A simple and expressive avatar base for making your own birds and gryphons for VRChat!

(VRChat PhysBones update coming soon!)

Unity import instructions:

• Facial expressions, controlled by hand gestures
• Lip syncing visemes
• Customizable beak shape via BlendShapes
• Support for full-body VR movement
• VRChat-ready Unity package
• A scene with example avatars, and a scene with all bodies and parts preconfigured

• PSD files with templates for every body and add-on part
• Labeled UV map guides for texturing
• A Blender file containing all bodies and parts
