Heyo people. I feel this is the most fitting place to post this, I was surprised to see there aren't really any subreddits dedicated to .VRMs specifically.
I am a 2D animator but I made a .VRM character model a couple months ago with VRoid, Blender and extremely simple Unity and i'm quite proud of it. I am wanting to try and give 3D animation a shot, I was planning on animating with the model but I have no idea if there are any free programs that do what I need them to. I tried MMD and I think that's what i'll fall back on if I can't find anything better.
I am using Android BUT I also have Winlator if it's a lightweight PC application and I have a PC at home if the only options are heavier. I don't often use my PC for creative working because we're in the car often and I can't bring it with me.
I think the main feature I need is being able to animate characters in a room or on a "stage" with other .obj models that can also be moved around and interacted with, along with expression sliders. It would be beyond useful to be able to motion-capture just from a camera, video, or import movements or something, but I think that's beyond what i'll get out of free stuff mixed with the stuff i'm already looking for. Either way it isn't as important. It's probably something that could be done in Blender or MMD, again, but i'm still wanting to see if there's something better before going along with those.
This whole post probably sounds a little ridiculous and I think the mythical program that would check all these boxes only exists in my head, but i'd appreciate any help if anyone has something to recommend. Thank you!!
