Welcome to the Optimized Rebuilt Novabeast!!!

Here's what's changed:

- New Icons from Artemis (lost her discord, if you know her or are her, hmu :D )

- Unity setup with three avatar versions easy to modify (PC/Quest/Fallback)

- Floor Height grid is now visible on Quest

- Added Wolffie's Idle's and Interaction's with custom expressions and toggles (with permission)

- Some touchups with the controller to have the goggles have a nice lil half second animation.

- Added a slightly faster tail wag if you do both hands thumbs up gesture.

- I kept a legacy version that uses the mostly untouched .fbx from the last update (available via the discord)

- New Unity scene that doesn't use prefabs for each new .fbx version.

- Has a lil setup for a custom thumbnail, there's a posed novabeast model set up. Toggle it on and either set it as the custom camera or right click and do "Align View with Selected" to use it. Uses the Windows mesh/materials.

- Three new .fbx for optimizations sake (specs below)

- The Fallback and Android versions have merged fluff/eye/body materials, same UV layout tho

- Android version has the same body material as the Fallback, but has an additional Eye material. Eye lid/lashes are merged with the body material too, eyes aren't

- Added a thumbnail base. This isn't included in upload and isn't required to delete before uploading either. The thumbnail uses the base. If you'd like a matching thumbnail with minimal effort, just apply your materials and copy/paste accessories (that don't have more than one bone) to match!

- Fallback version linked to all the base's toggles!

- You will need to edit the textures a little bit to have them fit the base textures. Use the default textures as a reference. It's not difficult (its only to merge the three textures to one) and I've been told it can be done in MS paint lol

- removed blush (personal taste, wasn't able to get it to work consistently enough, trigger was confusing lol)

- removed pallete swap toggle (also personal taste, never seen anyone actually use it)

Updated Specs:

PC Version:

Medium rank on PC, incompatible with Android/iOS

13 physbone components, 106 physbone transform count, 42320 poly count, 6 material slots.

Quest:

Good rank On Windows, Medium rank on Android/iOS

4 physbone components, 20 physbone transform count, 13992 poly count, 2 material slots, 101 bones

Fallback:

Good rank on Windows; Good rank on Android/iOS

3 physbone components, 16 physbone transform count, 9947 poly count, 1 material slot.

If you add any additional meshes, such as clothes, the fallback will no longer work as a fallback.

All three have the same parameters/controller/toggles and should be easily synced between platforms, including if you use the fallback.

If you upload the fallback, it has to be uploaded to both Windows and Android as a separate avatar.

Known UV and topology issues on the fallback and quest .fbx, sorry!! No plan to fix unfortunately :/

This is also a "repost" to jinxxy from the original post I made in the discord server well over a year ago now. I do not have plans to update these files anymore. Support isn't necessary, but it's more than appreciated! If you'd like me to do similar things to other bases, I'm happy to talk! If there's interest I'd be more than happy to optimize other bases :)

It may also say "WarpedKarma6471" in some parts of the files, that's my previous alias.
