How to Make a FNAF Character in Blender

If you're a fan of Five Nights at Freddy's, creating your own characters in Blender can be a fun and creative experience. With Nara's Unity Tools and Pumkin's Avatar Tools, you can quickly simplify dynamic bones and create fake bone gravity on Quest. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you get started.

Step 1: Create a New Material

First, create a new material in Blender by right-clicking the folder and selecting 'Create' > 'Material.' Choose the shader you'll be using for your character.

Step 2: Copy Your Existing Avatar's Properties

Copy the properties of your existing avatar (including its blueprint ID) to the new avatar. This will help ensure that your new character has the same features and characteristics as the original.

Step 3: Setup Your Rig

Setup your rig as usual, using a humanoid or map bones. Add it to your scene and make any necessary adjustments.

Step 4: Edit Texture Settings

For each texture, edit the texture settings as shown in the recommended texture settings guide. This will help ensure that your character's textures look their best.

Step 5: Bake Your Character

To bake your character for Quest, create a duplicate of your Unity project and click 'Switch to Android platform' in the VRC control panel. Import the whole folder into your Unity project and locate the 'CATS Bake' output directory inside your current project directory. Click 'Copy and Bake (SLOW!)' and wait for it to complete.

Step 6: Autodetect Passes

Click one of the 'Autodetect' buttons for the platform you're targeting, Desktop or Quest. This will help determine which bake passes are relevant to your model.

Step 7: Optimize Your Model

Use UVPackmaster where available for extra efficient UVMaps and combine all meshes into one UV space so that the resulting mesh is setup to use a single material. Bake the original in object coordinates, decimate, then rebake to tangent coordinates to make the copy shade much like the original.

Step 8: Duplicate and Decimate Your Model

Instantly duplicate and decimate any model without affecting the original. This will help you create a Quest variant of your character.

By following these steps, you can quickly and easily create a FNAF character in Blender using Nara's Unity Tools and Pumkin's Avatar Tools. With their help, you can simplify dynamic bones, create fake bone gravity on Quest, and bake your character to perfection. Whether you're looking to create a new character for Five Nights at Freddy's or simply want to experiment with Blender, these tools are sure to be a valuable asset in your creative journey.
