I could start this with pretty much anything. Saying how I never liked nor disliked the Dutchie (only of how popular the model got (how I felt it didn’t deserve) and how I was so determined to not use it). But I eventually broke down and did. Yet there was always an issue with the age of the Dutchie model not being updated since the first Unity version for VRChat was used.
Constant issues of people not able to reimport the model.. and the headaches I had trying to help Lightning_Dragon (who STILL hasn’t managed to fully figure it out, even with multiple people helping him).
–
Well that has all completely changed (or so Kaelygon has said. Yes, he made the changes).
And the changes include;
-Working eye tracking (using Villar eyes)!
-The new model is 22k polys, so it’s higher quality.
-New Shapekeys (left/right eye blinking, ‘angry’ & ‘happy’).
-A better tongue (and has teeth)!
-Paws that are part of the model.
-No longer requires Blender to be installed to view the model (no more need to reimport).
Best of all, it’s free*! You can get it right here.
*Even though the model is free, it greatly encourages you to donate as much as you feel the model is worth to you (of the effort that was put in). Personally I haven’t tried it yet (let alone run it through Blender) as I’ve been so busy with my new BF most of the day. Once I do and it’s better than ever, I will try to find some way to pay for it (as a HUGE thank you from me for updating the model).
But yeah, that ‘run it through Blender’ is something I have to do (as it’s a new model). And I am hoping Cola comes to my rescue to teach me how to remove the horns, wings, and these ‘3D beans’ (so I won’t have to ask Erodac).
Maybe even teach me how to import and attach my BTD horns and elbow claws directly to the model. The other thing is going to be the back scales. So I pray Cola can help me with all of this (like I said, at least teach me this shit, and I’ll write it all down in a ‘cheat sheet’ of sorts to memorize what to do).
