Thanks OP, haven't checked Andrew's channel in a while.

If you're upset about his soiface emote, it's literally unironically no meme because Youtube runs an algorithm on thumbnails and if it sees a smiling face (which its more likely to decide is the case if the person is EMOTING), the algorithm will rank it higher and serve it to a broader category of people.

It's why literally every thumbnail for every channel that can has someone doing an OH face or some other expressive emote.

we recommend understanding how 3d modeling works, not the program like blender or Max. Learning the basics will help you, it is like learning to control a car. Once you learn how to move a car to do things, the car becomes easy to learn in other cars.

The only difference is that Blender doesn't obey this rule, it is the manuals of cars. No one understands it clearly but people use it anyway.

About that, it requires more than just making 3d models. As you may be aware Hololive faces to track the person's face is not perfect. Our human faces are not the same which is why AI is confused on who you are as a person.

Then we talk to talk about how each one of us talk, some open bigger mouth to talk, other not moving the month but the lips, etc. The smile is by far the complex one, you think it is easy but people do it differently, this leads to so much confusing things for the computer.

So to answer your question, you'll need to build one personally to you. No common tricks or software can make it match to you. This is where Hololive just skips those skips and say it is good enough.

Letting trivial nonsense prevent you from learning is more onions than any of Donutguru's thumbnails. Deliberating over the length or perfection of your learning materials and refusing to start until you've mapped out a perfect path from zero to pro is procrastination with enough extra steps to guarantee you'll never even start.

If you want to learn the basics of Blender from a teacher who takes time at each step to explain common pitfalls and how to fix them, Donut 3.0 is a good place to start. You'll get a donut out of it for your asset browser, and you'll be much more comfortable with Blender's interface and basic operations, and most importantly you'll have the experience of taking a project from start to finish.

Once you're done with that, use what you learned to make a custom model of something you're interested in, but without a walkthrough this time. Use reference. Finish even if you don't like how it looks. It is more important in your learning process to finish your projects than to make them perfect.

He made it smaller not taller or wider like a real donut. This is the mistake i knew keeps happening from people, you can't 3d print these things like that.

Do not use Valve's Source Maker it is heavy outdated, 3d models get stretch, worst way to learn about animation.

Understand to first make a moving model is to make the bones, you'll then need to make sure the bones do not do crazy things like Valve's Source models do.

Once you got all the first steps to make a model move into a program, you'll need to find a program. The easiest to understand is one used by JP called MikuMikuDance.

If you want a more professional setting try: https://webglstudio.org/ but this is way harder and it is recommended to at least understand how to move a model before even doing anything.
