Quite cute! Well done, can't wait to see more~

Thanks!

New post????!!!

More art! Been a year since I posted anything haha!

A cutie~

Also wow I can't wait to use the public model on Neos, that's gonna look so much better >w<

That version needs some work as I cannot import my own shaders yet.. But eventually they will enable us :)

Soon tm, as they say

Cute space raptor.

Thank you! ^V^

Dayum.. faithful to the cannon yet detailed.. you absolutely rock!!

Thank you! Though keep in mind this is a more personal version, the images of the one I am working on for the public is much more accurate! ~

Oh he is cool ! It's very nicely done^^

Thanks! :D

Might I offer a suggestion for the teeth to be longer or a feather skirt? Posts https://www.furaffinity.net/view/12689618/ and https://www.furaffinity.net/view/28019314/ respectively

So the teeth, I actually followed that ref as close as I can, However I encountered a few problems that led me having to make them shorter for the jaw to shut properly with the teeth line up naturally. I did try to get 1:1 as I can, but I had to make a few compromises due to minor artistic errors from the authors. here is a close up of the mouth~ https://i.imgur.com/rPdOGHg.png I did add a feather skirt to what would work best for the model and poses with little issues, anything bigger causes a lot of headaches.. https://i.imgur.com/Gg2PsBW.jpg

Raahn up here has had a few tweaks his figure. It shape I personally wanted of an Avali being a little taller with a more up right posture, head and hands are much smaller with a narrower waistline.

You can have a sneak peak of the more accurate models here https://i.imgur.com/ZvKUIze.png This is the version I will be publishing when I am done~ The things I choose to change from the original concepts was to make the head about 15% smaller because it just looked a little weird in 3D, Same with the feet, just trying to keep the proportions as balanced and more realistic.

Over all, it is all very much a work in progress I do appreciate the feedback a lot! There are a lot of things that need to be done like more crests variations, a female texture with the stripes, and fix a lot of the shading errors as well as design a custom shader for it. I am also thinking a a painted variant for Quest users.

This is one of the most lore-accurate and good looking models I have seen so far!

Out of curiosity: How many polys does it have - or to be a bit more generic, what is the performance impact especially in VRC?

Thank you! :) If you wanted to see the more accurate model, see what I commented in response to emergncy-airdrop up there~ As for the model, It is around 32K triangles~ The performance in VRC has been very good with little to no performance impact at all in an empty default home. Even with the fur shader it us supposedly Quest compatible. But I cannot test that as I do not have one. I have done as much professionally to optimise it as much as possible! :)

Thanks a lot for the info! I dare say 32k tris isn't much at all compared to what some avatars on VRC have, this makes me really (patiently) excited to see the model myself and maybe even get it. Well done! (:
Not sure if I overlooked it but how do you plan on distributing the model? Do you already have a store in mind or is it just going to be a simple download?

Yeah, I managed to keep it right in the ballpark for VRC II will very likely be distributing it on Gumroad for a small price, Mostly just to support me and keep me motivated to keep it updated.~ ^V^

Well done work like the Avali deserves to be compensated in a fair way, at least in my opinion. As I said, I am looking forward to the public release! (:

Hehe! Stay tuned! hopefully I can get a public release before the end of the year! ^v^

This looks amazing!
Can't wait to check out the details how it was made! Goid feathers are not an easy thing from my experience!

They can certainly be a challenge at first~

You're releasing a public version and it works well with VRChat? Wow that's one awesome model you're willing to release for free unless I'm mistaken!

Well not for free, a small price though, thinking around $15 - $20, keeping it low because I do want it accessible still.~

Still cheap for such high quality work imo, but great!

Thanks so much! :)

So that is what you been working on, very cute. 😍

Indeed! Thank you! ^V^

Thanks!

Oh this is so lovely! I'm glad to see you upload again c:

Thanks! And there is more to come soon! :)

this is the most amazing avali model ive ever seen *o*

Aww, thank you! ^V^

Wow.. it's like the IRL version of the usually cartoony variants of Avali. This is incredible man. I would LOVE to sport this model! Can't wait to support you once you release it!

Thank you! I do hope to get something released at least early 2021, just trying to figure out how I should approach certain aspects and make it as easy and accessible as possible. :)

The fluff is so gooooood.

BEST! AVALI MODEL! EVER!

Awwe~ Thank you!

That's an amazing render! I'd always wondered what an Avali would look like in a more realistic style. If I every get VR gear I would definitely pay money for something like this.

Not even a render, actually real time.. XD Might come out eventually, just been super busy! Been several updates since this submission~

Cute!

Thanks!

Adore the feather texturing on the crest, under the skirt and under the paws! Wow!
How's this goin', anyhow?

Thank you! Still a lot of work to be done and planning how I should distribute. ~
