Customize Textures

In [Assets] -> [Reverse Avali] -> [Resources~] (folder does not show up in Unity, use your file browser instead) are

• Substance Painter files
• untested Photoshop files exported from Substance Painter

Colors can be changed by changing the layer fill color

Quest limitations

The Quest does not support transparency, feathers will show with a black background instead

Known issues

• The Quest version needs its own texture instead of reusing the normal one due to decimation and suboptimal topology from the base model
• The FX Layer Controller has an empty mask to prevent the Gesture Layer Controller breaking, this is a workaround for a bug https://feedback.vrchat.com/avatar-30/p/1017-bug-default-fx-layer-in-client-breaks-gesture-layer-animations-sample-insid
• The right arm puppet is implemented in the action layer instead of gesture layer as a workaround for a bug https://feedback.vrchat.com/sdk-bug-reports/p/gesture-layers-will-motorcycle-pose-any-masked-humanoid-parts-that-are-not-curre
