting it to turn out that way when I made itI somehow I hit smear by accident and I don't know what I did cuz I was using a really crappy computer when I recorded it
I know its been over a year but is there a way to take specific colors on an avatar's model and change them. Like if I wanted to change the white on the part of the texture in the top right(of the 2d texture) to red without accidentally messing with the black.
What if you want to do a different body like the long tail and the other parts show up pink? Does that matter or would updating just the body still be fine?
I can’t seems to make cats work in blender it keep on showing me error when I want to import avatar same way as in video I tried most troubleshooting but nothing seems to help. Do anyone know how to fix it thanks
@@playerfrankie18 I saved the entire blender file because I wanted to take a break and resume where I left off. Said it saved the images in the blender file but it didn't.
Most likely the project does not have a fbx that would mean it could be under a different file format or it's just a scene without the avatar it depends on what Avatar model you're working with
PS I now know what you meant you have to either drag the fbx into the scene or into unity if it's a unity package you go open scene or drag it into unity itself it's like you do a photo

Most likely the model you're using does not have a material then after that I can't really help you there I just know if the triangle is there that means there's a material there that you can edit
for newer version of blender like 4.0 dont work very well the cats plugin only really works good with 3.0 to 3.6 of blender because of it not being updated you dont really need the plugin go to file on top of the top left of your screen in blender then hit file then import then there should be a fbx format you can select what modal please make shore you delete the stuff in scene first tho i will be making a video soon thats exspains everything i did this video like 3 years ago and its still a bit out of date i did not even have a gpu i was making this video on hp all in one lol
Literally just did a whole retexture of an avatar and all my colors just disappeared like i never did all the work about bashed my skull it i am so close to just uninstalling blender and anything revolving around this stupid F’n complicated sh*t
Most likely either you colored it all black or you forgot to click on the model again to actually color on it I'm not giving much context of your question so I don't know I'm making a new RUclips video that updates all the information from all the comments of which I've gotten on this video that will come out as soon as I can
You can use any images you want or get it from your project it self this is a old video so please forgive the error in that part check my simple start or wait until bring the new video on this subject
@@playerfrankie18 Or could I add you on discord in the future and you could walk me through step by step maybe? Once I get a PC Imma be brand new to all of it
For whatever reason the fbx files aren't showing up when I try to import from the cats menu. I have the sdk2, and the right version of unity idk what is up
Yes and no there's a lot of free ones and there's a lot of paid ones you can find them mostly on VRC Arena AKA also Gum Road or VRC mods for recommended VRC Arena or Gum Road
Hey, it appears like I am unable to edit the textures, despite rebooting blender and moving through the process again. I am able to use the fill bucket on the textures, but not the paint tool.
@@KingRevvi I did manage to fix some things, however it only applied to certain parts of the model. I moved to substance painter to avoid the hassle, just sucks how expensive it is. Good thing there is a free trial.
this video saved me from throwing my pc out the window, thanks

If this isn't a mood what is
I'm just a bit surprised that that my video stopped him from throwing his PC away LOL

Glad it was helpful!
Normally my phone would struggle to load vids that are sixteen minutes or more especially at 480p. I'm liking this.

hello friend
so i'm a young fur and i don't own the NKD protogen model and I been trying to get the textures so I can use the textures for toaster arena game
is there a way for anyone to send me the textures? it would help me when I do get the nkd model
you dont need modal to do
this any modal works depending on what avatar it is but if ya want it thats different
What if you want to do a different body like the long tail and the other parts show up pink? Does that matter or would updating just the body still be fine?

I don't know which species what do you mean by cats
would have loved to know when you save the blender model, it doesnt save the textures in the model. 4 hours of work gone
um did you same the image you dont need the modal

Hey, My VRC name is stuck at L0RD VADER for like 3 months I chanhed it as a joke and i cant get it back for 3 months :/
ok
can you import pictures to change the texture or can you only draw to change
You can do any picture you want is the funny thing
Hi, Thanks
What if I dont have the triangle like you do?
Most likely the model you're using does not have a material then after that I can't really help you there I just know if the triangle is there that means there's a material there that you can edit

