Fennix Ultimate - VRChat Avatar

ATTENTION FENNIX/REMASTERED FENNIX OWNERS: If you owned the OG Fennix or Remastered Fennix at any point prior to the release of this avatar(7/24/22), you can DM me or Nimble Weave on my Discord to request a discount link to get this version for 50% off! Just make sure you provide a screenshot of the receipt, with a timestamp!

Meet the Fennix! This is a fox-like alien open species created by @ariverofstars on Twitter, made as an avatar for VRChat!

This avatar is a remade version of my original and Remastered Fennix avatars, with an overall much more updated look that is closer in style to my newer work.

!!!It is HIGHLY recommended to use Substance Painter to texture this avatar! Substance Painter makes avatar texturing a hundred times easier, + can easily create specular, emission, and normal maps without needing to do extra work- I use Substance Painter to texture all of my avatars, which means they DO NOT come with .PSD files! I do not texture with Photoshop, just a fair warning.!!!

!!!!NOTE: THIS AVATAR IS NOT REFUNDABLE. This is a DIGITAL product- when you buy it, you gain access to digital files that cannot just be "taken back". You cannot "return" a digital product like you can a physical one. If you force a chargeback, I WILL fight it.

If you are having any technical issues with the avatar, join my avatar Discord and ask for tech help, OR add me on Discord(Tosca#8203) for tech help, rather than immediately assuming that the avatar is "broken" and trying to force a chargeback.

Adjusted default texture done by Simmer!

TERMS OF SERVICE

======

- You may customize this model however you like- you can even make public cloneable avatars with it.

- You may take commissions using this model, however if you're giving files, the other party must have also bought the model. You may also not upload commissioned avatars to the other party's account if they do not own the avatar off of Gumroad, you may only keep it as publicly cloneable on your own account. If a commissioner wants it private, they need to buy the avatar from me.

- Do not give out the model files to anyone that has not already bought and paid for it, for any reason.

- You MAY edit this model and then sell edits as bases for others to use, provided that anyone buying your base has bought the original model in the first place. You may sell mods of this model, but only to people who already own it.

- If you are commissioning someone else for textures for this model, and they do not already own the files, you may ONLY give out the substance file, and the substance file ONLY, for them to texture. If someone is compiling the entire avatar for you, or doing anything besides retextures, they must own it, or you will need to buy it for them.

- Reuploading or reselling this avatar or any of its included files, anywhere, where people can freely access it without paying for it directly from this page, is expressly prohibited. Respect artists, don't pirate our work or redistribute it. I work hard on my avatars and this is, quite literally, my only source of income. I will pursue violators to the fullest extent of the law if caught, because this is my livelihood and I ask for that to be respected.

- By purchasing this avatar, you hereby agree to all of these terms, accepting them as a legally binding agreement.

NOTE: Poiyomi shader is highly recommended, otherwise the materials will break. If you do not use Poiyomi, you CAN switch the materials to standard specular and they should work.

If you buy, a rating is appreciated!! Ratings help me to be found on Discover, and can get me more sales!

============ CHANGELOG ==================
7/27/22 - Adjusted default muzzle shape to be more fox-like in appearance, to better match the original model and maintain species accuracy. I've also included a blendshape to revert the muzzle shape back to what it was before this update, in case anyone prefers the old look.

7/29/22 - Adjusted position of the back teeth to fix a small clipping issue on certain visemes, + added adjusted default texture by Simmer.

8/6/22 - Did a few optimization tweaks, combined all antennae onto one body mesh, activated by blendshapes, and renamed antennae bones to properly correlate to which antennae they control, as well as reshaped the butt to be a bit less flat and awkward looking near the base of the tail.

Also removed all unused vertex groups and UVs to manage overall filesize and hopefully improve the import process.
