This time, I'll create shape keys used to express facial expressions and such.

First up is the eye shape key. To create a new eye texture, I'll return to Texture Paint as mentioned in previous progress updates. The eye texture will be painted onto the same image as the body texture.

Write the modified eye texture for facial expressions into the slightly open gap in the texture.

Using this texture, I created the following eye expression shape keys.

Next, I'll create shape keys for expressions that can handle various situations. I'll create VRChat's basic 14 mouth shape keys, 135 eye shape keys, and 7 additional shape keys (for a total of 156 shape keys).

That concludes the progress report for this time.
