PLEASE NOTE: This has not been yet updated for physbones. In order to convert the dynamic bones to physbones, you will need to import the Dynamic Bone package (supplied yourself) and use the VRCSDK menu to convert all dynamic bone scripts in the avatar to physbones.

The Pixel Protogen!

The Pixel Protogen is a collaboration between me and a friend of mine - he made the mesh and textures, while I rigged & converted it for use in VRChat!

This is a voxel-style Protogen avatar dubbed the 'Pixel Protogen', containing 56 blendshapes for hand gestures, lipsync and emotions (separated into 'eye expressions' and 'mouth expressions').

Many aspects of the avatar can be toggled & customised, including various puppets to mess around with!

Features:

• Blendshape-based lipsync, gestures and expressions (separated into 'eye expressions' and 'mouth expressions' for control)

• 8 unique 'mouth expressions' and 'eye expressions' mapped respectively to your left and right controllers, allowing for 64 unique combinations

• Left-handed, right-handed and both-handed mode toggles to determine which hand controls your ears' movements

• Radial puppets to control your tail, ears and eyes

• Optimised armature rig with individual control of the ear panels, eyes and the ears themselves

• Full-body tracking ready

• Dynamic bones on the tail, ears, tongue and eyes, plus colliders on the hands

• Blendshapes for changing eye size, mouth size, and toggling an additional pair of ears

• Uses a single material slot for performance

• Under 3,000 polygons

• Leftover parameter space for your own customisations

• The default VRChat emotes

• VRCSDK3.0 Unity packages (PC & Quest) set-up with all features aforementioned

• Quest compatibility (as a separate Unity package)

• Ranked 'Medium' performance when using the PC pre-set scene of the Unity package

Terms of Service

In the following ToS, you will notice that I do not include any rules against the credited redistribution of these files.

I firmly believe in following a moral code instead.
Ideally, if you want to use my assets, you will purchase them from my store right here and support me financially. However, I understand that everybody's financial situation varies greatly, and you may not be able to justify purchasing it right now.
However, I still want you to enjoy my work. Therefore, I won't take it the wrong way if you decide to take the files from elsewhere, be it from a friend or an archiver service.

I say this out of an understanding of the individual experience and the state of the world. I quit my job due to being dissatisfied with the toxic work ethic; none of my family members pursue a job they enjoy, and I didn't want to fall into the same boat. I had a steady income, but I hated the process.
Since then, I focused my efforts entirely on prospects that I enjoy. It's still a very small income, averaging just £150 a month, but I'm lucky enough to have the time to work towards my future career without worrying about rent or food.

So let me reiterate:

If you choose to support me financially by purchasing my work, I will be forever grateful. You will help me reach closer to my goals of building a successful future and creating more. However, if you honestly consult with yourself and come to the conclusion that this isn't something you can do at this time, then I give you the liberty to enjoy my work regardless.

Upon purchase of this avatar, you may:

• Edit it however you like

• Use the model inside any software you want

• Upload the model as public/cloneable

However, you CANNOT:

• Use the avatar for the promotion of hateful or discriminatory ideas; don't make anything with the intent of offending others

• Remove the credits hidden inside the chest

• Resell the contents of this Gumroad package

• Plagiarise the avatar as entirely your own work

I am not responsible for any misuse of the model/avatar that violates the respective platform's ToS, such as VRChat or NeosVR.
