It&#8217;s much like Explorations from last year, as we can choose whatever we want to do for our project, as long as it somehow relates to what we&#8217;ve been learning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For my project I chose to make a vtuber avatar, which is a 3d (or 2d) model that can be used alongside face tracking to make the model essentially do what you do.  I will be using my 3d sculpting skills to add onto the base model.  I didn&#8217;t really have any ideas of what I wanted to make, so I just kind of made up the design as I went along.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To complete this project, I used a total of 5 different pieces of software:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Vroid Studio &#8211; to make the base model, hair, and expressions (I&#8217;m not making a human mesh from scratch, too much work)<\/li><li>Krita &#8211; for some texture editing<\/li><li>Blender &#8211; for additional sculpting and mesh editing<\/li><li>Unity &#8211; to put everything together and add effects<\/li><li>VSeeFace &#8211; to actually use the model<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here&#8217;s some screenshots of progress over the course of the project.  (yes the gallery sizing is weird, I have no idea how to fix it)<\/p>\n\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" scoped>.rbs_gallery_6af217c512cfcSpinner{\n\t\t\t\tmargin: 50px auto;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 50px;\n\t\t\t\theight: 40px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\tfont-size: 10px;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t.rbs_gallery_6af217c512cfcSpinner > div{\n\t\t\t  background-color: #333;\n\t\t\t  height: 100%;\n\t\t\t  width: 6px;\n\t\t\t  display: inline-block;\n\t\t\t  -webkit-animation: rbs_gallery_6af217c512cfc-stretchdelay 1.2s infinite ease-in-out;\n\t\t\t  animation: rbs_gallery_6af217c512cfc-stretchdelay 1.2s infinite ease-in-out;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t.rbs_gallery_6af217c512cfcSpinner .rbs_gallery_6af217c512cfcRect2 {\n\t\t\t  -webkit-animation-delay: -1.1s;\n\t\t\t  animation-delay: -1.1s;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t.rbs_gallery_6af217c512cfcSpinner .rbs_gallery_6af217c512cfcRect3 {\n\t\t\t  -webkit-animation-delay: -1.0s;\n\t\t\t  animation-delay: -1.0s;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t.rbs_gallery_6af217c512cfcSpinner .rbs_gallery_6af217c512cfcRect4 {\n\t\t\t  -webkit-animation-delay: -0.9s;\n\t\t\t  animation-delay: -0.9s;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t.rbs_gallery_6af217c512cfcSpinner .rbs_gallery_6af217c512cfcRect5 {\n\t\t\t  -webkit-animation-delay: -0.8s;\n\t\t\t  animation-delay: -0.8s;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t@-webkit-keyframes rbs_gallery_6af217c512cfc-stretchdelay {\n\t\t\t  0%, 40%, 100% { -webkit-transform: scaleY(0.4) }  \n\t\t\t  20% { -webkit-transform: scaleY(1.0) }\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t@keyframes rbs_gallery_6af217c512cfc-stretchdelay {\n\t\t\t  0%, 40%, 100% { \n\t\t\t    transform: scaleY(0.4);\n\t\t\t    -webkit-transform: scaleY(0.4);\n\t\t\t  }  20% { \n\t\t\t    transform: scaleY(1.0);\n\t\t\t    -webkit-transform: scaleY(1.0);\n\t\t\t  }\n\t\t\t}<\/style><div id=\"robo-gallery-slider-wraprbs_gallery_6af217c512cfc\" class=\"robo-gallery-slider-wrap robo-gallery-slider-wrap-id400 robo-gallery-slider\"><div id=\"rbs_gallery_6af217c512cfc-block-loader\" class=\"rbs_gallery_6af217c512cfcSpinner\"><div class=\"rbs_gallery_6af217c512cfcRect1\"><\/div> <div class=\"rbs_gallery_6af217c512cfcRect2\"><\/div> <div class=\"rbs_gallery_6af217c512cfcRect3\"><\/div> <div class=\"rbs_gallery_6af217c512cfcRect4\"><\/div> <div class=\"rbs_gallery_6af217c512cfcRect5\"><\/div><\/div><div id=\"robo-gallery-slider-block-rbs_gallery_6af217c512cfc\"  data-options=\"rbs_gallery_6af217c512cfc\" \n\t\t\t\t\tclass=\"swiper-container robo-gallery-slider-container robo-gallery-slider-400\" \n\t\t\t\t\tstyle=\"height:35vh;
