ARKit Blender Tutorial for Furry Avatar. 52 blendshapes and VRM.
This is primarily meant to be a Blender Tutorial for how I do ARKit blendshapes for a furry avatar. This video includes a basic setup for VSeeFace but I may make a tutorial for Vnyan, Warudo, or another app later.
Please note there are many ways to make a VRM, and If necessary I can make a shorter more focused tutorial in the future. let me know what you think in the comments. The Method I use here applies to VRChat characters who come with VRCFury based outfits so you can bring the outfits over without using blender to move the outfits.
