Looking For A Ripper - Chubby Miku

heya, ive gotten in contact with the avatar creator behind this, Elume, and ive personally reached out asking them if they had the avatar files for this one avatar. it comes with great sadness to say that they couldn't give me them even if they wanted to, since the project files for this avatar were destroyed when a few years ago, their GPU grenaded and killed their hole pc.
ive even offered to commission the creator to remake it, but they're uninterested in revisiting it since the model itself was modified in blender.
so, if anyone knows how to rip an avatars project files in modern day, please message me or use the link to the avatar above to download it directly. its public, and im just trying to preserve the avatar.

@thisistest2 heya, i dont have enough rep yet in order to actually respond via text message, if you could unpack it for me that would be awesome since i have no idea how to use VRCA
ideally if we could get it working as a unity project that would be preferred

@ApolloAFK Ah right I forgot about that system sorry lol
I can get it as a working unity project but ripping is a lot less time consuming then repairing a vrca
I rip for free since it takes a few seconds but if you want it repaired for free you will have to find someone else which you can keep posting and maybe someone else will show up
But other then that I'll definitely unpack the vrca and give you the files just give me a few moments to switch to my windows os -

@Thisistest2 can you elaborate on repairing it?
@ApolloAFK VRCA's are basically the broken down and trimmed parts of a uploaded avatar that vrchat reads on their side of things. Once you rip it from vrchats server you get it in a bunch of broken up assets. All the core things are there like the mesh, textures, shaders, animations etc. but the avatar is pretty shattered and it needs to be glued back together. You do get a prefab with the mesh, shaders, and layout the avatar once had but all the scripts, toggles, components, etc are broken and need to be rebuilt from the start.

You don't even get the meshes in fbx format anymore as they are in .asset files but you can re-export them from unity with varying results of success. Which you wont need to usually unless you want to edit something in blender.

@Thisistest2 i dont recall this having many toggles personally since this was a very early avatar, this one is so old that it doesnt even have gogo loco, so i think i might be fine on that front in terms of actually getting this working
as long as this works as a unity project i can just import though, im fine with some jank.
had some trouble in the past where someone ripped a model and it was just pure folders, no unity project file or anything. -

@ApolloAFK yeah thats what you get from ripping a avatar
Just the files -
Thats why it takes work to put it back together and why I don't do it for free lol

@Thisistest2 its a start i guess, but in theory, how much would i need to pay for the repair?
-
let me take a look for a sec
-
Depends how much I would need to fix up since every avatar is different
-
@Thisistest2 well, lemme know once you start ripping and we'll figure out a reward
im also willing to offer up stuff for trade for your services
-
@ApolloAFK Can you add me on discord?
@Thisistest2 in a bit, little occupied rn
-
-
kk take your time
@Thisistest2 friend request sent, sorry that took all day, my friend group and i had a long ass phone call to hash some stuff out
-
and then here I am broke as hell waiting for them to actually share the files
