Importing None Human Characters

Importing None Human Characters

I've been debating doing vtubing for a long while now, and finally decided to take the plunge and make my own avatar using blender (ambitious, I know)

I decided to go with a cute slime (like a video game, little blob slime) that should be easy to make, but also easy to make lots of animations and expressions for.

Thing is, after I'm finally done, making the thing, different eyes, add on accessories, bones and even made a little mini melting animation using shape keys, I try to put it in Warundo...only for it to not be able to load.

I got the vrm add on so i can turn it into a thing it'll actually understand, only for it to demand a bunch of extra bones for things like hips, fingers, feet, etc

My slime has 7 bones, and 4 of them are for its tini tiny arms and eyes.

Is there any way for me to actually import it as my vtuber avatar? I found this thing called allow non-humanoid rig, but i got this huge window with an error message I really don't understand (I'm not really a blender expert, I had to google how to do a lot of things for this) and nothing else happened.

Is there anything i can do, or do i need to scrap the whole thing and start from 0 with a humanoid model?

I've decided to come out to my mom tomorrow. Any advice?

​

I'm 23 AMAB and honestly nervous as hell. For the better part of 5 years I've kinda been in denial about being genderfluid, but only in the last year or so did I actually accept it.

My mom has said multiple times that she'd still love me if I was queer in any way, but that she wouldn't be able to understand/relate to me.

She's a very, very logical individual, as in all about scientific facts, so I'm not sure how to explain to her something that's based entirely on feelings and no hormonal or otherwise biological factor

It's extra scary cause I still live with her on one hand, but in a few months I'll need to leave to go to the army (it's mandatory to serve where I'm from) so I want to be able to be entirely me with her, before I have to leave for a year.

My main concern isn't exactly that she'll disregard my feelings, but that she won't really change in any way? Like, no addressing me with any other pronounces or actually weird if she sees me in fem wear.

Ive ried to get her used to those things by both sewing a lot of feminine clothes and then trying them on 'cause I don't got anyone else to try them' and by styling my hair here or wearing a corset there, now and again.

My other concern is that she'll insist I tell my brother.

While I love them both, my brother is the LAST person I want to know almost (not literally but he's pretty high on that list). Mom is big on me and my brother being close, even if it has to be forced sometimes, and honestly, while I love him, he and I are not close, so I really don't feel comfortable sharing this part of me atm.

Id appreciate any and all advice on how to go about this. I thought of sitting here down tomorrow night and trying to just spit it out , but any suggestions would help tbh