How do u do pool toy texture I find those adorable pool toy furries so adorable but how would u texture that?
i got to the part where i need to inport the model into blender and the model didnt show up at all
The plugin doesn't work on my laptop anymore
Every time I try and import the cat blender plug-in it gives me an error I don’t know how to fix it ):

Before I get started does this work on quest? It only allows 2 textures-
Any platform
i honestly dont get it cause i have installed everything and installed the zip file but nothing shows up
how do i get textures on the model?? mines all pink and it has materials. but wont give me and option to color them
did ya click the modal did ya forget to in texture mode
plus i planning a new video this video is old as heck
No fdx extension files on my model. I have a blend file extension. Had to review several times; searched all assets in Unity and using file explorer.
Most time you need the unity project with the fbx inside should made more clear but it is old video
loved the tutorial but can you like.. do all that but pretend im five? ;w;
Sure, why not
how do upload a triwaze protogen from the blender to unity?
this a old video the modal is a perchase modal the modal ya get on gumroad
Literally just did a whole retexture of an avatar and all my colors just disappeared like i never did all the work about bashed my skull it i am so close to just uninstalling blender and anything revolving around this stupid F’n complicated sh*t
where can i get the model?
Gumroad or vrc arena
Cats wont let me oress the check
im planning to do new video soon stay tuned for that
trying to follow this but the model is stuck to being all black
Most likely either you colored it all black or you forgot to click on the model again to actually color on it I'm not giving much context of your question so I don't know I'm making a new RUclips video that updates all the information from all the comments of which I've gotten on this video that will come out as soon as I can
Where did you get the textures or how did you make it????🥺
I want a different emblem thing but Idk how I'd make what I need

There Must Be Something You Misted Since 3.0 Is The Only Thing You Can Use And This Is a Old Video
i cant find the setting for symmetry in my blender. the tab you clicked on doesn't exist for me. is there an update to cats somewhere?
It's not part of cats it part of blender in tools
I am surprised there are no annoying idiots complaining about you being a furry 0:
i agree
After I click the triangle the pop up dosent stay there and it says world not body
i recoomend using 3.0 of blender im planing to remake this video
all depends on the modal this old video planing a new video soon
is it possible to get like a fur brush for this like in substance painter
old video and i dont think unless thers a add on i cant tell ya sorry
Still Works 2024?
it does i have not updated the title because im planing a new video
do u have to pay for the models?
Yes and no there's a lot of free ones and there's a lot of paid ones you can find them mostly on VRC Arena AKA also Gum Road or VRC mods for recommended VRC Arena or Gum Road
link for the base model?
Can u make me a model for something in return?
My model is pink even when i put in the textures im so confused
Stay tuned i Have a updated Video that will answer some of other people comments yours to
What if we dont have Cats plugin
then remove the stuff in scene then import fbx on top right of blender
You have to pay to get that model right?
where do you find a vtuber model to import? no one really mentions this part is there a website?
You Dont Even Use Blender For That
If You Have The Avatar Already Setup In a Unity Project I Should Have Video Coming Soon For That Too
Hey, it appears like I am unable to edit the textures, despite rebooting blender and moving through the process again. I am able to use the fill bucket on the textures, but not the paint tool.
Did you try clicking on model with object mode then turning it back to texture mode
@@playerfrankie18 yes, it didn’t appear to fix the problem, but instead it just allowed me to use the paint bucket
It could possibly be due to something about the png file I am using as a texture background. Like it’s obscuring my ability to edit the UV map
@@fortemusic2887 I'm having the same issue. Were you ever able to resolve?
@@KingRevvi I did manage to fix some things, however it only applied to certain parts of the model. I moved to substance painter to avoid the hassle, just sucks how expensive it is. Good thing there is a free trial.
i cant find the fbx
ok i did find it but the character has all of the clothes on and i jus want to repaint the character itself lol
i need some help
I know this is a really stupid question but- who did the model and is it free?
It's not free it's the nkd proto this is a old video updated one coming soon
What is a "cas " plugin
A plug-in that helps you optimize avatars and import avatars to the project easier even make custom avatars as well
This video is old I will have another video coming out sometime with more updated information but this stuff still works in 2022
i have a big problem, i cant draw over the textures. i'm so confused and i dont now how to fix that i need help.
turn it to object mode and then back to texture mode that fixes somethings
