Version 3.0

IMPORTANT NOTES AND MAJOR CHANGES:

This change does NOT apply to VRM/VSF and ChilloutVR files.
Project is updated to Unity 2022 (2022.3.22f1).
Project now uses Prefabs instead of Scenes, which requires VRCFury (1.970.0 or latest) and Poiyomi Toon Shader (9.0.57 or latest).
Do NOT import the new Unity Package into the old projects. It might break your project.
Do NOT unpack the Prefabs.
4 Fingers, 5 Fingers, and Quest versions are now in a single Unity Package.
Expanded Items are now in a separate Unity Package, which contains prefab that can be dragged and dropped into your avatar.
Setup your material, textures, scenes, and any other customization OUTSIDE the “Dragon” folder.
It’s recommended to duplicate the included materials and put them in your own personal folder SEPARATED from the “Dragon” one, then use them to have your textures on.
For Face Tracking, import Pawlygon's template (https://vcc.pawlygon.net/), then drag and drop the “UE Face Tracking Prefab” located in the “Dragon/Prefabs” folder into your avatar.
Texture, PSD and Substance Painter (8.3.1) files have been reworked. Old textures should still be compatible.
Now on Gumroad you can upgrade your Basic Version by purchasing the “Expansion Upgrade”, which contains the same files as the Expanded Version. The Upgrade will be $15 instead of $20 for one week!
Terms of Service have been changed, please check at Gumroad’s store page.
Gumroad’s download page is now setup in different sections with instructions.
