If you want to get an avatar made, someone recommended this Discord server and it looks like a great place to find awesome artists: discord.gg/T6m9x2nXkT

The $150 one had me laughing so hard, I can’t believe they actually sent you that.

As someone who works on fiverr full time as an avatar creator, this final avatar is honestly painful to look at haha

You were a great customer, glad you liked the avatar! I honestly have no clue how that distortion happened, think it’s an issue with the modeling software I used (it’s super basic)

The $150 is my sleep paralysis demon

This was a really fucking great video idea dude. I kinda want to do something similar to this, but man you nailed it so well. Great content panda ❤️❤️

Wow the 150$ one seems more like a troll rather than a honest try that got cancelled because of the lack of time. Normally you take a male base to blender that you bought for 20-30$ somewhere, hook it up with a face, put the requested hair on top add the clothes and some accessories to it and export the model. Then you upload it into Unity, rig the model, shader the materials, put some cool effects like emission maps on the hair or some other parts, add some dynamic bones to hair and some colliders to the head and the hands (so the hair doesn't flop into the head), save the scene and export the package. DONE An Experienced Creator will do this in 30min to 2 hours (depending on how good the result needs to be) and be done with it. Also you will never get malformed bodies or flopping hair like that cuz for hair you have your preset values you always use.

As a 3D artist looking to expand into VRC avatars, this was a great video to help me understand what people are looking for in avatars. I've played a bit of VRC but even still, seeing critiques of others work helps to put certain things in more concrete terms.

The $150 one legit just looks like if you picked random free assets and made them into a VR Chat avatar lmao

id rather use the 10$ to the 150$ one

The $150 one sounds like a typical scammer, or someone who has overestimated their avatar making abilities. 😑

As an avatar creator myself I can’t bear to see the quality on the $150 avatar. So many issues. Weight painting on the hoodie (especially on the elbows) is horrendous, textures on the hands and neck look creepy, proportions are not very good, overall not good for full body users with that chest bending forward. Actually, not good at all. Keep rocking that $60 one, it’s so much better.

Wow didn't realise how new this video was. Very disappointing about the $150 dollar avatar. They should of just said that they couldn't take the job because they were to busy with multiple other jobs.

For the last one with the highlight they were using an emission layer on the material to get the highlights you requested instead of opening an art/editing software to make the material for the hair by scratch it seems. Which explains why it was lighter in color when they showed you.

oh my god the 150$ one is so yikes

I wanted to say specifically the avatar base that both $60 and $150 is called TDA and it's illegal for anyone to edit and make profit off of those edits. It's pretty common in VRCHAT now i suppose, but wanted to give you a heads up it's illegal to do.

I come from the future to tell you the final avatar creator has increased their prices by a large factor.

Seeing both the 60$ and 150$ one be completely flipped MMD TDA assets, which are illegal to make a profit on, and the 15$ one be made from scratch kinda has me on the floor lol. I'm no expert, but if I plan on making someone an MMD rig, I check the model rules first. Children think they can get away with profiting off of others' work, but that's not how the world operates.

The $150 one 😭😭😭😭😭😭😂😭😂😂😂

damn 150 dollars to be built like a cereal box

5:22 OK, looking at that avatar, as an MMD user myself, I can definitely confirm that's a TDA face and TDA doesn't allow people to sell TDA model edits🤦‍♂️

who else died laughing at the final one

The 2nd and 3rd person literally scammed you since they're stolen content, they didn't create those models from scratch, technically what they're doing is illegal.

whoever made that $150 avatar scammed you, looking at it I just wanna fix it for you T^T so bad dude.

These prices are honestly a steal...$50 bucks should give you an hour or two from a 3d artist..these avatars take much longer. Even if they have a template that they just tweak they are working for peanuts.

