Vyond Improvement Secrets Part 1: Making and improving the Character

 Hello, guys! Since I have departure from making vyond videos over nightsingers, I decided to make some easter egg tutorials instead. Yeah, you know about Daniel Fuenmayor Ledesma's Vyond Content is very great! I became a big fan of DFL and I became inspired by making my own videos before. If you want to be Daniel Fuenmayor Ledesma or Glyris (me) in making the videos, I'll make a tutorial for you all!

Before starting to improve the videos, let's decide to the characters first. Even these poorly made characters look bland, let's start to improve the characters.


Making The Characters

    1. Open the vyond character maker.


2. Use a reference vyond files on Goanimate V2 wiki. I am using Ashlee White from, Cubika as an example. For prenium and essential members, you can improve the design and color to replace old ones.


3. Change the skin color according to the reference file if you using. Thus I recommend you some presets of skin colors below. Red squares show the presets of the colors. Use this since it is quiet important to make the videos look new.



You can see below that the color is absolutely the same that this one.



4. Let's go to the hair first and let's select one that refer to the picture you using.


Let's now color the hair instead. Let's talk about the color. As you seen the green square is the brighter colors while red ones are dull. So we are going to use Bright Colors so we can improve the video. Dull colors look bland and old. So we cannot use dull colors.


As you see in the picture that ashlee's hair is light blond. The colors are only stand on the edges of the color square.

Take the pictures examples below. The dull colors are make them old while bright colors make them new.


5. Let's proceed to the eyes, let's click the right eye according to the reference. Change the color into same color. *Sorry that Ashlee's eyes should be blue rather pink.*

Now let's proceed the Easter eggs of the eye, the eyelids! Click the second box between the main color and the eye lashes.

Let's change the color of the eyelids as a makeup eyelids (for girls only) by responding colors.



Then click the third box of the eye and change the color of the eye lashes. Make the eyelashes darker than the other eye colors.


Other characters had eyes with different color. This one example shows this.



Finally let's change the color the eye brows according to the hair color.



6. Let's change the tops  and give the right color according to the reference sheet. Make sure the colors are brighter than the old suggested colors! Give the gloves if necessary if he/she in a factory job, a troublemaker, a hero or a player in cubika!



However if you are using darker bright colors, make sure it will balance to the bright colors. For Black for example should be pure black and not to mention do not make black even dull!


Then we will proceed to the gloves, I give Ashlee some white gloves however and change to pure white than ordinary gray.
In the meantime, for some other characters, gloves should be brighter. 



7. Let's do the same to the bottoms! I would say that Ashlee's skirt is pink.



8. Let's finally change the footwear and make the colors brighter!


Now Ashlee's creation is finish! Compare to the reference sheet. If there is mistake, edit and balance the bright colors.



Bonus!

If you tried to search a desired hair for the character that you are making or using a reference from other vyond characters, please look out for similarities. There some similarities on avatar creator. This shows an example.


When you tried to use accessories, you must follow the pattern of the accessories so it would look not messy.
Now finally, arrangement is important, look at Tuesday (for example) shows the arrangement of accessories shows here. If it is misarranged, reorder and use the reference sheet of the character using!
Another example from Maddie Clark!



Other Accessories have also change color for some characters!




Hopefully that you will understand about making and improving character design!
Let's proceed to the scenes soon!
