@Demonripper Interesting, but still needs a lot more to be polished. @hokma i constantly do giveaways on that avi, im doing 5 Goth 3 Syncdances rn so idk why you had to come down to this while im literally givin the full version for free in many ocassions, but o well you do you im not mad
kinda makes me happy to see my avis are just this popular and needed so if u need it just talk to me and we can make a deal

@demonripper Not sure what @gr1zzly means by "needs a lot of polish". Looks great, and it works fine in most aspects. You did an amazing job.
As for why, it's pretty obvious. Hundreds of dollars for kitbashed avatars that are upload-only. Giveaways don't fix predatory practices. Not cool man.
The metal (shoes, neck, waist, ears) and jewel (fingers) materials were the only things missing when imported.
I used Arktoon (Free here: https://booth.pm/ja/items/3280931) to replace the metallic and jewel shaders. For both the metal and jewels I used "fade refracted" without adding textures (there are none), and the material colors seemed to already be assigned for most.
The shoes and the cross chain came with correct coloring of #CCC9BE as its main, and 0/0/0 HDR with 100% alpha for the emission. I copied these over to the ones missing color: "B_Upper Leg Belt", "Razorblade necklace", and "Chains"(located on horns).
I also decided to CHANGE the "UV_3_Metal" material located on the object /Pierna/Socks to use arktoon, with the same material and colors as above. The zipper shader looked broken, for some reason.
If there are missing metallic textures I missed, repeat the steps above. Tell me about broken features, I'll look into fixing syncdance at some point, maybe.

I agree with @monara. Hundreds of dollars for an upload only avatar that is kitbashed with some 3.0 work is absurd. As someone who also creates models, I couldn't imagine charging my clients that. Their work profits off of the true work of others sadly. It also removes the ability to purchase the model and add customizations that you like yourself to it, which is the primary reason I did not buy their 'work'. I only had interest in their face tracking set-up, and wanted to see how it was done, but you can't even do that with upload only processes.
It saddens me that some people are so into needing NSFW bits for avatars they will spend hundreds of dollars to someone who is profiting off of other's work.
May be a hot take, but Gr1zzly is just using people's lust for 'hot anime characters' to make their money lol. -

I make custom face tracking (all UE base+blended shapes included) for myself, friends, and similar. I generally don't charge for my work.
From what I can tell the face tracking setup for this model was a drag and drop from here.
I used it to replace the existing, broken tracking on this rip. Unfortunately due to the rip it was having syncing issues, as well as oddities with the parameters not always being read (seemingly at random). A head transplant from the original model to the goth model is likely the best solution as it worked fine when tested, and there isn't any substantial mesh changes between the original and the goth edit.
Manuka is a sort of side project atm, but I might come back with a more feature-rich version. A list of assets people recognize would be best, as it'd be cleaner to add new meshes than repair ripped ones, even if not really nessecary.

@monara thank you so much! I was struggling to figure out which face traccking addon they used as I am unfamiliar with this creator's FT work before.
I am currently in the process of making my own FT for my current model, but, was working on FT for a friend who recently got their own and they had fallen in love with that one. -

but please try to sell your own works instead of copying someone elses, its kinda sad and lame.. id never do that... try to be original!!! maybe u can do way better works than mine!!!

@gr1zzly I think you misunderstood my intentions, I wanted to be able to look at it, to see how it works, to recreate it with the things I wish. I am someone who needs examples/visuals to understand how something works. I'm not extremely savy with unity to understand how to get something I want to work with an idea of how it works in the first place.
Truthfully, if I sold avatars, I would do it similar to gumroad prices, $60USD or such, at max. Especially since most of the base assets are not your own work, you just did the 3.0/blender/unity to combine said assets together.
I have no interest in using your work as an avatar, I personally enjoy creating my own pieces of art, which I share with friends freely. I just don't know the processes on how some things work.

dog the last two entry above me are cinema, @gr1zzly my boi you lowkey use others assets, some of which friends have made, just breath, small edits aint much nor is slight re-sculpting, which yah really didnt do so stop crying and lying my boi, calling your self a creator when most of its copy and past with small edits. more like a puzzle hobbyist, @yukiamariavrc yukia, good on yah for actually taking the time on learning and i wish you the best in your creator journey.
Edit: its not much of popularity, its just price lol.

@YukiaMariaVRC if u wanna look into it ill gadly help you guide through the process of the things i do, on my server i hace a #progress channel were u can look into it where i literally post about the whole process in it, so u dont really need the files to do so! im always available to help others out in how to make complex avis like mine, i have no problem in sharing knowledge, only in assets as some are made by me (Accessories) others are complete edits by me (hairs in some avis), clothing is all reconfigured and edited to be adapted to color changes with masks!

@Monara Hey i've been trying to add stuff to this avatar but the default fbx is misssing, do you have it or know a solution?
@chizu Not sure because the error doesn't really tell me which fbx is missing. I've been working on a lot of other projects lately. I can only suggest redownloading what I posted before, and hoping that works. I rarely work on repairing ripped assets, they're messy and annoying. This one was for a friend (who I ended up making something new for instead of continuing this), so I really don't have a good reason to go back and break up the flow of my current project rn. Very sorry.