That made me giggle more than it should have

I know you're frustrated about the 150$ avatar but im still curious about a real 150$ avatar

The 150 one proportions are all wrong holy shit

My native language is Spanish but the problem there is the prise of the third one. 150$ I assume dollar's, the problem is that normally in all speaking Spanish countries normally the dollar has a high value and sometimes u have to pay taxes when u are getting them or using them. (150 dollars today in my country are 15644.99 but maybe tomorrow the value goes up or down) So... I am confused if that person actually mades avatars for Spanish people or not

I had a similar thing happen the seller spoke English well made the avatar I mentioned at the beginning that it needs to be quest compatible they said it was it was uploaded pc only asked them again they said they’d take a look they haven’t every since just ignored me and I can’t convert it to quest because that would mean changing the overall look so I spend hundreds on an avatar I can’t even use

i swear to god the $150 one haunts me in my dreams

ive made over 80 models quest compatible if you need help giving quest players the option to see you.

I was actually going to buy an avatar from that exact 150 usd artist... Im so happy i bought one from gumroad. It came finished but i was given every single asset so i could theoretically edit it ANY way i want

You got ripped with the last one, holy... Have never created one of these, but give me a week and a box of sauv blanc and I'll match that

15 dollar looks actually pretty awesome

Honestly I just bought the Hakka3d base model and turned it into my own, bought a cat ears/tail pack, some outfits and bam, totally unique avatar just for me 1of1 and I also added eye tracking to it myself which I believe is a first out of any Hakka models

So here's my story i bought a custom avatar from the 150$ artist but instead of 150$ i paid 230$ which yes, is expensive for an avi but i wanted something no one else had well after a month i finally got something i didn't really like honestly. BUT!! it pushed me to learn unity and blender to make the avi i paid for better which after a year of having it, it doesn't look anything like what I've bought and its completely edited by me which actually helped me start my little side business editing avatars and making my money back plus more. So it kind of was like a punch in the face but it pushed me to do something i never thought i would ever do

This was awesome! Good job!

it was so annoying with the hair going into the head i couldnt keep my eyes off it lol

150 dollars and they don’t even bother putting bone colliders.

Hi ! I have a question please, how do you record yourself in facecam like this with you avatar? Is it with an Oculus quest 2? If yes how do you do please ? Thannks 🔥

I really like the 60 one, they did a really great job

Oh my goodness that 150 dollar one 💀💀 I'd be taking them to court lmao..

I was looking on fiverr the other day and I saw were scammers. Be careful everyone. Plenty of tutorials out there to help walk you through how to create/upload avatars. Great video!

I think the cartoony one is really cute 😭

I just started with makin avatars I'm not selling cause I'm still learning a lot but I'm having fun

for me i feel like the 150 dollar avatar's side view seems normal but it was definitely leaning more towards a female kinda anatomy and the artist just tried stretching out the body width for a more masculine image for the front view, but they make him look even more wonky lol Probably did the same with the neck and the hands and added intense shading to it but lmao kinda looks like a turtle with its neck shrunk back

i had an issue with Hex's on my own custom avatar too, it was the shaders that totally changed it for me most of the time and I ended up just not using Poi for that part

the 60 one is a steal for this price ngl.

I can't stop staring at the floppy hair 😂

Bro, you are so underrated.

you have more patience then most people lol

I was ready to sympathize with the artist on the $150 one because like... modeling is hard. and in general I feel artists should be charging more for their work than they do. Then I saw it and just...... It's an edit. Clearly. The edit job is terrible, the rigging is jagged and broken, and about the only good thing is the face and hair which they probably didn't have to make many changes to. That's really disappointing. If you ever want an avatar in the future, please hit me up. I do completely original work for only $50 more and can promise you better quality.

That last one probably doesn't have bad models, but bad customer service which led to bad models and poorness.

Wow the 15 dollar one is suprisingly super good for being only 15 id defintly have the artist do one for me when i get a vr and i want a model

15 avatar looks like my five year old drawing. I am 19 and i miss my first drawing.

I don't think I've ever done a model that wasn't also quest compatible...hell maybe I should get on fiver...

