FIXES AND UPDATES: Turns out the texture converter (for quest) doesn't handle eyeliner very well, so I made this super basic Quest eyeliner you can add to the face paint instead. Download this one, or make your own. drive.google.com/file/d/1hFzcv1S4g14QxBgGgNrVR17EYv_OfDHi/view?usp=sharing Also for quest users, be aware that some clothes will have issues with shaders as well. This is something you can usually fix in blender, and I have a short video showing how to do that in my Discord (go to the Avatar Help Channel > Pinned messages). Also the Eyelids and eye highlights don't work with Quest shaders either. Either delete those or add the eyelids to the face texture and the highlights directly to the iris texture.

YOU HAVE THE MOST AMAZING DISCORD COMMUNITY!! I'd been working on an avatar for my son for DAYS and blender decided to crash every time i went to atlas. I went to your discord and got an almost immediate response that tried to troubleshoot with me and when that didn't work he offered to run my file through blender and went above and beyond! This is what every discord community should be like!! A server filled with everyone helping each other, its a thing of beauty!! THANK YOU VIRTUAL PANDA!! You've earned a new subscriber forever and I'm telling everyone I know!!
I cant believe that this is where my Avatar creation started and now I make most of my Assets from scratch. Thank you for all the info you provided to lil ol me when I didnt even know where start
Really nice tutorial, very helpful. I tried Vroid a few years ago and it was hard to customise things how I wanted but it looks like they've improved it a lot. Looking forward to the other parts of this tutorial series! 🐼
Thanks very much for this video dude, I was literally in the early stages of building my Avatar on Vroid outside of Steam and this video came at the perfect time!
Note for Quest Texture Conversion: After reading the free tools description it appears this will not work for male avatars due to he free version being v.2 while male avatar support added in v.4 (God may this help some poor soul who got stuck as me)
by the way guys, 200 yen is a 1.50 USD. A small payment to make imo to make your avatar presentable to a vast majority of the VRChat user base. I bought the v4 version and I can tell you that the masc settings works perfectly, including eyeliner.
The video was very detailed and helpful... But, the end of the "Quest Shader Fix" was very confusing for me, I have no idea how you hid the "previous eyeliner and eyebrow" and whenever I try to follow through with it, They both become very off, and it just overall doesn't really work as expected, I think I'm doing it wrong but I can't find out what.
Sounds like other people are having issues with that tool as well. To hide the old eyebrow/eyeliner, go to edit their textures, then hide the old texture. Then in the face paint texture import the new Quest versions of the eyebrow/eyeliner from the tool. If it doesn't fit right, make sure you're putting in the correct settings in the tool. If it still looks off (the eyeliner) then try manually adding eyeliner by drawing it on the avatar (still in the facepaint section of textures)
At 17:35 does this apply to both the mouths fem and masc as well as mouth inside or is it just mouth fem for female avatars and mouth masc for male avatars along with mouth inside?
When I try to download the texture converter it says running it could be a risk is that correct so far? And should I run it? (For the vroid_texture_converter.exe)
I just really want to say I'm not one for ads, but I've never been happier to hear that there are prescription lens for my VR headset because my glasses barely fit and it's a pain. I never thought I would need glasses to see in Virtual Reality as well as the real world.
this isn't the best way to do it. the easiest and most effiecent is the get the VRM to VRoid converter unitypackage from booth, and enable dynamic bones if you want by before converting the vrm to a vrchat ready model, is putting the dynamic bones package in and then converting it over, and i reccomend something like pumkins avatar tools to select the avatar and enable dynamic bones.
If you just erase parts of texture that wont do it much more optimized (it could be little bit more optimized if shader is drawing with cutoff mode). Triangles are still drawing, but with transparent color. You should remove invisible triangles in blender instead
I know this comment was posted a while ago but I just want to point out that this is wrong. Once you export the vrm if you tick "Remove Transparent images" then it deletes that part of the texture. By doing so it reduces the triangles. Also either english is your second language or you a like 8 years old but your grammar sucks and there is no such thing as a 'transparent color'.
Looking forward to seeing the last two parts as old tutorials don't have much of those what you explain, especially they are not so outdated and actual. I had to draw the skin texture, but now it has somekind of a converter - if I had known it before doing so...
please help why is mine when i first download it there avatars that I am looking at have like pixels around them and they don't look good please respond also do you still have to do that annoying thing for downloading new hair
I have a question about a really basic issue I'm having... in the texture editor when I zoom in to the texture how do I scroll up!?!?! I'm getting so frustrated trying to get in closer to get something. Doesn't matter if I right or left click, all it does is paint.
If you hold shift and click on the mouse wheel at the same time you should be able to move the texture around, I had this problem for a short while too :0
Zod, this is so much better than slaving away for a Sims4 custom content. Thanks so much for the tutorial! You gave me a new purpose to use my artistic skills.~♥
Hello ! First of all, thank you for this video series ! I'm about to use it as a guide to make and upload my own avatar. But since this series is almost 2 years old, I wanted to ask if I had anything else to know before following it (like new updates, outdated plugins...) or if it is still relevant as it is. Thank you in advance !
Thx for the video, goddamn that last export was a TASK for my laptop lmfao. But how can I change the preset of the AIUEO thingy? I don't really understand that part. Also how did you add the quote thingy on the hoodie?
to change the texture you dont have to do anything fancy, that tutorial you linked showed how you import whole hais styles. For only texture you go on front, click on one, click right on material and then edit texture
Try putting it higher in the converter? Like higher up on the face it gives you an option like that? Might take some trial and error. Sorry, not at my PC to check right now
@@VirtualPandaVR That's what I thought but it only gives me the option to do that for eyebrows. Unless it does it for Eyeline and i'm doing something wrong? Also no worries thank you for responding.
@@blastywtf6956 no i haven't. But, I did work around it by using a eyelash that works with the eyeline and making it look good so it works with the character.
Vroid is very known for causing "seams" in avatars when porting to unity, how do I fix this, lucky for you there were no seams in the vid but its a problem how do I fix it? Edit: Yet. Another. Issue. The hair looks like my avatar has been thinning and there is only texture on one side. I am playing this video and the others second by second PLEASE whenever you see this do reply I know im a butt however, please
Hey, the converter isn’t working right. It keeps getting the eyebrows and eyeliner in the wrong position and color. It was working yesterday so idk what I did wrong. Great vid overall it’s been really helpful!
I just made a basic eyeliner that you can use (check pinned comment). But the eyebrow part of the converter should work. If it ends up as the wrong color, use canva to make the texture itself the color you want. (This is better since shaders won't always work in vrchat, so the textures should always be the color you want)

