After exporting your model I highly recommend exiting Blender WITHOUT SAVING.

For me this resulted in an unacceptable level of mesh problems so I have been manually decimating my meshes.

A workaround is to set Overlap Fix to Reproject and have CATs regenerate the UV maps at the cost of reducing quality.

It seems that if some portion of your model does not have a UV map CATs throws and error

I have had some trouble getting baking to work correctly.

For a final export CATs > Bake is a more advanced tool and may be more appropriate.

If CATs complains about excessive polygons see Model Size and Decimation.

Save this atlas to a file and remember its location.

You may need to install the additional material combiner addon.

Use CATs tool to atlas your materials into one png file.

If you want to undo in the future you can run CATs > Model Options > Separate By.

Run CATs > Model Options > Join Meshes > All.

Use CATs tool to merge all meshes into one (Is one the right number?).

If this doesn't fix the problem just turn off back face culling in the material options.

If the mesh faces have face normals pointing inwards they may be culled.

FBX files contain the meshes and materials for an avatar and can be imported right to Blender for modeling.

From here you can upload to VRChat or find the avatar file in the unity project folder and export it for modeling in Blender.

Unity packages can be directly imported into Unity Assets > Import Package > Custom Package.

Models seems to commonly distributed as either full Unity packages or FBX models.

If you're looking to start with just a body and add custom clothes/hair, the search terms MMD base and TDA base may be helpful.

For completed avatar models, items, and avatar parts try searching VRCModes and Deviant Art.

PHIA of The Virtual Reality Show also has some good resources on working with VRoid models.

I'd recommend Aggrotard and Rainhet Chaneru on YouTube for instructional videos on avatar modeling.

Its a shit ton of work to build a full custom avatar.

Try pressing N if you don't see this toolbar.

In the Layout view a new tabbed item CATs should appear in the toolbar along the right side of the viewport.

Refresh your add-ons list and check the Cats Blender Plugin item to enable it for this project.

Install the plugin by going to Blender > Edit > Preferences > Addons > Install and selecting the zip file.

Pretty much every step of this process will use some function from CATs. This add-on is an absolute life saver in helping to prepare avatars for uploading to VRChat.

Download the CATS add-on for blender as a zip file.

Download and install the latest version of Blender.

Import the SDK into your Unity Project via Assets > Import Package > Custom Package.

Download the latest VRChat avatar SDK from the VRChat website.

Create an open a new unity project in Unity Hub Projects > New Project.

#How to install vrchat models blender license

Activate a free Unity license in Unity Hub Settings > License Management > Activate New License.A link to the currently supported version can be found on the VRChat Guides VRChat only supports a very specific unity version at a time. We'll also need some plugins/add-ons for both programs. To configure and upload avatars for VRChat you'll need Unity game engine. To create custom VRChat avatars you'll need a modeling program such as the popular Blender or an application like VRoid Studio, we'll be using Blender. VR Chat Avatar Development Notes Getting Started
