I originally tried to use curves but their tilt values made it a pain to place correctly, so I ended up using simple planes with a subdivision surface modifier. One area that was surprisingly easier to create without using curves was the fancy bows on the chest and shoes. Since I’m not aiming for Oculus Quest compatibility though, I wasn’t too worried about the extra polygons. It’s a bit of a higher-poly technique, and if I wanted a more optimized method I would need to create a simple cylinder mesh and paint a texture that gives the illusion of real braids. They turned out really nice and were simple to position using curves.

I wanted to expand my skills with this hair, so I learned how to make braids using this wonderful tutorial.
It’s made me a lot more confident in creating hair, which was always something I dreaded having to do. Since creating my new 3.0 base my goal has been to create a new hairstyle for every model, instead of reusing them like I used to on the Kyu models. Not all pieces of the outfit benefit from this technique since many are skintight, but it worked wonders in creating the cloak, the skirt folds, and the flopped over santa hat. After all modifiers are applied I can then go back and remove any edge loops that are unnecessary.
This means that the base topology needs to be very low-poly, which also saves time.
Short cloth simulation using a subdivision surface modifier.Ĭloth modifiers tend to give jagged results even with lots of polygons, so what I found best was to apply a subdivision surface modifier both before and after the cloth modifier. It’s particularly useful for clothing that hangs off the body, such as this cloak: It’s that time of the year again! Not only do I have a brand new Christmas themed avatar that just launched, but version 2.0 of my VRChat avatar world is out! It features a complete redesign and should make hanging out in the world a much cozier experience.Īfter figuring out my new method of making clothing on the previous Halloween avatar, I decided to take it a step further and use cloth simulations to both add more realism and save time.
