Troll (&fankid) Vroids

This seems really interesting
a while back i tried to model my sona in blender but gave up fairly quickly, ill check this out to see if its easier to use and how in depth it goes

it seems there are no options for chubby and plus sized characters. i shall go back to blender.

I lightly referenced this video on my chubby model work: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xv7sxvjy2k8

there are tricks (use a bodysuit to hide the body) and you CAN use the model as a starting point for a chubby model in blender. I will say for me personally I found i could get the width but not the tummy. I'm away from my computer but I'll share my wip of my friend's fantroll a bit later.

huh, i did think of using something to cover the main body but didnt think itd be possible
thank you, ill check that out

Oh hey, Vroid is pretty fun to mess around in! I've made a few characters myself in there (most aren't Homestuck related) but I did make a stylized Nepeta once.

Ive been following the tutorial for chubby character and it worked really well! now my question is if its possible to put clothes over it or if i have to draw over the bodysuit?

This OC belongs to my friend Ash, who as a primarily nsfw artist I don't believe I can link to. Keep in mind this is a work in progress, the hair is just default for right now, the rest of the face is done. the skin needs a second pass (i used a splatter texture to lay out places for freckles, then I manually filled them in), the two layer top and gloves are simply place holders. I have not gotten around modeling the horns.

To prevent clipping you can erase portions of the bodysuit, i do almost all of my texture work outside of vroid but for erasing masks and clipping parts i just do it within vroid (on the top right, next to brush color there is a mirror tool which makes this easier). Parts of the bodysuit clipped in vroid so i erased it (I also slightly decreased it in size, which annoys me). The legging textured is painted on as a separate layer, but as part of the skin bodysuit. The shorts are a separate bodysuit slightly wider than the base bodysuit, the sweater is a default hoodie texture.

within vroid i laid out some templates so i know how far i can go with different outfits, for the undershirt i'm going to need to do some specific things to avoid clipping. Ultimately you're going to need to experiment to figure out what will work correctly.

that nepeta is super cute! did you upload her to VRChat? I feel like I've seen her before last sahcon (granted, there are a LOT of nepeta models!)

this is a sign sent down from the heavens....... i must vroid more............

so the idea is to make each piece of clothing a different bodysuit and texture them individually? are there any masks for the textures so i can work with them in another app?

> so the idea is to make each piece of clothing a different bodysuit and texture them individually?

you can do that if you'd like, i would experiment with the various templates and see what works/doesn't work, they all have various sliders to fit different effects. Erasing portions of the bodysuit would let some clothing fit when it would otherwise clip. Assuming your avatar is your fantroll, you will probably would want a bodysuit for your top (for the tight fit), for example. but you might want a skirt for your OC! You so you the skirt templates in the bottom section, or even the long coat in the top section or dresses in the dress section. They all have different editable parameters and degrees of customization, the chubby bodysuit might require some creativity on how to make it work. (i.e. you'll need to Experiment).

if you right click a layer and click "export guide", it'll make a give you the mask for that specific template. You can then bring it back into vroid by either hitting the image icon next to the plus sign or by right clicking a layer and hitting "import".

i really want to see some fantrolls in Sahcon's VRChat meetup! There are a lot of canon characters but it's really cool to see things people made from scratch, esp when its relatively accessible if you can already draw. So yes, you should vroid more.

hmmmmm i see

i tried using skirts but they didnt have a slider to fit the waist so i kinda gave up on that

i didnt think of using dresses and coats instead, ill try later
