    You know… I want to do this for some Joke models for VRChat now. The only pain would be the mouth movement animations the game requires.

      You could maybe, make face texture for a few volumes to simulate talking. I would love to see PZ in VRChat lol

    Your channel is one of the best channels on PZ. I literally watched all your videos, but _this_ and rare VHS ones literally sent me to oblivion. I play this game since 2017 and i thought i knew everything about it already, but it turns out i didn't. Such a shame that you have so little amount of followers and views, but i hope you will continue to do your vids because they are amazing.

    Fun little fact, instead of dragging your mouse over the 3 scale transforms, you can press (S)cale with the model and armature selected, and just type 100. Nothing big but it's faster

      I don't know any other videos that could help out, other than other general blender tutorials. This video's outdated since I have found better ways to setup characters and the environment. I'm planning on making an updated tutorial, but those new ways aren't perfect, so once they are perfect or good enough, I'll make that tutorial.

    Hi, would you be able to leave the blender project in the description with the rig fitted correctly to the model? I followed the tutorial but I think I did something wrong when making the movements work, but putting on clothes and so on was easy. If you can, it will help me a lot, thank you for the content! sorry for the bad english haha

      Shoes are just textures, just like the long sleeve shirt, so just take the shoes texture and paste it onto the character texture. In part 2 I'll go over what clothing is texture only and other things.

      Do you just not see the texture you applied or do you get some sort of error? Either way I recommend either looking for other videos or browse forums (Cause they'd explain it better than I could) for issues you may come across. My vid's outdated, but I'll still try to help as much as I can.
