~ i try to learn as much as i can about making avatars so every one is more optimized and higher quality than the last! ~ everything on AKARA is scratch except the base/head, hair and tattoos <3 credits and stats at the bottom of the page

toggle showcase

AKARA is a GOOD OPTIMIZED avatar :)

-sps versions are very poor

she has two outfits - every piece of clothing is individually toggleable! yes, her clothing toggles OFF

~ features ~

PHYSBONES! everything on the avatar that looks like it should move, does!!! no missing physbones despite being opti -physbones also toggle off with clothing aka better performance :)

FACETRACKING! arkit blendshapes that are tweaked to look very expressive! most likely works best with quest pro as that is the headset i used to test it :)

UV DISCARD! she is only two meshes and five materials! her outfits are atlased and they utilize global masks meaning only one texture and one mask per material - while retaining quality!!

DISSOLVE! pretty dissolve toggles for every clothing/acc toggle, as well as a full dissolve for dancers or just for fun

(PC) sps and vrcft versions included

(QUEST) vrcft version included

~ toggles (see toggle video for more)

despite heavy optimization, i tried to make her as customizable as possible

- CLOTHES -

top, dress, skirt, underwear, no top, no underwear

- ACC -

symmetrical socks, asymmetrical socks, no socks, arm straps, belt, piercings

- CUSTOM -

skin color, chest size, bottom size, ponytail length, tattoos, tattoo emission, black sclera

- COLORS -

eye hue, clothes hue, tattoo hue (emission), hair hue, hair saturation, hair brightness, hair emission strength, hair emission hue, hair emission saturation

- MISC -

full body dissolve, sparkle particles (shown in gif at top of page!!! and toggle video)

~ quest version

quest version is missing saturation sliders and hair brightness slider, dissolve, eye hue, black sclera and the accessories are condensed in to one toggle, ALL OTHER TOGGLES ARE THE EXACT SAME ON QUEST :) love yall

(see the last video at the top for pc/quest toggle comparison)

quest vs. pc unity view (no post processing, just normal old unity!)
