After completing that step, a fellow student, that also took the course, and I used the phone app Trnio to photograph each other’s heads. Out of these photos the app formed a 3D scan of our upper bodies as an OBJ file. | After completing that step, a fellow student, that also took the course, and I used the phone app Trnio to photograph each other’s heads.

The next step was to utilize MeshLab to edit both models. I trimmed of some parts from my 3D head scan that were not needed, like the chest and the shoulders. I also cut of the head from the MakeHuman character, so the other head could be attached easier. After trimming the models, I rotated my 3D scanned head into the right place and adjusted the size. I trimmed of some more unnecessary parts and smoothed out rough edges. | The next step was to utilize MeshLab to edit both models.

Also using Blender, I rigged my character and exported the model as a FBX file. Avatars for VR-Chat need a certain bone structure so they can be imported properly. Without a rig important features and animations wouldn’t work. | Also using Blender, I rigged my character and exported the model as a FBX file.

Inside of the project assets I set the rig of the model to humanoid and checked if it was working correctly. Afterwards I dragged to my avatar into the scene. In the Hierarchy window I added the right textures to the Skinnned Mesh Renderer of this model. I also added a new Component, the VRC Descriptor in the Inspector tab. For my character I only used the descriptor to set up the viewpoint for the camera the player would look out of when using the avatar. | ||
