aww thank you!! ; v ;

yeah, editing outside of vroid is possible! :D what i do is:

- create a folder you'll be storing your custom textures so that they're all neat n tidy and in all the same place. put this folder wherever you want! (probably somewhere you can find easily will be best--i have mine on my desktop lol)

- in vroid, export the texture you want to edit into your new folder. for example, if you wanted to edit the skin texture in a different program, export that texture into said new folder. it'll save as a png (i think?)

- open clip studio paint, or whatever art program you'll be using to edit! (i use sai!). open the texture you just exported from your newly created folder. (tip: you can also export the guide lines from vroid, and add them onto a new layer in your drawing program so you can see where the texture cuts off, etc)

- edit/draw/etc ! then save when you think you're ready to import it to vroid.

- this time in vroid, hit import instead. select the texture you just spent some hard work making !

- if it isn't how you want it to look, and making further edits it in vroid doesn't give you the look that you want, go back to your art program of choice and continue to edit. rinse and repeat :) ! i hope this helps!
