Plans and Stuff (Patreon)

Man this got, outta hand real quick x'D. Only been only a month and already almost 250 o yall and 100+ avatar requests. Was definately not expecting this and I want to thank all of ya for taking a bit of risk and trying out this wild project. I've got lots of ideas and in progress work, so lets talk some buisness.

I got a discord server! For those that didnt get the invite: https://discord.gg/zp2dUbRaDH will be where I'm available for day to day needs and questions.

I'll work on getting the next poll up in a day or two, be sure to vote for the next avis you want!

I will likely take a quick break for a week from releases to work on 3 things.

General Documentation and TOS updates

Open Sourcing Avatar Setups

New Backend Deformation

General Documentation and TOS updates

Thanks to all the initial users I have a pretty good idea of what issues people run into and will use this do revamp my documentation and likely move it off patreon to a more documentation friendly service.

New TOS will be similar as is now, just gonna try and use more professional language, clearer policy, etc. The purchasing process and my current policy of always having access to your purchased tool, but staying subscribed for updates and new avatar set ups will stay the same.

Open Sourcing Avatar Setups

Due to ya'lls 100+ requests it has become obvious I alone will not be able to meet the needs that this tool needs to thrive and become much more universally useful. As such for those with a bit more blender skill im working on programming and adding support for yall to build avatar set ups yourselves. This means yall will be able to set this tool up for avatar bases, avatar edits, kitbashes, and even custom or non vrchat related work (as long as it fits into the digigrade form factor, maybe I'll work on something else for you humanoids).

In breif, this will involve fitting a mesh tightly around your model of choice. I will have docs, a blend file, and some demos when this releases.

One of my big asks for this is that

You dont sell any setups.

Have a decent amount of blender experience. This set up is not for the light hearted and will likely take 2-6 hours of work each and can fail if done wrong. I will provide what support I can but I will expect those that take this on know their way around Blender.

Notify me when you want start a set up for a base you didn’t make yourself, this will allow me to ask the creator for permission and organize peoples work so we dont end up with tons of duplicates.

For non-custom/personal work, send me back the mesh and data needed to add your set up to the tool. Every single avatar that gets added greatly increases the utility and functionality. I would love to see all the requested avatars available for each and every one of yall to use. Consider it a big community effort.

More specifics will be released with the updated tooling and TOS.

New Backend Deformation

I'm work in progress on a new deformation system that will hopefully allow for better results with more baggy/loose fitting clothing items and finer details. This should hopefully increase the amount of outfits you can warp and decrease the amount of clean up time required. Here's some before and after's.

Excited to get you all this new tech real soon!!!
