Something I’ve been putting off for months (even past the point where I said I was going to do it). But last night, before bedtime, I finally swallowed my pride and got the Dutchie model in Unity. Just now opened the Scene file to pull up the info I need.
This is mainly to (hopefully) help better improve BenieTheDragon Boi. And the results of the dissection of this model’s animations, were quite surprising.
And just to make this clear, no Dutchies were harmed in the making of this blog post. I was given a dead Dutchie in order to do our experiments on (in the name of science!!).
Let the DragonRP commence!
So what my dragon researchers (and scientists) have found from dissecting the body, are thus;
-It appears all Dutchies are born (and die) with a smug on their face. Attempting to punch the specimen in the face showed no change (even though it felt good).
-Examining the feet of the Dutchie, it appears this specimen wasn’t able to fly. Our researchers mention that Dutchies have to go through rigorous training in order to do
so. But it appears this one chose to stay on the ground. What a waste of perfectly good wings. Pfft.
-The breath fire animation isn’t like my attempt. The fire breath system (aka the particle system) has been removed from the body, and should be attached to a weapon (for a upcoming plan of my model).
-Managing to detach the wings from the rest of the body, my researchers were able to discover three key things…
1. The wing flap animation has no ‘rested’ state. It’s always extended. This might explain why my wings are twitching when extended (or it’s just VRChat being an ass).
2. Further dissecting into the wing tissue (it actually made me a bit queasy IRL typing this) has revealed dynamic bone settings. These figures have been copied, and will be pasted over to my wings.
3. An even deeper scan on the wings (and the body) shows every animation has Loop Time enabled. How odd. Our scientists are still trying to figure out why.

RP aside, I have everything I need to make the adjustments to my model. Though, I also found something quite disturbing while looking in the documentation (incase it shows how to ‘install’ the hover/flight mode)…
Oh you God damn smug bastard!! 😈
On top of that, there’s a ‘page’ emote that has his Discord picture.
Researchers, I need more brain bleach!
