I decided to retopo Kloey's arm. I'm not sure where I picked up the habit of twisting the edgeloops from, but it was causing issues, and I have yet to see another model twist the forearm geometry like that.

The end result is a much smoother silhouette, so I think it was worth it!

I apologize for the lack up updates lately; work and life kept me busy, and I wasn't able to work on it as much as I would have liked to.

Testing today went very well! I think the VRC weighting is all done finally, and I received the finished blender animation rig from DivideByeZer0! Release soon??

Honestly I feel that- It is an incredibly powerful aura

Recently treated myself to getting vives for FBT and I can't agree more- There's something so fun about being able to puppeteer your models and watch them come to life!

Turns out I had an extra spine bone in Kloey's armature this entire time, which was causing VRC to incorrectly assign the torso bone to a bone that was much lower than intended.

I've already fixed and uploaded everything for testing. Hopefully it's the last time I have to make weighting edits... 🥲

I've already noticed a huge improvement to the hip tracking and accuracy! It also handles sitting and laying poses much better.

Anyone need help roasting marshmallows? :3

Ohhh Eva my beloved!!!

It was something I should have done much earlier, honestly...

I also upgraded from IMU trackers to Vive 3.0s!

My old trackers would drift and cause the spine to subtly rotate in impossible ways, which caused me confusion when trying to figure out what was a weighting problem or not in vrc...
