My virtual youtuber video on converted 3d models side by side comparison in Unity3d between UniVRM unity packaged imported VRM models and Cats Blender plugin converted FBX model that uses PMX model exported out from Unity using VRMtoPMXExporter unity packaged module.

VRM models needs to be correctly fixed by this Cat’s Blender plugin in Blender for other 3d software to be able to utilize the models fully unless you can fixed it yourself in Blender without it. For me, it’s too technical unless you know what you’re doing and are fully well aware of what to fixed in the models (aka you have knowledge of 3d modelling).

It’s my first-time using Unity and Blender, and other related software, for myself to try out and test to get a feel of what they can do. This two big software is very overwhelming to say the least.

Note:
This is also my first Adobe After Affect created video. It was also my first-time using After Effects making and editing this video. Because this is done purely in After Effects, I didn’t include any other sounds and music but a single audio track that has a song playing in this video. It’s way too daunting and cumbersome to edit sound and music in AE, unlike Premiere Pro. AE is also another overwhelming animation software with a very deep learning curve. Making this first video through it took so much time. Trying to find out how to do something without having first learnt how to properly use the software. It’s like blindly diving in, without knowing anything, seeking out tutorials, test and trial, and experimenting with it to do something you wanted it to do to see if it really works by trying it out.
