Paw Pop | Pastel Paw Footprints & Sparkles | 5 Colors | Shinano | VRChat PC

Soft little paw prints with every step.

Paw Pop adds hand-painted pastel paw footprints and a playful splash of tiny stars to your VRChat avatar. Sparkles travel along varied arcs, with different heights, speeds and directions. Soft cream borders and pencil-like texture suit everyday pastel outfits.

FIVE COLORS INCLUDED

Pink, Lavender, Mint, Baby Blue and Apricot. Choose your color in the Expressions menu without opening Unity. Existing footprints and colored sparkles update together. Includes a separate ON/OFF toggle; initial defaults are OFF and Pink. Both controls are configured as saved and synced.

FITTED TO STANDARD SHINANO / PC ONLY

Place one prefab directly under the avatar root. Modular Avatar integrates foot attachment, FX, parameters and menus. Appearance and all five colors were approved in the Windows PC VRChat client using standard Shinano.

Salt and other avatars are NOT fitted or tested. Changed body proportions, leg length, footwear or avatar scale may need adjustments. Not compatible with standalone Quest or Android.

BEHAVIOR AND LIMITATIONS

Prints remain in place and fade naturally; there are no floating paw particles. Intended for flat floors with colliders. Prints do not conform to slopes or stairs. Stationary foot lifting may not trigger the movement gate. OFF stops new emission while existing particles fade.

Safety/avatar visibility/particle settings can hide effects on other clients. ON/OFF and color are configured as synced; contact and particle simulation run per client, so exact positions, counts, timing and trajectories are not synchronized.

VR headset, multiple-client synchronization, saved-state restoration after login and other avatars have not been tested.

ASSET BUDGET

One shared atlas; five colors do not duplicate textures. Ten palette materials, two active at once. Twelve ParticleSystems total (eight visible), capped at 160 visible particles / 320 triangles. Adds nine synced parameter bits. No real lights, shadows or trails. These are asset counts, not an avatar performance-rank or FPS guarantee.

CREATION / IMAGES

AI-generated imagery was used for the painted source artwork and promotional cover. The cover is a styled promotional image. The gallery includes four unaltered VRChat client screenshots, an edited real-gameplay video, and a Unity-rendered five-color reference.

TERMS / SUPPORT

Modification, images/videos and monetized streams are permitted. Redistribution, resale and incorporation into Public VRChat avatars are prohibited. Full terms are included in LICENSE_EN.txt.
