VRChat Ready Model

$100 Base price

Details

  • The completed process to put a completed model into unity and ready to be uploaded to VRChat. This will include control set ups and Any custom animations are inserted into their correct settings.

  • Additional features can be added to the model. Such as more animations, expressions, and props.

  • Though a few DISCLAIMERS:

  • Just because it's something that you have seen in done in VRChat or videos of people in VRChat doesn't mean that it can be replicated or is within my skillset to complete a special function or effect within a reasonable timeframe. And I again reserve the right to refuse any request that I am not comfortable or willing to attempt.

  • I typically aim for a medium performance rating from VRChat as a good balance. We can by all means make something with the rating of bad or terrible. Just be warned such models (especially when everyone is using models like that) can cause intense lag, stuttering, errors and being kicked from a room for causing said problems.

  • Model will contain the rig, a full set of Visemes and 4 expressions chosen by the client or the standard: Happy, Sad, Angry, Surprised will be mapped to controls in the menu and/or by using gestures.

  • NSFW content is against VRChat's Terms of service. I will NOT be held liable if a client attempts to put one of my NSFW models into VRChat

Client will receive a download link for a .zip file containing the following upon completion:

  • - The .blend and .fbx files complete with textures, animations and shapekeys

  • -The unity asset file that you can plug directly into unity

  • - The complete unity file ready to upload to your VRChat profile (you can find a video tutorial on how to do this on youtube).

Animations

$5 - $10+ per second of animation per character

Details

  • For the time being all animations will be rendered at 30 frames per second, at 1920x1080 (or even 1920x1920 for square ratio).

  • The animation will come with a simple background Default. This means there will be a simply textured ground to cast shadows on and a HDRI background (2D background)

  • Props and advanced environments will be discussed with the client and accepted on a case by case basis.

  • The More detailed and "full" the environment is the longer each frame will take to render. Simply put if there are 30 frames in 1 second, 60 seconds of animation, and each frame takes an average of 1 min to render that means it will take approximately 1800 minutes (1min x 30 x 60) or 30 hours to render a single 1 min animation.

  • A EEVEE render tends to be much faster to render, but lacks any detailed lighting or crisp details.

  • A Cycles render tends to take longer to render, but can achieve "realistic" lighting, shadows and "physical" details.

  • Blender has improved much over the years, as such many model textures and materials are cross-compatible with little to no adjustments. But there are some that are not directly cross-compatible and may require some serious adjustments to work. If a client's provided model is not compatible with the requested render type a up charge of 10% of the animation base price will be requested, or to switch to the other type of render. Refusal of either option by the client will result in service being refused and termination of the commission.

  • Extra frames/seconds may be added by the artist at no charge

Client will receive a download link for a .zip file containing the following upon completion:

  • (In addition to any files provided)

  • The .blend and .fbx files with completed animation

  • Any texture/material/simulation file folders

  • 1 .mp4 file (movie file) at maximum rendered quality for personal use.

  • Up to 2 coded .mp4 watermarked files for upload to the client's personal social media pages (youtube, twitter(x), facebook, etc. Quality between each may differ slightly)

  • 1-2 "advertisement" .gif files. Animations are often to large to fit completely into a .gif file and uploaded to most social media sites. So it's suggested to upload a gif to the social media pages and link in the upload's description to the actual animation upload.

TOS

I have opened my art skills to be sold to the public in the form of commission based projects. With that being stated I wish only to turn out the best possible work that I will be able to produce and to be paid for the services rendered. Below I will state the terms of using my services, AND what the commissioner (the buyer) should be expecting.To try and cover allot if not all of the bases here. (Updated: 2024)Payment Methods: Only Paypal Invoices for the moment
Refund Policy: See Numbers 10, 11, and 12 Below

  1. These Terms of Service are for NONCOMMERCIAL projects and are only subject to revising, editing, and additions by the buyer without notice.

  2. I (the artist) work on a non-deadline schedule. But I will still attempt to deliver the final product in a timely and professional manner. If you (the client) feel as though a progress update is required contact me at [email protected]. Harassment will not be tolerated and may result in termination of the commission with the appropriate refund value (see 10, 11, 12)

  3. By commissioning the artist you agree that you are of 18 years of age or older.

  4. Displayed base prices will be subject to change based on complexity, difficulty, size and medium of each individual piece.

  5. Clear visual references must be provided by the client. 3D work is almost impossible to get right just on a little character description so reference sheets are needed, sorry.

  6. Wing it commissions require a reference but the overall idea of the piece is up to the artist (me). The artist will provide updates of how the piece looks so the client can point out areas of adjustment as needed.

  7. Standard commissions the client will have to provide a clear idea of what they want the artist to depict, Artist will try to clarify unclear ideas, but anything left unclear will be up to the Artists interpretation.

