Modular Novabeast - VRCFury
Modular version of Kittomatic’s Novabeast using VRCFury components for easy optimization!
Features
- Don’t want the goggles, collar, or hair? Delete the corresponding mesh and the physbones will be removed with it
- Have too many options cluttering your action menu? Get rid of menu items by deleting the relevant object from the hierarchy
- Femme and masc body meshes have been separated, saving ~1k tris
Warnings
- This model/prefab comes with no warranty or guarantees that it will work! This is what I use for my personal avatar and figured I’d release it for free in case anyone finds it useful.
- Please use this on a new avatar project! It may break any pre-existing projects.
Caveats
- You must already own Kittomatic’s Novabeast! This download does not contain any mesh or texture data and relies on the original unitypackage to work properly.
- To properly optimize your avatar, use d4rkAvatarOptimizer to recombine the meshes on upload. If you skip this, the final performance ranking will be worse!
- Clothing assets may need extra work to install (e.g. adjusting blendshapes manually)
- The femme body type comes in two different prefabs, with and without chest floof, due to interactions with the collar
How To Use
- Add VRCFury and d4rkAvatarOptimizer to your project using the VRChat Creator Companion
