Fluffy Gryphons - CROSSPLATFORM!
Product Description
Includes Substance Painter .spp, all set up for painting! Plus .psd export - NEW!
Requires VRCFury!
Make sure VRCFury is installed BEFORE you install my .unitypackage, or you'll have to reinstall my .unitypackage once you've installed VRCFury! :)
The Fluffy Gryphons are now FULLY CROSSPLATFORM!
Pros: Wingless crossplatform gryphon is PC Good/Quest Medium! Winged crossplatform gryphon is PC Good/Quest Poor! They also use GoGoFly (https://franadavrc.gumroad.com/l/gogofly)!
Cons: Their feathers did not fit within the limitations of Quest polycount. Crossplatform gryphons have been plucked.

Designed for standing around in fullbody, this quad rig also shines in 3-point, and comes with tons of dances, VRChat's default emotes, and some custom poses for a little extra desktop expression! Shrink into a tiny hovering gryphon and wave your foreclaws around, soar in a special OpenFlight compatibility mode, give rides to friends, puppeteer your head by pulling it off your shoulders, sparkle on with AudioLink, GET PETTED with Warren's Fast Fur Shader, and MORE!
Warren allows redistribution of his shader so long as it is locked. Please consider purchasing Warren's shader (https://warrenwolfy.gumroad.com/l/atntv) for ease of retexturing this avatar while keeping its fuzziness intact!
A Substance Painter file is included, plus, for everybody out there who doesn't use it--the gryphon's main UV atlas is SYMMETRICAL! Woohoo!
This avatar also uses normalizedcrow's Feather/Fur Shader (https://normalizedcrow.gumroad.com/). This shaderpackage bakes data onto a copy of the mesh, which may confuse you if you go to revise or add blendshapes to the base .fbx in Blender... check normalizedcrow's Discord for support "rebaking" your mesh if you can't figure out how to update your blendshapes!
If you want to use Fara's Eye Generator in your Substance file, go buy it from Fara, unzip it and drag the .sbsar into your Assets pane, etc., then change the Eye Generator's "Physical Size" to 1.75cm (width and height), and its Offset to (0.168374, -0.436967) for one eye and (-0.168374, -0.436967) for the other. You can use it just like that, or get in deeper in Parameters > Pupil and change Size X and Size Y to 0.47.
BUG TRACKER: Warren's Fast Fur Shader remains under active development, as does its enabled module for Light Volumes. Check normalizedcrow's Shader Kitchen Discord for a Light Volumes update for the Fur & Feathers Shader! SUCKS IN A HUGE BREATH: fullbody users reset their root rotation every time they move with their joystick. The root rotation resets based on the rotation of their Head. Proper function of this avatar requires alignment between your root and your Hips; that is, fullbody users should look straight ahead when moving via joystick. Luckily the IK Assist toggle will cover the worst symptom of FBT root misalignment, which is constant stepping of the gryphon's hind feet! FBT users should also look straight ahead and push their joysticks every once and a while during OpenFlight to resolve any creeping misalignment issues showing in their gryphon's necks. Sorry! (To be 100% clear: FBT users can still move freely within their playspaces, like, with their actual bodies, without causing any problems. It's just joystick locomotion while looking to either side that can skew your root.)
As of now, I plan to support this avatar indefinitely. Please let me know if anything goes wrong for you!!

Terms of Service:
If you own the model, you may commission others to work on it, as well as take paid comms involving it or sell paid add-ons/upgrades to it (e.g. a saddle, kitbashing something else’s head on it, etc). Just make sure everyone involved owns it too. Oh, and you can upload Public versions of the avatar on VRChat! Totally fine.
In addition, so long as you own it, you may use it in your own work and as part of your own projects, so long as you in good faith believe the model itself represents no more than half of your finished product/you're putting a ton of your own work in on it (re-rigging, etc). Basically, if you need a gryphon for some reason, especially if it doesn't involve VRChat--you can go ahead and use this one! I don't mind. :V Thanks for buying it!
