Now that I&#8217;ve used VRoid Studio, I understand that each time that&#8217;s what the artist was using, and it was time for me to buckle down and learn it well enough to get the results I wanted. The artists I commissioned weren&#8217;t sure about simulating facial hair, adding the hair bow, or adapting the VRoid for Beat Saber among other things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But now I have had a little practice. (Though it looks like I may somehow have deleted the save file, so the next incarnation may look a little different once again.) This time, the MeidoRanger looks even more like me and has a fun hairstyle that swings around while I move. And I figured out how to make the outfit glossy in Unity while I was adapting the VRoid for VR gaming use. I swear, I&#8217;m learning more about 3D modeling than I ever intended to!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"1000\" data-id=\"2211\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/gatocasa.com\/unimat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/meido-vroid-editor-1.jpg?resize=800%2C1000&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2211\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/gatocasa.com\/unimat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/meido-vroid-editor-1.jpg?w=800&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/gatocasa.com\/unimat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/meido-vroid-editor-1.jpg?resize=240%2C300&amp;ssl=1 240w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/gatocasa.com\/unimat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/meido-vroid-editor-1.jpg?resize=768%2C960&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"1000\" data-id=\"2212\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/gatocasa.com\/unimat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/meido-unity-editor.jpg?resize=800%2C1000&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2212\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/gatocasa.com\/unimat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/meido-unity-editor.jpg?w=800&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/gatocasa.com\/unimat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/meido-unity-editor.jpg?resize=240%2C300&amp;ssl=1 240w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/gatocasa.com\/unimat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/meido-unity-editor.jpg?resize=768%2C960&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I literally had to downgrade my Unity install: the feature that animates the hair and skirt doesn&#8217;t yet work with the newest. (Thankfully, one can have multiple installs.) The only way to get a bow on the back of my head was to lie to VRoid and claim it was oddly-styled hair. Of course, I had to fix the neckline since I have no maid dresses which show it, and I had to put on a second invisible skirt so that the apron tails would move separately. So many little things to do! Next, I plan to curl the fingers so I&#8217;m holding the sabers better. But of now, I&#8217;m really happy with this avatar, and plan to make videos with far greater frequency. I think we can agree, it&#8217;s about damn time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have commissioned a custom avatar twice, each time for a considerable (for me) amount of money.
