==Blender & Unity==
The standard way of making avatars is using Blender & Unity. There is an extremely high learning curve with these, sometimes taking months to get the basics down. Please do not let this discourage you. Please feel free to ask for help in the DEV channels!
<P>
* <B>What is Blender?</B><BR>
Blender is the way you edit the actual meat and potatoes of your avatar. Changing the shape of the avatar, the clothes, adding objects, editing the actual shape of the "Mesh". You can edit the texture, how the texture wraps around the mesh, etc. Blender is 100% customizable but extremely hard to use. You can add clothes, objects, sculpt your own, literally anything you can imagine, you can do with Blender. Using CATS plugin, you can add "eye-look" to your avatar and make sure your avatar's bones are ready to work with VRChat, among other things. Generally Blender file format will be .fbx, but may be .dae, .stl, or .obj. If you download an avatar that is in a ".unitypackage" format, you can skip Blender and go directly to unity, yay!
<P>
* <B>What is Unity?</B><BR>
Unity is the way that you upload your avatar with various settings you made in Blender to VRchat. There is some basic editing you can do within Unity, such as texture swaps. You can TECHNICALLY add clothes/objects in Unity, but it is better practice to add them in Blender, although for learning purposes, it is sometimes easier to do basic things in Unity before making the huge jump to Blender. You cannot edit the mesh within Unity. You have to import the software development kit (SDK) to upload with Unity. This is usually managed with the VRChat Creator Companion. If the avatar you downloaded is in a ".unitypackage" file format, you can skip Blender and just go to Unity!

Avatar Creation

So ya wanna make your own avatar? It's not very easy, and takes a lot of learning and patience. There are a few options that can auto generate avatars, but most avatars are made with Blender and Unity.

Blender & Unity

The standard way of making avatars is using Blender & Unity. There is an extremely high learning curve with these, sometimes taking months to get the basics down. Please do not let this discourage you. Please feel free to ask for help in the DEV channels!

  • What is Blender?

Blender is the way you edit the actual meat and potatoes of your avatar. Changing the shape of the avatar, the clothes, adding objects, editing the actual shape of the "Mesh". You can edit the texture, how the texture wraps around the mesh, etc. Blender is 100% customizable but extremely hard to use. You can add clothes, objects, sculpt your own, literally anything you can imagine, you can do with Blender. Using CATS plugin, you can add "eye-look" to your avatar and make sure your avatar's bones are ready to work with VRChat, among other things. Generally Blender file format will be .fbx, but may be .dae, .stl, or .obj. If you download an avatar that is in a ".unitypackage" format, you can skip Blender and go directly to unity, yay!

  • What is Unity?

Unity is the way that you upload your avatar with various settings you made in Blender to VRchat. There is some basic editing you can do within Unity, such as texture swaps. You can TECHNICALLY add clothes/objects in Unity, but it is better practice to add them in Blender, although for learning purposes, it is sometimes easier to do basic things in Unity before making the huge jump to Blender. You cannot edit the mesh within Unity. You have to import the software development kit (SDK) to upload with Unity. This is usually managed with the VRChat Creator Companion. If the avatar you downloaded is in a ".unitypackage" file format, you can skip Blender and just go to Unity!
