Takes months of figuring out what you're doing, it's like learning how to draw things.
Or you can just buy stuff on the marketplace that other people make
Or you can commission custom meshes from people, but that's really really expensive.

marketplace, cheap but lack of exact vision. enough variety to compensate in most cases with a little artistic compromise and texture modding
custom, exact vision, but requires you to know what you want and be willing to drop 70-100$ on the labor, and finding the right content creator to do it for you who is:
1. talented enough
2. has slots open
3. prices meet your budget
4. follows through on projects.
remember, when commissioning folks, cheaper isn't better. A lot of artists have massive self-esteem issues and do not know how to budget their time or price their work. The end result is an overworked mess made out of spite instead of love in order to meet a deadline, if they can even do that.
you pay for skill both in 3d work and business skills to market themselves to reach you.

Welp, so much for being a kobold.
Any other suggestions on fantasy sims? There has to be at least a few out there that aren't terrible.

I didnt want to make a new thread for avatar help, so ill just post it here. I am trying to figure out just how to put a vag and clocoa on my av. So far i cant get anything to stick without pic related happening. My only thought is to make fit mesh copies, but i dont know how to do that and suck with 3d modeling. Any suggestions?

There's a thread for buying recommendations etc.
Anyway, 2.0 is a decent, cheap starter kit to use as mesh body. It doesn't have as much shit as kemono and isn't compatible with system skins and clothing, but usually works with most rigged/fitted mesh clothes and has a usable amount of skins.
The M3 Venus is good for anime'ish characters and the various skins often come in sets with 2.0 compatible skins, even works for a very feminine male.
TL;DR if you want a quick anime avatar, go for it. Otherwise there might be something better out there.

I dunno, seemed like a perfectly adequate answer to my question. Although that seems like it's missing a step, since that doesn't help with the "shimmering" effect.

Here's the texture. To really see the iridescence in action you actually need a light source shining on whatever object you put it on. A solution to this is to make small prims that act as projector lights and shine onto the object. The second texture works well for such projector lights, just make sure the light actually only illuminates you and not the surrounding area.

What about the normal/bump map? That seems to really be the missing piece here, since I assume that's how you made it "glitter", because otherwise it seems like it'd just be a flat shine in rainbow colors.

The specular and normal mapping look like variations on the construction hex patterns sold by N3K0T3CH. They got put back online recently with some new normals added into the mix.

Hexes are really one of the more common specmaps on anything robotic. And with all the flat surfaces on a Riku's parts, a specmap that tiles well looks really good.

There are many events running atm and they give out free stuff, here's a list:
- Nightmare event, do the hunt
- Fantasy collective, wear group tag and click the pumpkins
- Tag! gacha, starts at gachatopia, get the hud from the wreath inside the house and visit all stores, you get something at each store even without playing the gacha machine
- Season's story, free stuff in the anniversary boxes
- Kustom9, not free, but some items only cost 9L$
These events all got some decent stores in them, so it's not the usual freebie crap and actually decent quality.

Don't forget Quest Fur Cover, which is free and has some mesh stuff as rewards.
Bonsai Beasts has something similar going in its home sim too.

So I've played for a few hours and I'm getting used to things. Think I get how outfits and the inventory works now.
What are some shops that have things I can buy to not look like a complete newfag? Most free shit I've found that people have recommended is complete shit. I don't mind spending a couple bucks. *It'd be nice to be qt like the others in the thread**
Also, anybody willing to show me some cool places and things to do, and not rape me?
