Public Versions You Can Try First!

These publics are of the Safe Version of the avatar. Only use the VRCFT version if you have face-tracking!

The Zay'fri is an avatar that demands attention to its intimidating features; it is truly an eye-catcher that will cause many eyes to wander unto you. You can choose to wear the carved skull mask to cover the under layer of beauty, or to show your beautiful features to everyone by lifting up the skull of a conquered beast.

Its outfit demands respect, covered in a variety of bones and fur, trophies from the numerous beasts slain by the hands of such a powerful warrior. You may choose to show as much of your skin as you'd like, stripping off all the armor and mask if you choose, or you can be the true warrior a Zay'fri really is, and display your combat prowess to everyone around you by dawning the full attire.

You may also choose to wear the painted markings of the tribes of Zay'fri, which can look as simple as black charcoal, or can be made of bioluminescent materials, glowing and sometimes even reacting to the sound around you.

Overall, the Zay'fri is an avatar that can either leave you feeling like the true warrior you wish to be, or can be chosen to display as the beautiful layer underneath all that prowess.

Avatar Details

Lots Of Menu Options

• Gesture toggle
• Brightness lowerer, so you can look less bright when you wanna look sick at a rave with all your flashy lights.
• Thick and thin slider.
• Custom blink animation that can be toggled off.
• Tail shrink slider
• Eye hue shift slider
• Body paint for color layer
• Body paint emission layer with a slider for how strong you want the emission to be.
• Hue shift for previous emission
• Audiolink mode for body paint emission.
• Mood puppet that slightly alters the base expression of the avatar.
• Tail wag animation toggle
• Toggle to turn on/off ground collider (can be useful if you want to lay down so tail doesn't clip around)
• Toe control puppet that allows you to move and pose the toes.
• Ear pose menu that allows you to pick from either the default pose that is controlled by gestures, or 3 alternate ear poses.
• GoGo Loco by Franada included in download.
• Mask Toggle

Menu stuff for other versions

• VRCFT Menu from Jerry's template if you use the VRCFT version.
• Clothing menu that allows you to toggle all the pieces of the tribal bone armor individually. The mask toggle is in this menu in this version.
• NOTE: If you are using the VRCFT version, some menu options had to be stripped to provide parameter space. Mainly the puppets.

Full Gestures

• 7 gestures that are attached to your left hand. All work seamlessly with the custom blink animation.
• Each gesture of course changes your expression but also controls your ears to do something different.

Physbones

Many physbones for the following:

• Breasts
• Tail
• Butt
• Hair
• Thigh Jiggle
• Ears
• Cheek Fluff
• Toes for ground collision
• Clothing

My Experimental Advanced Rig

• Extra body blendshapes that are driven by empty physbone rotations and colliders to help your body deform during more extreme angles.
• With this, things such as awkward torso rotations and bends as well as your legs folding weirdly up into your hip when you kick your leg up are fixed!
• These look very nice for people who like to dance!
• While this does use a handful of physbone components, since they are not actually deforming any mesh, performance impact is minimal.
• This can be toggled off in the in-game menu if you dislike it for any reason.
• Video in gallery of the difference these make!
• Additional knee and elbow bones are placed so they deform better.
• Twist bones on the arm that partially rotate your lower arm when your hand rotates.
• As a forewarning, some clothing you might make from scratch may require you to make these matching blendshapes if you want them to work with the advanced rig, but if you don't care enough, you may always turn the advanced rig off.

Full Face-Tracking Support

• Comes with most of all the Unified Expressions blendshapes.
• Ears wiggle when you smile and go down when you frown.
• Looking left and right will slightly rotate your ears to where you are looking.

Actually Working Fingers

• The skeleton 2.0 update broke a lot of avatar's hands, but I made sure to finely tune and fix this avatar so that it plays nicely with it and looks good!
• Plays nicely with the new hand-tracking update for the quest pro and most likely future glove controllers.

How to set up:

DO NOT HAVE THE DEGEN AND SAFE VERSION IN THE SAME PROJECT, THIS CAN CREATE ISSUES.

• If you haven't already, follow this guide to set up your SDK.
• Create a new unity project.
• Preferably with the newer SDK Unity version of 2022 (2019 is not tested and probably broken, please just update!)
• Import the VRChat SDK (Use the VCC tool for most optimal results)
• Import VRCFury (Use the VCC tool)
• Import Poiyomi (Use the VCC or import the newest Poiyomi asset file from their Github)
• (Optional) If you plan to use VRCFT for face-tracking, add Jerry's template to your project. (Use the VCC tool)
• (Optional) If you plan to use the degen version, install funny pen system (Use the VCC tool)
• Import the files from the provided unity asset file, open the "HighCD" folder, the avatar's folder, then open the scene file named "OPEN ME"
• The version on the right is the normal version and the version on the left is the VRCFT version.
• Ready to upload.
• When you go to upload make sure you have the correct version selected, don't choose the VRCFT version unless you have face-tracking.

Avatar Statistics

Please note that this is the avatar with absolutely EVERYTHING. Including the funny pen system and the clothing.

Without the outfit, the avatar is only 2 skinned meshes.

All versions are Very Poor due to polygon count, but either way, a lot of things can be stripped off to improve performance without lowering the performance rank if you're a performance nut.

Audio Sources are from funny pen system, otherwise avatar has no Audio Sources.

Many of the physbone components are from the advanced rig and are only on empty gameobjects to drive parameters, so their performance impact is insignificant.

Further Lore (It's ok you can skip I understand lol)

The First Shattering Era ( 2436 - 2745 )

In the darkest reaches of an unkempt jungle planet by the name of Zayten-5 in its infancy, aliens unknown to its soil tinker with the still evolving creatures' genetics as a science experiment.

As an attempt to create a genetically engineering super soldier, these aliens altered a pre-sapient species, the Fri, as they were once called, subtly over time, granting them a heightened set of intelligence, intelligent enough to start making tools, building tribes. It is by this point that they had been given the more proper name by their creators, the Zay'fri, the beginning of the suffix coming from their home planet.

The Second Shattering Era ( 2745 - 2793 )

During the Second Shattering, their makers were completely destroyed in intergalactic warfare, but the Zay'fri were left untouched for unknown reasons.

After being discovered by their new machine owners, The Techarus, the final Zay'fri was cryogenically frozen in the year 2783 upon a gigantic ringworld that spanned around a sun.

The New Millennia Era ( 3000+ ):

In the year 3000, at the start of the new millennia, the Zay'fri as well as many other species had a large collection of their frozen species cloned and introduced into a quarter section of the ringworld in a large collective society in a large experiment by the Techarus to study the society of organics.

These clones of the original Zay'fri found it difficult to fit into the more organized society of many different alien races. While few of them stayed to try and adapt, a large majority of them started a long voyage across the Ringworld that spanned many years. The ones who have left have completely isolated themselves from the rest of the Ring, retreating into the more ecological side of the ring. Some residents question the possible danger of them forming an opposing force to the main occupation of the ring.

The Zay'fri that stayed with the rest of the society on the ring found it hard to fit in with the rest of them. With their powerful genetics, many consider them a danger to be around. Some of them try their best to fit in with the rest of them, while others are more rowdy and outwardly combative as they were genetically engineered to be.
