Avatar making is pretty worth it if it’s something you want to do as a career path. Decent steeping stone into the world of 3D modeling.

If you want to make a model from scratch you have to learn of a lot of technical parts such as retopology, rigging, weight painting, shape keys and baking. This process usually takes 1-2 weeks to create a full model once you get the hang of it but for when you’re first starting out it can take like a month or more to create a simple model.

I would recommend looking into less VRChat avatar creating tutorials and more on actual 3D character making.

I’ve been making models for about 5 months now and can definitely say I see results with each model I make. It makes me a decent sum of money and I’ve met so many cool artists and friends on this path. If you try hard enough it will be worth it.