  8. Payments $200 and under must be made up front in full. Payment plans are available for commissions above $200

  9. If the artwork is finished before final payments are made, the client will not receive the original paint/drawing or un-watermarked digital image, or obj/blender file of the commission until final payments are made.

  10. If the client wishes to cancel their commission during the sketch, sculpt, modeling, stages they will be refunded 75% of what they paid

  11. If the client wishes to cancel their commission during the materials, texturing or retopology stages they will be refunded 50% of what they paid

  12. If the client wishes to cancel their commission during or after the rigging/animation stages they will not be issued a refund

  13. The artist reserves the right to issue a refund and cancel a commission due to poor communication, rude or inappropriate behavior, subject matter, or inability to communicate in effective manner

  16. The artist will not handle depictions of illegal activities, materials and hateful images.

  17. Non-explicit fetish, artistic nudity, violence, gore, and humorously offensive work will be considered on a case-by-case basis. The Artist reserves the right to reject any commission for any reason.

  18. The client retains all rights to their respective character. This does not allow them sole rights to the commissioned image(s) or products (see 19 - 29).

  19. The Artist retains the right to display all commissioned work on any personal website, gallery, advertisement or journal. If the commissioned work is a time-sensitive gift the artist may delay public showcase at the request of the client.

  20. The Artist retains ALL the rights to the commissioned artwork, including the right to make prints, merchandise, character blanks, generic bases* (if applicable), retextures, and rigs (bones) from the finished model. Image rights and/or exclusive ownership can be negotiated for an added fee**.

  21. For paintings and drawings; the Client may not profit from the artwork beyond the resale of a physical original painting or drawings, (traditional media, not digital). This includes the sale of the digital files, or rights to the image.

  22. For digital paintings and traditional art the client may create prints for personal use (display in their home or as gifts). Clients may also resize or crop the artwork to create icons, wallpapers, or other graphics to be used in non-commercial digital format, but the client cannot alter the artwork itself. The client may also upload the artwork to their personal website or gallery, but credit is required, and it must not be any high resolution or un-watermarked version of the artwork

  23. For 3D media all of rule 19 & 20 applies with the following exceptions: If the final product includes a .blend or obj file the client may attempt to re-position/re-pose the 3d model, lighting, environment, or equipment. They may use the model to create pictures (renders) or animations and post them to their personal profiles. The model can be retextured (recolored) and have new objects attached to the model (clothing, armor, weapons, etc.). But may not make any alterations by adding of any age-rating altering materials (don't make a pg model x-rated by adding genitals).

  24. The client may sell their own renders, animations, and 3D prints using the artist's model without permission of the artist as long as they are still credited for the creation of the original model.

  25. The client may commission or give the model to other 3D artists for the purposes outlined in rule 23. This does not give the 3rd party any ownership or rights of the model (only whatever they add to or alter on the model)

  26. The client may sell the model as a whole and relinquish any further rights to use the model for their own personal renders or animations. Upon relinquishment, the new owner of the model and character must be linked or forwarded a copy of this TOS. And will be thus referred to as "the client" for the purposes of this TOS.

  29. The client may not use the commissioned or any free art for any NFTs or AI learning algorithms.

  30. If sent a 3D file as part of the final product, the artist is not responsible for teaching the client how to use a 3d program. Or how to set up the 3D file in a program

  31. Any download link used to share the file will likely have an expiration date on it. It is recommended that the client keep copies of the file just in case of accidentally saving a file in an undesirable state. It is not the artist's responsibility if the file is lost, corrupted or "unfixable". But contact the artist at MercuriumsMM[at]gmail.com for a renewed link if all hope is lost. Abusing this will not be tolerated and repeated requests will be denied and blocked.

  32. The client will be provided with high quality unwatermarked images for personal use, and a watermarked image for uploading to their own profiles.

  33. -3D images may have additional files, such as obj/fbx/blend files and file packages with all the textures files for the 3d model.

  34. The Client must read, understand and agree to all the above terms before entering into an agreement with the Artist. By entering an agreement with the artist for their work the client is treated as agreeing to the terms and services provided here.

Generic bases will be a blank (texture-less) or retextured "base" verson of the model to be sold as a public model. This means I will strip and redesign anything and everything unique to the client's character, this includes but not limited to:
-body details (horns, wings, feathers, fur, genitals, internal organs, etc.)
-
*equipment (cloths, armor, weapons, gadgets/accessories, etc.)
-special effects (flames, fluids, "magic effects" and so on)
-Rigs and controls for things listed above and possibly more
Example: THIS is a blank of THIS model
**Things like equipment may be packaged and sold as "blank" versions on their own.
*** If the client's commission is for a closed species, or one unique to the client then there needs to be a negotiation for exclusive rights between the artist and client.
