📋Creation Notes

Info

This section has random notes about the creation process for the avatar and what I learned while making it.

This avatar base was originally commissioned by Anthracite in February of 2020. They specifically wanted the base to become public so that there would be more Nargas in VRC. I'd like to think their wish was granted.

I don't remember much about the creation, aside from the discussion about it with Anthracite.

My first attempt at sculpting the head looked like this. I had overlaid colors in Zbrush to get a better feel for it. Ough. Looks a bit...goofy.

Thankfully I was feeling better about it by my second attempt

There were issues in the Substance Painter file, and at the time, I didn't know how to fix them, so they stayed there in the final version.

This model was made before avatars 3.0 were a thing, so it didn't have a lot of bells and whistles. You can thank A Distraction for converting it to avatars 3.0 and adding a bunch of features.

I'm grateful that people enjoyed this model despite how flawed it looks to me now. I apologize for not being very present in the community that formed around the Toastacuga. It's hard for me to keep up with big servers and the thought of being in charge of a community is still terrifying to me.
