Since there has been some demand for my art, skills and time, beyond my immediate friend group, I am open to offering my abilities to contribute to your projects. These experiences have offered me opportunity to learn new skills and get critical feedback that has allowed me to grow beyond what I thought I was capable of.

If you gift me on my throne, buy me a treat, donate via my ko-fi or help me acquire assets / tools for my art and aspirations; I'll be more than happy to lend a hand if you need assistance with the following: (each section is independently updated, contact info at end of post)

VRchat Avatar Edits and Kitbashes

Welcome to the Workshop

Last Updated: 7/4/2024

I have edited dozens of avatars for myself and friends and with this has come a broad range of experience working with different models, assets and projects.

I would currently benchmark my capabilities at being able to do a full-custom kitbashed VRchat avatar from available commercial assets, tho I have not yet

• kitbash: setting up addons and DLC (either generic or intended for your model; stuff like face tracking, flow toys, Wholesome™ functions, particle trails), limb/head swaps, ears/tails*
• custom menus / toggles / gimmicks: lighting/emission boosts, audiolink mods, RGB sliders, invisibility
• avatar dynamics and effects: custom toggle transitions (like dissolves)
• avatar optimization: getting the most out of your performance ranks, cutting out bloat, taming texture import settings, removing/editing meshes, clean decimation
• 2d/3d** texture editing: simple edits, palette swaps (recolors and material edits of original assets)
• effect masks / emissions: creation of fully custom masks/maps and material/shader effects or enhancements/edits to existing assets
• material edits and overhauls: changing/upgrading/unifying shaders, lighting

VRchat World Edits / Kitbash

Pardon the dust

Last Updated: 7/4/2024

Admittedly, I am much newer to world work than I am with working avatars, but worlds are the most fun so any chances to work on more world/UDON/c# would be pretty neat

As of now, my offerings here are fairly limited and provided as "best effort":

• Basic prefab world setup, customization and upload help
• Kitbash; adding or changing existing prefabs and systems in your world project or prefab (ex. changing/customizing video players, games, gimmicks, systems)
• Scene, texture and asset edits, including rebaking lighting

Last Updated: 7/14/2024

If you need someone to show off you new avatar or assets, I'd be more than happy to help. I have full-wireless 11pt. laser body tracking as well as full facial tracking support. With multiple gigs paid and performed with and for creatives around the world, I look forward to doing more collaboration in this particular field.

Specific skills I can contribute would include:

• Avatar / Asset showcase; can quickly deploy avatars or assets and prepare for a shoot, also networked with a number of photo/video contacts
• Photo / video modeling / BG extras
• Body acting, dance and motion capture; fairly large (2.5m x 2.5m) playspace and props available

General VR software and hardware or VRchat Knowledge Share

Last Updated: 7/4/2024

• Q/A sessions over voice/text chat/screen share; we can cover topics like:
  • How do I improve my tracking/playspace/setup(hardware and software) for my goals?
  • What tis OSC?
  • Best Practices to Not Have to Start Your Project From Scratch
  • Realistic expectations of What is Actually Possible
  • . . . or you can use me to kick around ideas / brainstorm
• technical help: troubleshooting Unity / Blender console errors, repairing / recovering broken projects

Long-term or "retainer" style collaborations

Last Updated: 7/4/2024

At this time, I have no structure in place to offer extended or priority demands for individual collaborators. I am, however, open to the concept. Please reach out if you are interested or have something on offer.

More About Myxx

Last Updated: 7/4/2024

I have two+ years doing work on my own personal edits for VRchat go-go dancing, my streams and helping out friends

I've also accumulated over 3,000 hours logged in VRchat (I'm not a VR sleeper) in addition to at least half that amount of time split between Blender and Unity with a splash of Substance Painter

My current goals and focus are to learn more about 3d modeling, painting and real-time lighting/particle/emission EFx

As my skills and interests evolve, I will keep this page updated with new offerings and skills

TERMS OF EXCHANGE OR COLLABORATION

• In the same way my community and streams are🔞, you must also be 18+ to request collaborating with me
• I cannot / will not work on or locally host assets I do not own or you do not have the right to redistribute; this means you will need to link me to acquire the asset if its free for commercial use, or otherwise you will need to gift me a commercial license (if required) to any assets I must physically work with; otherwise I will require written perms from the original author to host the files on my local workstation to complete the exchange
• It is your responsibility to maintain backups of your original files and projects; if I do hands-on work for you and your original files are no longer available, outside of a one-week grace/revision period, I will not be obligated to revisit
• I will NOT work on, interact with, or convert to, anything that that even remotely represents the potential sexualization or abuse of minors OR depictions of beastiality, regardless of stated lore or character design
• I am more than open to negotiate the terms of our exchange throughout the project - however, drops in communication, bad-faith chargebacks and malicious feedback or social posts will not be tolerated

How to contact:

In order to contact me for assistance, in-kind or for hire, please join the Kindred Koven community discord. Once you have read and agree to community rules, you may open a ticket to request work. Please include the type of assistance you need, any details and references you think may be helpful, and the receipt of your gift / treat / tip if applicable.

Please note that I withhold the right to refuse to collaborate with any person, organization, or entity at my discretion, and be advised gifts/treats/tips does not entitle the giver to any work.

Notes:

*: I am actively learning weight painting - I may or may not be able to rig clothing or accessories not specifically made for your avatar

**: I am still at the start of learning more advanced texturing and painting tools like Substance; scope of the aid required must be within the range of current examples of work
