RazKobold - (Kobold/Dragon Avatar base for VrChat)

This is the RazKobold, a kobold/dragon avatar base created by me, Razra! This model is very customizable with different body shapes and expressions so you can make it uniquely you with ease. The avatar is ready to upload to VRChat for PC and while it can be used on Quest it will of course lack any features that the Quest its self does not support.

See below for instructions on how to set up the project using VRC Creator Companion, VRCFury and Poiyomi Toon Shader.

Try the public versions by clicking those buttons and clone it on the VRChat website!

This avatar contains many customization features including:

• 5 different pairs of Horns with 7 more shapekeys to give them further customizable shapes
• Spikes from head to tail! Spikes for the nose, cheeks and even eyebrow spikes, all of which can be toggled to make just the right look you want.
• Fluff! Kobolds can be fluffy too, if you want fur on your head, back or tail its a toggle away.
• Fins and frills for the head down to the tail, even the ears, cheeks and the sides of the tail for those with a penchant for all things fluid.
• There's also 4 mixable overall body shapekeys you can use to get your look just right ranging from thin, wide, and buff to a feminine slider
• 3 pieces of clothings, a harness, a loincloth as well with arms and legs warmers

All of the above features are customizable in unity but many of them are toggleable in game as well! Please try the public version of the avatar if you'd like a good idea of how they work before purchasing.

In addition to the above customizable features the RazKobold includes:

• All the required Viseme shapekey
• MMD world compatible shapekeys that work right away!
• Built with full body tracking in mind from the ground up, fully compatible and looks great!
• Many expressions with the ability to toggle overall mood in game.
• Tail collision with the floor with a fail-safe for those that use play space moving below the floor.
• Toes Puppet controllers and floor collision, wriggle those toes or stomp to the beat!
• Many base textures to choose from:
  5 Body textures (gray, blue, green, red, yellow) and a generic texture with no pattern.
  4 Fur textures (blue, green, red, yellow)
  4 Eyes textures (blue, green, red, yellow)
