Holiday Reindeer Antler Bundle for VRChat

Need something festive to wear to a winter holiday meetup? Add these Christmas and New Year's Eve themed reindeer/caribou antlers to your VRChat avatar!

This is the first of a planned series of seasonal decorated antlers.

Prerequisites & General Info

I recommend having at least enough Unity knowledge/experience to be comfortably able to upload your own avatars without much help before purchasing this asset. The NYE update and future updates will require VRCFury for easy installation.

The materials used require the use of a fur shader to display correctly.

The provided materials are pre-configured to use Warren's Fast Fur Shader - Lite which can be downloaded here (for free!). You can also make your own materials using other fur shaders if you like, but those may require a different kind of fur height map, which you will have to configure yourself for now.

The Xmas antlers have ~12.5k triangles and use one material slot with 1040x1040 px texture maps. The Unity package was made in version 2022.3.6f1.

Planned Updates (Winter 2024)

• Velvet version
• More light color options + AudioLink prefab
• Poiyomi Pro materials
• Better UV packing + PSD files
• More winter holidays!

Basic Setup Instructions

1. Before installing any packages or assets to an existing Unity project, always create a backup of it first. Accidents happen, from unintentional deletions to incompatible versions, and when things break they are often irreversible in Unity. VRC's Creator Companion app gives you a handy dandy little button to do this very easily before opening the project.
2. Download Warren's Fast Fur Shader - Lite (or your choice of fur shader) and import it by dragging and dropping the package file from your file explorer to the assets window.
3. Download and import the XmasAntlers Unity package. This should create a folder named "Xmas Reindeer Antlers" which will have two subfolders with FBX and material files along with a prefab.
4. Find your avatar's Head bone under the Armature in the hierarchy window. Drag and drop "XmasReindeerPrefab" directly underneath it (see image below). You will very likely have to adjust the position of the antlers and quite possibly the size. There are two blend shapes that adjust the width of the antler bases to help you fit them neatly onto your avatar.

Terms & Conditions

If you purchase this asset you may use the model for any personal projects as you see fit and may modify it to your liking. You may wear it on your avatar in monetized video and livestream as well as any other 3D social platform if you are ambitious enough to import it yourself. Public avatars are allowed and encouraged!

The "don't" list (with exceptions):

• Don't claim the asset itself as your own work.
  • Obviously take the credit for any fun modificatons you might have made. :)
• Don't share or re-sell the asset or any derivative work.
  • If you are commissioning an artist to edit/create a texture, you may share the Substance file and any texture maps with them.
  • If you are commissioning an artist to edit the 3D model who has not purchased the asset, please have them contact me directly for a copy via Discord (same username).
• Don't use the asset in a way that's malicious or antagonistic towards other people.
  • Use with NSFW avatars and other adult content is fine!