Hey is it a good idea to make a base In VRoid and then export it to Blender and make the clothes and details if I use the oculus quest 2 with it to the PC ?

Like a year ago when this video was made I watched this and then joined vr chat and met the 15 dollar guy

5:37 THEY GAVE YOU YAOI HANDS!!!!!

Them some Dennis Rodman hands

I'm just gonna put this out there but uh, your avatars look like free deviant art MMD TDA style models. not in a bad way but I can't unsee TDA

that $150 avatar they really just slapped a TDA face on a more realistic body and called it a day lmao

right now the problem is tho the base the model uses is originally by TDA ( a hatsune miku model from 8 years ago that was made for MMD ) who actually doesnt allow people to profit from using his base.. atleast from as far as i know. i know alot of people dont care about the rules people put on bases ( cause VRchat is a free game and so should all its content be according to them ) but still tho..

You kinda got scammed, some of the artists u bought from used other peoples hair and clothes, and they use the TDA styled base that has rules that say you can’t use it for profit Also insight on the shader thing for the quest, they use mmd shaders and those aren’t supported on the quest

that would be really easy to make quest-

Peek my fiverr ad to draw peoples avatars or DND characters at 1:03 ... holy moly

I am.new to VR and was wondering what room (program) he is standing in it looks really crisp

i am simple, i see fiverr video, i watch, and i like

I do commissions starting from 20…. And I add wayyy more than what those models are.. questioning my worth atm

Can fiver make a quest friendly avatar that floats or flys on command?

congrats on being the video i watch after watching a horror movie

The last "Artist" was simply fishing cash. That has nothing to do with "I had so many orders in between yada yada". They are just excusing out of nowhere that they took the money up front making you wait. 2-3weeks when they say is fine. Everything else they do about YOUR order is not valid as excuse. They just went for the victims role. Such people should not even consider pricing themselfes so high imo.

LOL THAT 150 Avatar 😂

not even with language barrier an avatar can be that messed up, they weren't trying at all

The 150 is so funny 😭😭

I know of a few people on Booth and other places, but a lot of the avatar makers I tend toward are furry makers. You're going to spend a little more for a custom furry avatar lol

Tbh the 15 dollar one is kinda cute

the $15 one looks like a RecRoom character

so the hex color issue is due to the emission it looks like they had that on with the hair of the avatar

Hey panda! Do you have a video on how to upload your custom avatar to the quest? I want to buy a custom avatar but I’m unsure on how to upload it to my quest

Have no money so have to make my own

that 150 dollar one is so bad. i've just learnt how to use unity not even a year ago and yet i manage to make avatars that look way better in all ways. you can fix the whole hair clipping problem by adding one single script for a collider, and that's it

150$ looks like they sent you a Michael Jackson reskin

Yeah there was no way to quest optimize without removing features of the 60$ one , the eyes and Haj are able to change because of the shader itself

this makes me feel less bad about the avatars i create... maybe i should try selling custom avatars for like 15-20 dollars lol tho theres probably a lot of competition so maybe not, plus i dont have money to buy a bunch of assets

That last avatar looks like et lol.

My first time im the first View on a video

Dude now make a video with you asking for a female and without those rules And see how cute she’d turn out XD

I'm probably gonna look for the one that made you the 15 dollar one and ask them cuz that fits my style

damn they gave you kyphosis on the 150 one XD

WHO MADE THE LAST-OH NO

Honestly I like the $15 avatar

I like 60 and 15 the most

I really wanna get into custom avatar making, but first step I have to turn 18... Cant sell stuff online without being 18

The 150 dollar one seems like a poor attempt at slapping random shit they found. Around that price I'd assume 3d artists would begin to create their own assets

The 10 dollar one ain’t that bad

I would rather just make my own and gain that skill

Dunno if anyone told you already, but 3:50~ 2nd shirt's avatar doesn't say panda, can't quite read the 4th letter, but should be written: パンダ

i couldve made a better avi in 15 mins, thats wild that they charged $150 for it.
