There has been an update to the a4-printable size of the shaped handpaw tutorial. There was a bit of a scaling issue from when I rotated some of the pattern pieces to fit better and this has been fixed now!!

* If you already purchased this tutorial on etsy, I'll send you the updated a4 copy no charge — Send me a message with your order # ( a 10 digit number found in your emailed receipt or in your order info) and I will send a copy to the email you used to purchase!

Happy New Year everyone! I'm pleased to share that over the past year or so I've been learning Unity and a bit of Blender and have published my first world for VRChat. A small world for some of my avatar edits on avatars I've purchased. With furniture pieces I made in blender! I hope to make my own avatar shapes someday as a goal! Enjoy!

Great big update for my VRChat world!
I now have a totally new area to explore, just wander into the forest! There you will find a Gravity House, which is a tourist trap style optical illusion (that works in VR!). I'm obsessed with these irl so I finally got my model of one I made into VRC.
(Align camera with the floor for the best effect)
Other stuff I updated in the world includes: New treeline sky I illustrated! Light Volume support on PC! The world props will light up more accurately, & if you have a compatible shader it will light your avatar too! I also added a few new pickups. Updated stuff to the newest versions (video player, camera) too!
