In Unity, I use Playmaker and it works pretty well for me. My game logic is mainly just simple triggers anyway lol

In Blender, toon shaders calculate a bw mask for where the shadows should be. If you paint a mask for places you want to always be in shadow, you can multiply that mask on top of the actual calculated shadows and then use that combined as a mask for where the shadows are.

Cakeman @cakeman.bsky.social · 10/05/2026

A Blender technique I've been really into these days is hand painting black and white maps for 90's stylized shadows. I'm still working on getting good at it but it's a really useful technique for getting cool shadows that don't make physical sense. #b3d I'll explain in the comments:

Honestly, gradients are super useful for texturing. You can go really far just by using them and nothing else.

Cakeman @cakeman.bsky.social · 09/04/2026

I haven't had much to show off on here lately so I figured I'd show a cool #blender3d trick I learned from the other place years ago: If you unwrap from view while in top view, you get a very straightforward UV map, and if you use gradients as the texture you can get a really cool sense of depth.

Yeah I think you're thinking of contrast and limiting the pallet which is also a solid idea.

Cakeman @cakeman.bsky.social · 07/02/2026

Yeah, I agree that one's closest to the vibe, but they're all missing something. I'll try and go that direction but mix things up more, thanks!

I'm trying to rough out a character design for a new vrc marketplace model. It's meant to be a more edgy early 2000's shonen character like in Yugioh but I'm trying to nail down the color pallet. Anyone have preferences?

Thanks for the kind reactions! I’ve got room to take on more VTuber / VRChat avatar work right now if anyone's looking!

Thanks so much for all the happy birthdays everyone! Always really nice to see

Cakeman @cakeman.bsky.social · 12/01/2026

Yeah you’re totally right! There are other uses. I was being a bit presumptuous and snobby about it, sorry. I mainly meant, unless you have a specific purpose for it, just using an expensive suit doesn't add as much as people think it does and just tracking the hands is usually plenty to look good

110

Cakeman @cakeman.bsky.social · 11/01/2026

Yeah, people are weird about mocap for vtubing. There's really no need unless you're straight up doing a concert. Most streams involve sitting at the computer so you can just get away with tundra trackers on your wrists and that'll already look really good and even that's overkill.

Merry Christmas after all. Yes, this is a re-run, but in my defense she is one high-quality reindeer. #b3d

Cakeman @cakeman.bsky.social · 19/12/2025

As someone who's been there, good luck, it's really hard but super rewarding! Make sure you make progress every day, even if it's just 5 minutes worth and figure out a version control solution like github, I wish I'd known about that sooner. I look forward to seeing what you make!

Allow me to introduce Leah Pard, my first @vrchat.com marketplace avatar! She’s now available for PCVR (good performance) and Quest (medium performance). You can find her by searching "Leah Pard" in the vrc store avatar tab in-game #b3d #3dart

I've been working on an avatar for the @vrchat.com avatar marketplace lately and she's coming along pretty dang well! I still have a bit more to go but she should be done sometime next week. She should have a medium performance rating on the quest. #vrc #3dmodeling #b3d

I randomly came across this animation I made for a contest a couple years ago, still pretty proud of it. I should really do more short atmospheric things like this more often. #b3d #3d

If you're a Windows user having issues where Warudo just straight up crashes when you launch it, try running it in Windows 8 compatibility mode. I found that info on reddit and just wanted to pay it forward!

Cakeman @cakeman.bsky.social · 26/10/2025

Also just a handful of technical things I really like: -Gradients that overlay on the screen, usually from the corners or top edge - Direction edge lights on the characters -Flat framing -Bloom, generally only in the bg -A lot of backlighting -Very flat texture painting on char, more detail on bgs

You might have seen these little guys running around vrc. Acejay is the artist who originally made them and they really took on a life of their own. So if you're so inclined, this is a great way to support him!
