Blender 3D for VTubers: Create Your First Virtual Avatar​

Learn the complete 3D VTuber production process—from modeling your first avatar in Blender to rigging, texturing, facial setup, and preparing it for Warudo and VRChat.
Join 3D Virtual Modeler Saba and follow a comprehensive production roadmap designed specifically for self-learners.
You’ll start with Blender fundamentals and gradually build a complete stylized avatar from the ground up.

Then you’ll move into:

• Character modeling
• Hair creation
• Clothing
• Rigging
• Weight painting
• Substance 3D Painter
• Toon shaders
• Shape keys
• ARKit facial tracking
• Warudo
• VRChat
• Final avatar presentation

Even if you have little or no previous modeling experience, the course walks through the entire process step by step using practical production examples.

Build Your Own 3D VTuber Avatar from Start to Finish​

The 3D virtual-avatar workflow can feel overwhelming because it involves many different programs and technical stages.
This class organizes those stages into one connected pipeline.

You’ll learn how to move from:

1. Blender modeling
2. UV preparation
3. Character rigging
4. Weight painting
5. Texture production
6. Unity setup
7. Toon shading
8. Shape keys
9. Facial tracking
10. Warudo integration
11. VRChat setup

Rather than learning each tool in isolation, you’ll see how they work together as part of one complete VTuber production process.

Saba’s Portfolio​

Explore original avatars and hair-production work created for virtual creators including:

• Gyeolhee Min
• Hinqoc
• Baeksong
• Nasom
• Yukira
• Kyaang

Master the Essential Software for 3D VTuber Production​

A complete 3D avatar requires more than Blender alone.

Throughout the class, you’ll work with tools used across different stages of virtual-avatar production:

• Blender
• Substance 3D Painter
• Unity
• Liltoon
• Warudo
• VRChat
• MMD-compatible facial systems

Learn what each program is responsible for and how to move your avatar between them efficiently.

Instructor​

3D Virtual Modeler Saba​

Hi, I’m Saba, a freelance 3D virtual modeler.
I began working professionally as Korea’s virtual-creator market started expanding, and I’ve since created more than 10 original avatars and over 300 ARKit facial-expression setups.
I’ve also worked with virtual creators who continue to be active today.
In this course, I’ll share the workflow and techniques I’ve developed through that production experience.
The class has been designed so that even beginners can follow the full avatar-production process and create a high-quality 3D character, provided they have an interest in virtual avatars and are willing to practice.
My goal is to give you a practical roadmap that keeps pace with the rapidly developing virtual-content industry.

Class Highlights​

A Beginner-Friendly Guide to Creating a 3D Virtual Avatar​

No drawing or modeling experience?
That’s okay.
Instead of requiring polished concept art, the course teaches you how to work from reference images and gradually construct the character inside Blender.

You’ll learn:

• Basic Blender navigation
• Character modeling
• UV mapping
• Hair construction
• Clothing
• Rigging
• Texturing
• Shaders
• Expressions
• Virtual-platform setup

Follow a complete beginner-friendly pipeline from the first polygon to a usable avatar.

Create High-Quality Toon Shading & Textures​

A cute avatar depends heavily on the quality of its materials.

Learn how to combine:

• Substance 3D Painter
• Liltoon
• Custom normals
• Masks
• Rim lighting
• Fake shadows
• Matcaps

to create a polished cartoon-style appearance.
You’ll also learn texturing techniques that help compensate for limited painting experience, making it easier to achieve a clean and professional result.

Bring Your Avatar to Life with Facial Tracking & Animation​

A finished model is only useful once it can move and respond.

Create:

• VRChat lip sync
• Blink states
• Joyful eye shapes
• ARKit 52 facial expressions
• MMD-compatible expressions
• Special eye effects
• Flowing tears
• Wardrobe animations
• Spring-bone motion

Then configure the avatar inside Warudo and VRChat.

And final software setup determines how the avatar actually feels in use.
Rather than learning isolated techniques, you’ll build one complete character through the full pipeline.
Start with Blender.
Finish with an avatar you can actually use.
