Big Cat VR Avatar [VRCHAT]
This is a customizable big cat VRChat avatar! This avatar comes with many customization options via shapekeys(and more to come in updates!), full facial visemes, dynamic bones set up, and includes a .blend file, substance painter file, and a .unitypackage with some pre-set prefabs!
This model is versatile and can be used for almost any big cat species, whether it be a lion, tiger, leopard, or etc, with a lot of blendshapes for customization as well as a mane addon, and comes in both plantigrade and digitigrade model versions.
Note the planti and digi model versions are UV'ed differently and use separate textures.
The big cat is built for VRC SDK3.
!!!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.!!!
!!It is also recommended to use the Poiyomi shader for best visual results with this avatar, however non-Poi prefabs have been included.!!
Owners of this avatar will receive a 50% off coupon for the KittyKat, and vice versa, so buying either of these avatars will allow a user to buy the other for half off.
!!!!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.

TOS
======
- 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: There are two .prefab files for each body type preset, not counting the Quest prefabs- one with the Poiyomi shader applied, and one without, using the Unity standard specular shader instead. The Poiyomi Patreon shaders are required for the Poiyomi presets.
Also requires Dynamic Bones: https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/animation/dynamic-bone-16743
If you buy, a rating is appreciated!! Ratings help me to be found on Discover, and can get me more sales!

============ CHANGELOG ==================
7/24/21 - Added new mane variants, new whiskers, and added proper MMD compatibility expressions and visemes. Note: To swap between mane variants, just select the mane object on one of the prefabs, and under "mesh", change it to one of the other mane meshes. You will need to swap materials and textures accordingly, as some of the manes have different UVs and textures.
Note: As of now, only the digitigrade version has MMD shapes, as the planti version doesn't look quite as nice with MMD in general, and I imagine most would prefer the digitigrade version for that.
7/26/21 - Added extra blendshapes for cheek tuft length and shape, as well as added addon ear tufts. Whisker dots on the planti model version's texture have been adjusted to properly reflect whisker placement on the mesh. Also fixed some small facial gesture issues that occurred from introduction of MMD visemes(Smile vs. smile, the gestures called for "Smile", which became the MMD blendshape with closed eyes, which made the gestures look kind of broken if they already had closed eyes.)
7/29/21 - Added a quick fix for a small issue where the eyes would clip into the mesh a bit when looking around. This file includes FBX(as a unitypack to import and replace) and updated .blends only, meant to overwrite the FBX in v3. Import v3 FIRST, and then the eye fix afterwards. Will remove the eye fix patch and apply it by default in the next big model update.
8/6/21 - Updated for VRChat's new update to Unity version 2019. Make sure you're using the correct, updated Unity version and updated SDK! Poiyomi shaders should also be updated to the latest version of the Pro shader.
5/22/22 - Updated with dynamic digilegs, fixed a weighting issue on the legs, fixed hip orientation for IK2 beta, added physbones, and reorganized project folders. Update contains the digitigrade-anatomy version only, however there are both digi-rigged and planti-rigged versions. The "true plantigrade" version will come in a later update.