Hi! I have quest 2 and I'm making my avatar on my computer but the texture converter isn't working for me. Idk what to do instead of using it.

Cool brooo i never saw that🤩

Excellent video! Thank you so much for doing it! Can’t wait for the blender video!
Can I take a minute to say that I think it is incredibly wholesome that you are making an avatar for your wife UuU
Note for Quest Texture Conversion: After reading the free tools description it appears this will not work for male avatars due to he free version being v.2 while male avatar support added in v.4 (God may this help some poor soul who got stuck as me)
so what do we do?
Well... Shit. Guess I'm making a female avatar then until I can find something that works for a male one
@@elijahtuxhorn3345 add eyebrows to face texture yourself.
fuck

@@dietaryfiberisasocialconstruct ok good
thank you so much now i can enjoy making avatars but without spending years learning blender
yasss been waiting for thisss
I have VRStudio on my IPad and VRChat on my phone (android) what to do?
Awesome Video and really good explanation. Thank you so much! I can't wait to see the other 2 parts.
At 17:35 does this apply to both the mouths fem and masc as well as mouth inside or is it just mouth fem for female avatars and mouth masc for male avatars along with mouth inside?
as someone who has a learning disability this taught me a lot thanks for that.... imma go subscribe and like the video now
When I try to download the texture converter it says running it could be a risk is that correct so far? And should I run it?
(For the vroid_texture_converter.exe)
I just love that your so specific fr
very useful been trying for a little bit and probably one of the best tutorials
:o omg i needed that vr wave.... ty for the intro
Oh wow, is this new? I went through HELL trying to make a custom model in Blender to just stick horns onto, this looks so easy!
2 years since I used the app and it changed a LOT
at 17:37 what setting do you mean by narrowness?
did you find out? i need help with this.
Yea, I need help with this as well.
I just really want to say I'm not one for ads, but I've never been happier to hear that there are prescription lens for my VR headset because my glasses barely fit and it's a pain. I never thought I would need glasses to see in Virtual Reality as well as the real world.
if u erase every textures that is hidden by the clothes, how will u have it look good without the clothes ???
This tutorial was very easy and straightforward to understand thank you!
I'm preparing for when I get a vr headset so thanks for the video it helped a lot
this isn't the best way to do it. the easiest and most effiecent is the get the VRM to VRoid converter unitypackage from booth, and enable dynamic bones if you want by before converting the vrm to a vrchat ready model, is putting the dynamic bones package in and then converting it over, and i reccomend something like pumkins avatar tools to select the avatar and enable dynamic bones.
btw if your concerned about quest support then, they will be auto-disabled when switching to quest in unity.
Did any of you get fonky results when converting the textures to quest? Mine got totally wrong in position and color
Yeah I gotten wrong position
@@TimeGodRodent After looking it um, i got to th conclusion that it's likely xactly what it's supposed to do, due to Quests fonky shaders

waiting on the part 2 patiently xD
For some reason, jackets with transparent texture (like…the type of coat with a necktie) have a problem similar to eyebrows. How do we fix this?
This feels like the sims! 😃
Soooo much simpler than the 4 hour course I subjected myself too earlier today...oh wait it is day right? ☀️ 🤷♂️🌙
please help why is mine when i first download it there avatars that I am looking at have like pixels around them and they don't look good please respond also do you still have to do that annoying thing for downloading new hair
thank you this is gonna be soooo helpful for making a more custom avatar in vroid
For the converter for quest what is eyebrow proximity and all the other stuff because it doesn’t show up in vroid
I have a question about creating an avatar will these apps work on a laptop or do I really need a computer desktop
With the hair highlights is there any way to make it half of a certain color, and the other half a different color?
why clothes after changing textures are smaller and didn't fit on?
Do you still need to do the eyebrow thing
while doing the quest converter it makes the eyebrows very big on the avatar's face, how do I fix that?
I have a question about a really basic issue I'm having... in the texture editor when I zoom in to the texture how do I scroll up!?!?! I'm getting so frustrated trying to get in closer to get something. Doesn't matter if I right or left click, all it does is paint.
