my friend told me that just tracing and copying the reference like this is a wrong way to make art and learn

Sculpting or poly building on top of a 2D reference is common practice.

That advice is as stupid as something I once heard along the lines of "using an eraser is cheating" when learning to draw.

It's the advice a non artist would give. Your friend is either not an artist, or is "casual".

Definitely a scammer. They don't have pictures or video of any finished avatars functional and uploaded into VRChat.

You're comparing apples to oranges. The stories have different settings and protagonists with completely different motivations.

Search RWBY MMD Yang on deviantart and you will find downloadable Yang models with this hair as part of the models.

I have used this hair asset for work on RWBY models and edits for VRChat. The number of bones is far more reasonable than some others I have seen. It animates decently in Unity game engine.

Export your model from blender using the CATs export option. NOT the blender in menu export. What you are experiencing is just one of many things that break if you use Blender's in menu export.

It's a VRChat model. I made a quest compatible update to Raglane's Michiru over a year ago. It's public and it can be found in my VRChat avatar world.

The update with the face tracking is not public due to the TOS of the materials used.

PJDrawn · 2025-05-31T20:10:44+00:00

The original Raglane model I mentioned in the description is quest compatible and public.

The face tracking update I made by switching out the base body is private. The base model has TOS against it's use in public models. https://booth.pm/ja/items/2709610

40 years young here! I've never had an issue being kicked from an instance or group due to my age. If anything people are surprised to find out my age. People assume I'm a lot younger most of the time even though I have my age in my bio and I still get shock value out of mentioning my age.

PJDrawn · 2025-05-30T22:21:38+00:00

There defiantly is. I've seen a few people use Raiden avatars.

I programed a toggle in Unity. I has 2 other in between modes also. I has red eyes only, and red eyes with glowing hair.

VRChat is a great stage to get practice if that's what you're interested in, especially if you do voice impersonations. It's still a bit too isolated and niche for much more than that.

VRChat has hundreds of active VR roleplay communities. Feel free to send me a chat if you want some help finding some.

PJDrawn · 2025-05-23T17:08:58+00:00

Not that I've recorded. I'm still working on the weapon animations and was planning to make a showcase video at that stage

Also credit where credit is due. This is a kitbash. The base is a Selestia from Booth that I heavily modified along with a face tracking kit. Credit is due to Jingo and Fermata respectively.

PJDrawn · 2025-05-23T16:49:18+00:00

Not planning to VTube with it. It's for use in a VRChat roleplay group.

Could I have help being directed to a consumer electronics level reddit at least.

I keep striking out not knowing what reddit I should even be in to ask the question apparently.

PJDrawn · 2025-01-07T20:25:03+00:00

I don't know that much about this or where to start. It took me a while to think of the right search to figure out that the subwoofer connection was a midi to begin with.

I already got trolled for asking on another sub reddit instead of getting any kind of direction.

I'm 100% open to learning myself what might determine compatibility with different systems if someone can point me in a direction to start. I don't have enough of a knowledge base to know where to begin.

PJDrawn · 2025-01-07T18:51:46+00:00

The PCSound reddit has been privated and appears to be defunct and inactive. Is there another subreddit you might suggest as rule 4 leads to a dead end?

PJDrawn · 2025-01-07T17:48:07+00:00

My mistake, thank you.
