Alphagen

A retro/industrial-styled model inspired by the Protogen species for VRChat.

Started as a passion project at the start of 2021 as an experimental model with heavy emphasis of utilizing unity constraints to mimic how mechanical parts should move, and evolved into a full avatar. 

This avatar is only supported by VRChat, currently there is no NeosVR version.

Quest users not using a link-cable will experience a loss of functionality since Quest avatars cannot have constraints.

(Preview models are from before I added index support)

Features: 

• A complex constraint system. 
• Six heads, six tails and seven backpacks to choose from. 
• Furred, scalie and full metal body types.
• Dozens of blendshapes available in the AV3 menu. 
• On-the-fly color editing from the AV3 menu. 
• Lockable forearms, experience life with and without wrists. 
• Facial animations and emotes. 
• Medium performance for most head/tail/backpack combinations. 
• Additional blend shapes for neck and waist size (for fur and scale bodies). 
• Full-body compatible.
• Physbones.

The package includes:

• Source .blend file for the model.
• All substance painter files, with exploded models for easier texturing.
• Unity project with all parts made into prefabs for easy assembly, as well as some pre-made avatars ready for uploading after some easy configuration.
• A quickstart guide and information sheet for how to upload, work with and edit the model as painlessly as possible.

Dependencies:

Mochies shader (free)

Unity 2019.4.31f1

Warnings:

This model has some quirks to how it functions, and regardless of your previous experience with uploading/editing avatars make sure to read the guide included in the package! Not following the guide will quite likely result in the uploaded avatar missing some animation sets depending on what head you choose to use.

The guide contains all information needed to upload the avatar normally as well as some notes on what you should/shouldn't do when working with the model to avoid headaches.

The model works with index controllers, but cannot use its finger tracking since the models fingers are gesture-driven.

The model now supports Index controllers properly.

The model comes without any .psd files, as they are fairly useless on this avatar due to its complex UV mapping, substance painter is a requirement to edit this models textures properly.
