First, you’ll learn to design based on reference materials and begin modeling the face, which defines the character's impression. By paying attention to its outer shape, you’ll understand the basic concepts and operations you need to construct a three-dimensional form that doesn’t collapse from any angle.
Next, you’ll put these into practice by modeling the head, body, and outfit, then rigging and skinning. You’ll gain UV unwrapping tips and efficient texture painting techniques to give your model rich colors and textures.
Finally, learn how to create facial expressions using shape keys, organize data, and set up VRM in Unity, so that you can get your mode ready to move!
This Coloso class covers everything you need to know to create a 3D model for a VTuber using Blender.

Fusako
Hi, I'm a 3D character modeler, Fusako. As a freelancer, I’ve created over 20 models from scratch, mainly VTuber avatars. My starting point was pure curiosity. I saw a character move and thought, "I want to make that too." That joy continues to fuel my creative work today.
Creating 3D models is a complex and often frustrating field. That's why this course goes beyond teaching just the steps and explains the fundamental logic behind why we do things that way. By carefully following along, you'll avoid common pitfalls, and understanding the workflow and application will become second nature. Join me to experience the sense of accomplishment that comes from creating a character with your own hands!

Learn Techniques to Preserve the Essence of a Design in 3D
In this course, you’ll see how to create three-dimensional forms while maintaining the design qualities of 2D. You can’t just trace the shapes! By learning to analyze what makes the original design work and reconstructing it in 3D space, you’ll be able to reliably create high-quality 3D models.
Practice the Entire Workflow from Modeling to Setup
Starting with modeling, you’ll work through UV unwrapping, texture creation, rigging, and Unity setup, getting hands-on with every stage of 3D character production. In each step, you’ll become familiar with the overall process even if you’re a beginner.
A Hands-on Curriculum That Helps You Avoid Common Pitfalls
While doing the work with your own hands, you’ll understand in detail places where you might have trouble. You’ll see common failures and learn how to solve them. The course guides you through tricky spots so you can proceed to production with confidence.
Class Details
You'll Learn
-
Versatile Skills That Form the Foundation of 3D ProductionBy studying the process from modeling to texturing to skinning, you'll gain universal skills applicable to VTuber models and more. Develop a solid foundation in techniques that underpin all 3D character creation regardless of field. -
Preserving the Appeal of the 2D Design When Converting It to 3DInterpret designs and think about concrete form-building, so you can convert a character into a 3D model that preserves its personality and recognizability and looks great from any angle. You’ll also see techniques to fully capture the essence of the original artwork. -
Foundational Skills and Tips for Each Process, Based on Real Production MethodsFrom modeling to final setup in Unity, experience a professional production flow based on hands-on examples. Through explanations of theory and important considerations that determine quality at each stage, you can gain a deeper and more systematic understanding of the production process.
-
Common Pitfalls and Ways to Avoid or Fix ThemFusako’s uses her real-world experience to explain challenges that beginners are likely to encounter and parts of the process that are easily overlooked. By looking for the patterns in common failures and planning avoidance strategies in advance, you’ll hone your judgment during production and spend less time reworking things. -
Add-Ons and Tips to Improve Production EfficiencyBecome familiar with practical add-ons and convenient features that simultaneously improve your work speed and quality. By seeing how to build an efficient production environment similar to one used by professionals, you can establish a comfortable process that works for you. -
A Meticulous Workflow That Covers Every DetailLearn methods for creating details that make the work complete so you can control the overall impression, such as how to manage the look and separation of hair and shaping the eye area.

Interview with
3DCG Modeler, Fusako
Question.01
What is the biggest challenge faced by people studying this field and how can this class help them overcome it?
3D model creation is a field with many processes, so it’s easy to get frustrated and not know where to start. This is especially true for VTuber models, since the process requires not only modeling, but also rigging and setup in Unity. As a result, many people get lost because they’re unable to understand the overall process. That's why in this course I explain the logic behind each process while I demonstrate, so you can learn the sequence and the theory behind it. To ensure that the course is easy to complete, time-consuming sections are sped up, and I try to focus on the key points.
Question.02
What were some of the difficulties you encountered while learning, and what did you do to overcome them?
What I struggled with most were the textures and weight adjustments. I really hated textures, because I wasn’t used to drawing. So, I carefully observed the design, breaking down and analyzing elements such as shadows and light structurally, and tried to gradually reproduce them. It's difficult to handle weight through reasoning alone, and it's an area prone to making movements look unnatural. But by downloading beautiful, pretrained models and repeatedly observing and imitating them in action, I gradually learned the techniques.
Question.03
When it comes to presenting something in for output, what is most important?
When it comes to output, I believe the most important thing is to finish your work, rather than aiming for perfection. If you get stuck chasing after the ideal or keep putting things off until you feel more confident in your abilities, you won’t move forward. At the very least, just shape something roughly, make it into a form, test it by moving it and getting feedback, and then proceed to the next step. I feel that this buildup of finished tasks ultimately leads to skill growth as well. It's about putting out your current best and sharing it with others. I believe that’s the greatest value for output.
Question.04
What are your views on the marketability of this creative industry and its outlook?
The VTuber and avatar fields continue to see market expansion. People use and animate characters in VRChat, VRSNS, streaming, and more, so the demand for 3D models continues to rise. Additionally, selling models or taking on private commissions is a big market for freelancers. Being able to work at your own pace is one of the most attractive aspects of this field. Looking ahead, I feel that the demand to express yourself through characters or give form to a client’s desire to become something will continue to increase. I believe that 3D modeling skills are a real strength with the technology we have now.
