"Make your avatar in that quintessential anime style by carefully painting each part of your model and adding texture for true immersion!"
Take Your First Step into Professional 3D Avatar Creation
Creating a 3D avatar is not just about learning the software. It is about translating your personality, taste, and creative identity into a complete 3D version of yourself. While many people want an avatar that truly represents them, building such a character from scratch, from the very beginning to a polished final result, is a complex process that is difficult to figure out on your own.
In this course, you’ll learn the complete creation pipeline for anime-style 3D avatars, from modeling and texturing to rigging, shape keys, and final setup for Warudo and VRChat. Rather than relying on publicly sold models that lack individuality, you’ll learn how to create original, high-quality characters built around a clear concept, whether for your own use or for others.
Across 48 structured chapters, we start from scratch in Blender and build a fully functional 3D avatar step by step. By the end, you’ll be ready to use your character across virtual platforms and confident enough to take your first steps into the industry. Start taking on commissions and real projects, with guidance from one of the best.

Why Take This Class?
As VTubers and virtual platforms like VRChat continue to grow, the demand for personal 3D avatars is higher than ever. Creators want more than avatars that simply function. While creating a basic 3D model is relatively achievable, shaping a character that truly reflects personality and creative intent is far more complex, and requires clear direction and guidance.
This course gives you a clear and structured introduction to 3D VTuber avatar creation, guiding you through the entire workflow from start to finish. With Keeki’s guidance, you’ll learn how to experiment, play around with your ideas, and create attractive, original characters that people genuinely connect with. By the end, you’ll have the confidence and foundation to keep creating, develop your own style, and bring unique VTuber avatars to life without relying on shared or generic models.
