Unity

Important:


You can either set up your own materials and textures OUTSIDE of the "Materials" Folder located in the main Nyxian folder, OR export the textures on the preexisting materials to REPLACE them. If you want to use the Brightness and Hue Shift menu options, export and replace the preexisting texture files. Otherwise, set up your own materials and textures in a folder separated from the main Nyxian folder.


It's recommended to set up a custom/personal folder for scenes, animations, and other changes OUTSIDE the "Nyxian" folder. This will allow you to install future updates of the Nyxian without deleting your customized changes. (If you wish to reuse materials to keep the Brightness and Hue Shift, move them into your personal folder after changing them.)


Do NOT unpack any of the prefabs, this can and will break many things.




Follow the steps below to set up your Unity project:


Create a new avatar project using Creator Companion for Unity 2022 (2022.3.22f1).


Import the newest versions of VRCFury and Poiyomi Toon Shader.


Open your project and import the "Nyxian V1.0" (or whatever the current version is) Unity Package.


If you are new to avatar uploading, or want to keep it simple, open the "Nyxian" or "Nyxian Quest" scenes (depending which version you wish to upload).


Prefabs are included for those that want to customize and set things up on their own.


(It's recommended to save a new, personal scene for the reasons listed in "Important.")

Please make sure to use the Prefabs and NOT the FBXs. The prefabs are ready to upload, the FBXs will have no VRChat components on them.




For Face Tracking:


Import Jerry's Templates


Click and drag the "UE Face Tracking" prefab (found in the "Prefabs" folder) into the hierarchy, then onto your avatar.




For Clothes:


Click and drag the corresponding prefab (found in the "Prefabs" folder) into the hierarchy, then onto your avatar. Then you're done!




Using Modular Menu (MM):


Your menu is now located ON your avatar in the Hierarchy!


Simply delete anything you don't want or need. Or, start from scratch using the individual prefabs (located within the "ModularMenu" folder)
