Kuda's Avians - Model and VRC Avatar pack

This avatar is not natively Quest compatible!!

Please Read the TOS at the bottom for information about commissions and usage! Thank you!

Thank you for your interest!

This is a model and texture collection, open to customization and prepared for full-body tracking.

Contained inside is all you'll need to make your own Avian, complete with lip-syncing and multiple blendshape sliders for facial features and body shapes. Male and Female sliders on the same mesh!

There will be updates in the future as needed. All updates for a purchased license for this specific model are free!

Included is the License and TOS for using and customizing this model. Open to customize and use for commissions, but both client and commissioner need to both own a license key for the Avian. NOT for reselling. More details inside.

I am indefinitely closed for avatar retexture commissions, but if looking for a custom texture, please join my Discord server! There are artists in there you can get in contact with who will take commissions for my avatars.

Mar/17/2022 Changelog:

Minor FBX Update! Don't need to make a new unitypackage, a guide on how to easily replace the FBX in your existing project with the new version is included.

Changes:

- Improved the Normals for the FBX to better hide seams for Jay crest, Arm fluff, and Leg fluff

- Weight painting fix for the underboob where vertices was pulling improperly

- Weight painting fix for the arms where the body mesh was clipping through the Arm fluff

- Improved 'eye close' blendshapes

- Adjusted Wink L and R blendshapes

- Improved 'Masculine Eyelashes' blendshape

- Fixed some eyebrow blendshapes for improved normals

- Improved weight painting for the elbows+Arm fluff

____________

Feb/10/2022 Changelog:

Rig Changes:

- Added a 'Belly' bone with rotation constraints to the Chest bone to reduce concave torso when using FBT.

- Added rotation constraints to the first Butt bones to improve look of butt when sitting/bending legs at the hip.

- Adjusted Neck bone length and improved weight painting for head-to-neck rotations.

- Overall improved weight painting

Mesh/UV Changes:

- Removed Chocobo Crest and Peacock Head to separate objects to lessen the poly count of the Body mesh for VRC Optimization. Objects are togglable/Removable in Unity. Jay Head is still on Body as blendshape.

- Removed unnecessary loopcuts in Eyes, Body, and Wings to lessen poly count.

- Because of above changes, the Body UV map had to be slightly altered, mainly involving the back/both legs. New UV Map is included in package.

- Because of above changes, the Preset avatars are now Medium rated in VRC! Using one tail and one head piece (not including Jay) will keep it Medium rated. Adding more tails/crest options will increase poly count to Avatar.

Blendshape Changes:

- Added MANY new blendshapes for more customization to the Body mesh, involving the face, beak, and body shape. Please check out the included Blendshape list and try them out!

- New 'Closed' blendshape for Full Wings.

SPP/Texture changes:

- Updated and improved the default textures and SPP files.

- Still no PSD versions, but I am working on it and will distribute the files via Gumroad as soon as I have them.

------------------

USES UNITY 2019.4.31f

Please let me know if you have any issues! Message me @Kudalyn on twitter.

------------------------------------

Notice: If the VRC Uploader says the hips are not 180 degrees and 'might not work well' with FBT - it does. I have FBT and test all my avatars. VRChat just likes to complain - even if you have that notice error, you should be able to upload your avatar with no issues. If you do, please contact me.

New TOS updates as of Dec 01, 2022

Anything listed as 'the Avatar' in this TOS is referring to: Kuda's Avian

>The purchaser of the single personal use license has permission to:

- upload and modify the Avatar for personal use, as many times as wanted.
- use the Avatar for streaming, recording, and/or 'VTubing' purposes.
- take commissions of alterations and customizations of the Avatar. (Further clarification below in "For Commissions")
- use assets to make accessories, additives, or clothing to/for the Avatar for Personal use.
- use assets to make accessories, additives, or clothing to/for the Avatar for:

-distributing within the appropriate Verified Discord channels in Kuda's Server.
-selling on marketplaces like Gumroad if the accessories/clothing created AS LONG AS the assets made do not include significant portions of the Original Mesh of the Avatar.

(NOTICE: please ask/notify the original creator of the model (Kudalyn) of any created assets so she knows what is being made and can boost it for you!)

>For Commissions:
- It is allowed to purchase the Avatar with the intent of allowing someone else to customize it for you. However:

After the commission has been concluded the other person/commissionee will not be allowed to use the assets if they did not already own the Avatar. If they wish to do so they must purchase the Avatar themselves. This rule is to attempt to cut down on possible asset sharing and to ensure customers with the Avatars have proper access to future updates to the model via Gumroad.

- If the commissionee is the one who has access to the License Key instead of the Client:

(eg: Money was exchanged for commissionee to purchase the Avatar, and then gave the customized assets to the Client.) The commissionee is responsible for keeping their Client updated to newer versions of the Avatar if requested. They are also not allowed to continue using that individual License Key purchased for the commission for multiple Clients. That specific Key is for that Client only. If the commissionee wishes to continue taking commissions for the Avatar, they must purchase their own License Key.

- Owners of the Avatar can also commission someone to make clothing/additives for the Avatar, for personal use or to distribute in Kuda's Server.

The above rule of 'the commissionee is not allowed to continue using the default Avatar assets after the commission has been concluded unless they purchase their own License Key' applies here as well.

>The purchaser/owner of this license does NOT have permission to:

- claim any ownership or authorship of the Unitypackage, FBX, or any containing assets creation.
- upload the default provided textures in the Unitypackage as a public avatar.
- share or distribute the raw assets OR altered/modified versions of the Unitypackage, FBX, or any containing assets OUTSIDE of Verified channels in Kuda's Server.
- share, distribute, or sell altered/modified versions of the Unitypackage, FBX, or any containing assets of the Avatar they have created as their own original creation on any platform.
- share or sell assets taken or cut from the Unitypackage, FBX, or any containing assets of the Avatar on any platform outside of Verified channels in Kuda's Server.
- distribute or sell the Avatar in any derivative work (like printing the model and selling it, etc)
- make any modifications to the Avatar or use the model in any way that's malicious or illicit in nature (as in anything antagonistic or harmful.)
- use the Avatar or any assets included in this package in NFTs in any way, shape or form.
