The Vixine

This model is ONLY sold by Hecka, on Jinxxy (hi!) and hecka.gumroad.com (not ideal)

--

The 'Vix' is a species defined by its Cat, Fox, and Rabbit-like characteristics, with The Vixine being an example of cat-dominant, fox secondary physiology. A variety of mix-and-match blendshapes let you tune up your look for this sporty creature!

--

All customization is available to tinker with on the demo model, available at the Public Demo World!

For links to a number of official and add-ons like skins and clothing, I link everything at the top of the official Vix webpage. Check it out for a fun feature tour so you know what you're getting into!

Discord access is recommended after purchase. Alternatively, it's accessible through subscribing on Ko-fi, or simply by being cool and hanging out in relevant spaces.
You can verify your purchase for a fancy role, Come say hi! Otherwise, please contact me on my socials or discord if you have immediate needs, I'm always happy to help.

//Included in this purchase:

- Unity Package (Unity 2022 + corresponding VRC SDK)
- Working Files (Blender 4.0, FBX, Substance 9.1.1, PSD (exported from substance, requires additional setup)
- Clean exported textures of the clothing, no extra setup required

//Required installs:

- VRC Creator Companion - manages your unity file and makes installation of other files easy
- VRCFury - Required as of 1.2. A 1.1 all-in-one version remains available as a legacy download, but is unsupported
- Poiyomi Version 8.1 or up - Required to see/edit most of the default materials.
- Further instructions are in the downloads page, just under the unity package!

//Avatar Features:

- PC ready at Medium quality, with Good performance possible if you limit your outfit and don't max out your textures.
- Fullbody encouraged, with a custom digitigrade rig
- Facetracking
- MMD compatible visemes and a suite of manual 2D puppets for nuanced face control
- uses Poiyomi 8.1 (Toon Outline by default), to take advantage of UVTile Discard to hide body and clothing parts. A number of other features also control variables within the shader through toggles and animations.
- a suite of RGBA masking textures and examples, allowing simple texture edits directly in unity.


- custom locomotion animations/poses. It comes pre-loaded with stock GogoLoco to give it some flair. IF GOGOLOCO IS A SELLING POINT TO YOU, please consider dropping a tip for the creator, Franada, by purchasing it for their asking price or more! This also grants you any future updates to the system. I do want to adjust some animations to make them play better with the vix's particular leg shapes.
- Quest version - This is currently doable, with a lot of editing and optimizing on your part. I'm working on a quest-ready version and have a test demo up! Until I'm comfortable with the performance, I'm not advertising it as quest ready, so if you're looking to do so I ask you know what you're doing already. I offer no refunds after you've acquired the files.

//Usage:

• You may use the avatar in any edited form, to represent yourself in VRChat (and other spaces if you're savvy enough to convert), or as a vtuber (you will have to perform setup for VRM yourself), or in any other 3D medium. If you are a streamer or commissioner, I request you don't use the stock white cat skin with orange eyes. An avatar representing 'you' must be unique to yourself in some capacity! If you're interested in doing a render of Hecka or just 'the Vix' in general, message me.
• If you are Commissioning 3D art with the avatar, consider discussing this with me to ensure you get the most of the model. Taking on a new policy, I recommend the artist speak with me to get the high poly sculpt and correct textures, and to ensure they understand this is a paid model that is not to be shared. I want you to get the most out of this! I do not have a standardized animation rig set up for it at the moment, and various textures and blendshapes are built with VRC in mind and will need some wrangling!
• You are free to create assets such as textures or clothing, both for commission or distribution via gumroad. (SEND ME LINKS SO I CAN SHARE THEM!) In the case of commissions, ensure both parties own the model (verified role on the discord is a reliable check!). You may do whatever you like after that.
  - In the case of distribution, You may not include large portions of the original model in the final deliverable. If it involves blend shapes, you can only deliver it as an installer, not a full replacement FBX (unless you're 100% vetting if they've purchased the original)
• Do not use AI generative software to translate screenshots into new images, nor use it to perform retexturing. It will look bad and I will be embarrassed.
• There is no commercial license. Generally, streamers/tubers get a pass for usage (credit me when applicable, like, in a description or something!), but redistributing the model in an edited form is off the table.
• You may not upload a publicly usable edit of the model, unless 1: it's to demonstrate an add-on you made for it, and 2: it keeps the info card or other contact info to advertise what assets are being used.
