3D Artist Fuyumidori has been documenting the creation of a male VRChat avatar character, sharing the journey from modeling stages to the current rigging process. The latest update showcases refined shoulder weights and improved lat deformation, demonstrating some really clean and careful work.

Fuyumidori also mentioned they didn't use any support bones. For those interested in trying this kind of motion for their own characters, the artist has shared both the animation and a closer look at the weight painting:

This avatar is scheduled for release this month. Follow Fuyumidori on X/Twitter to see more WIPs and updates:
