This anthro Kitty was my first try at making a character completely from scratch and bringing him into VR (specifically VRChat). For this I made the Concept Art, Sculpting, Retopology, Textures, Rigging (inlcuding Rig) and setup for VR in Photoshop, Blender, Substance Painter & Designer and Unity.
--------
The focus here was on making this an easy to use, feature rich and adjustable product.

Here are some of the features and content for this avatar:
- 4 different Base Textures (2 Leopard variants, 2 Tiger variants)
- Toggleable Expressions, Antlers and Clothing including Blendshapes to minimize clipping
- MMD (Miku Miku Dance) Compatibility (requires specific Blendshapes for facial animation)
- Face Tracking animated by Jerry's VRCFT Templates using unified expressions (similar system to FACS)
- Physbones for Ears and Tail (physics simulation system for bones from VRChat)
- VRM Model for VTubing with VSeeFace, Liv, etc. for all 4 Texture variants (Virtual Reality Model, VRM, is a gltf based format for creating shareable avatars for VR, common for VTubers)
- VRCFury, GoGo Loco & Poiyomi Shader (Mostly VRChat specific packages: VRCFury for easier adjustment of Avatar with assets and toggles. GoGo Loco for additional movement options and adding premade poses and animations. Poiyomi Shader is a stylized Shader most common for VRChat avatars)
