VaM 1.x How to Blender model to usable Look

[peydhur]

So I have my FFXIV character exported out from textools into blender fully nude from mods textures and full of bones for posing and what not. I want to put her into virt a mate to use in scenes as a look. I know there's a good few users who have taken models from smut base and turned them into vam looks so it has to be possible.

I'm wondering if anyone knows if there's a good consolidated source on how I can do this myself? Preferably some YouTube videos or such. I really don't wanna go through like 4 different types of tutorials and pick and choose parts from them to jurry rig a solution haha. Or is this the kind of thing only someone who's profficient in modeling can do cuz I'm worried I might not be able to even with videos considering how dog shit I am at modeling in blender lol.
Thanks!

The VOD series below might be helpful. I don't think you need to be a proficient modeller, just knowing your way around blender should be enough.

Is there any better kind of tutorial video or series? I don't think his live streams are very productive. They're really hard to follow idk. Feels like I'm jumping into the middle of something not the beginning.

That's the only one I know unfortunately. You could try going through the VaM: Guides section to get more context for some parts of his workflow though. Some of these might be helpful for example.
