*Changelog:
v1.0: Early Launch Page - More pictures and media coming soon!
v1.1: FREE DLC included - Umbra shader material with luma glow map + audiolink, ready for Furality!
v1.11: Added gesture overview text doc on how to puppeteer the default expressions!
v1.12: Updated documentation
v1.13: Added the Luma Glow mask used on the public demo as an optional download
v1.2: Fixes rare animated scale constraint issue, by replacing them with the officially supported Head Chop component. May require a new project.Also includes the v1.1 DLC material by default now.
v1.21: Added a new exploded .fbx for easier texturing!
v1.3: Lots of polish, feature additions and minor changes:
Material:
a) Switches from Flat shading to Realistic default material shading.
b) Animated baked eye glow by Marty added to all default materials. Baked eye glow map included for your own projects!
c) Un-crunched textures that were unintentionally crunched in release version
Gestures:
a) All instances of Blink Left and Blink Right blendshapes are replaced with driving the GestureBlink parameter (1 = full blink, 0=no blink)
b) SquintLeft now also drives the glow emission from the eyes. If you use individual eye control, you may have to disable this emission from the material, or split it between each eye.
c) Left Neutral/Right Open now also drives Brow Down blendshapes by 40%
Toggles:
a) VRCFury Toggle now directly animates hue shift property and distinctly keeps Body 1 hue shift at 0 (for future Morghus wings compatiblity). Also adds _MainHueShift=0 to 'Apply During Upload' script
b) Added Digitigrade Rig toggle which makes you plantigrade by setting the parameter DisableDigi to 1, which makes the digi constraint animations unwind and no longer play based on contact receiver parameters.
c) Gathered 4 toggles in a submenu called Body Toggles
Bugs:
a) Removed unused aim constraints and corresponding targets from armature. They were from an old version of the digi rig, they did nothing and weren't used at all. Removing them should make servicing the avatar less confusing.
QOL/Other:
a) Moved all empty game objects out of the armature and into the Empty game objects below, either with VRCFury Armature Link to reparent them, or with Root Transforms to respective bones where possible. This makes the overall project cleaner and easier to work with, I hope!
b) Changed Snout Universal Collider script to be a pill reaching all the way up to the forehead, instead of merely a ball, to reduce clipping and physbones snapping through it.
c) Increased Paw gravity from 0.25 to 0.35
d) HeadIK (the head) scaled to 0.97 in armature and this is also added to Apply During Upload for proportion reasons - if you don't want the head smaller than default, or have your own alternate scaling, simply delete this property by right clicking it and selecting "Remove Item", and revert HeadIK scale to 1 in armature.
v1.3a: Reoriented Viewport to match new head scale
v1.4: Anticlip update is live!
1) Anticlip Blendshapes for Morghus Hoodie, Windyote Tailbags and more (coming soon).
2) Splits custom avatar scaling off to a separate object, and moves arm scaling out of the SmallerArms animation to make its effects more transparent and easier to edit!
3) Adds a toggle for Floor Collider under Body Toggles
4) Adds a toggle for Sharp Claws under Body Toggles
5) Reverts armature head scale to 1, the custom scaling is now only present in the Customize Avatar Proportions object (to make sure placing add-ons on the head remains simple).
6) Removes two unused animations from the unitypackage
7) Blender File 0.55 (Anticlip) is backwards compatible and can be used to overwrite 1.2-1.4 projects, so long as you haven't already edited your .fbx, to add the new blendshapes... but take a backup first anyway. Export settings remain: FBX All Scaling / Add Leaf Bones.
Base Downloadables
V1.4 Update: Anticlip blendshapes, other additions. See changelog at bottom of store page
Primary downloads:
Unitypackage is not backwards compatible but the Blender File should be - as such, you can import newer blendshapes by overwriting the fbx, but take a backup of your project before you do!
Thanks for purchasing the Moonfang Dragon VRC avatar base for PC
Enjoy your new creaturish form >:}

3) VRCFury: https://vrcfury.com/download (1.959 confirmed, newer is fine)

Community Facetracking
Here are two community made versions of the Moonfang 1.4 fbx that include various levels of of Facetracking blendshapes! They both use Unified Blendshapes and should be overwrite-compatible with the fbx in the default Moonfang 1.4 unitypackage. These are not officially supported, and do not come with setup support beyond the bundled readme tutorial.
If you have made your own facetracked version of this avatar and wish to share it with others, ping me on Discord and I can add yours to the list!
Dosker's 1.4 Moonfang FBX:
Marty's 1.4 Moonfang FBX:
These are provided with permission from their respective creators to allow owners of the base avatar to instead customize one of the community FT versions, until I can hopefully provide an official version with facetracking blendshapes in the future.
1) Import the 1.4 Moonfang unitypackage as normal.
2) Replace the FBX with this bundled FBX - overwrite the file in explorer.
3) Import the Pawlygon Facetracking unitypackage
4) Find the Prefabs folder in the Pawlygon and drag the Unified Expressions prefab onto the root of the chosen avatar version.
5) Rename Creature Body in the avatar hierarchy to "body"
6) Upload avatar
If you import the bundled FBX into Blender for edits, the export settings should be:
FBX All scaling / Add Leaf Bones
Note this is an unsupported unofficial community edit, and it is not guaranteed to work.
