If you want to animate it, you have to make a rig for it (actually this seems to be an issue of the VRM format itself, not the FBX exporter, since people using third party plugins to import VRM files into Blender also report the same issue with the animation rigs). When you import it into Maya, you will notice the character has no rig, meaning you can’t animate it.
This is not without its problems, though. After this is done, you can select any object in your scene, and export it as FBX. Just like the previous one, you will need to import the asset package into Unity. There’s another little plugin you can use, created by user kellanhiggins, to export to FBX format. One thing to mention, though, is that you may not get any animation, or that you may want to use your own animations. Using the animation editor in Unity, you could also animate the characters. The Unity prefab object also includes the bones, so, you can pose the character inside Unity by rotating the bones. You can modify those materials to change various effects, or you can replace them with your own 3D-looking materials in case you want to do that.Īnother cool detail is that you actually get your blendshapes (facial morphs), meaning that your avatar in Unity will be able to portray different facial expressions.
What’s amazing is that you will actually get toon-shading materials that look virtually identical to your VRoidStudio materials. Importing will actually extract textures, materials and meshes, and then create a prefab object that is fully configured and completely resembles your character in VRoidStudio. When the model finishes exporting, the first thing you notice is that a few folders and files are created. Just a note, you should import your model into an empty folder inside your project, to keep things more organized. When the package is installed, you can drag and drop your VRoidStudio exported VRM file into Unity, and it will import just like any other file.
The VRM importer is distributed as a Unity package, so all you need to do is create an empty Unity project and import this package. To use it, you just need to go to the user’s GitHub page here. One of the options is to use a VRM importer for Unity, created by someone who goes by dwango. There are people that, seeing this format limitation, have come up with their own Unity solutions to use these characters. You can share them or keep them for your own projects.
