SawHalo VRCFury Edition!

Description

SawHalo is a circular saw-shaped halo for VRChat avatars.

You can use the Expressions Menu to show or hide the halo, switch between the normal and rusted appearances, rotate the blade, generate sparks, and play a sound effect.

SawHalo supports VRChat PhysBones. You can grab the halo, and other players can grab it as well.

The installation adds a "SawHalo" control to the avatar's Expressions Menu.

• SawHalo_On: Shows or hides the halo.
• Type: Switches between the normal and rusted appearances.
• Rotation_On: Rotates the halo.
• Effect_On: Generates sparks while the halo is rotating.
• Sound_On: Plays a sound effect while the halo is rotating. Be careful with the volume. PC only.

The Android version does not include the sound control because the sound gimmick is not supported there.

Menu choices are saved by VRChat and may override these defaults after they have been changed once.

Requirements

Install the following packages through the VRChat Creator Companion before importing SawHalo:

Tested with:

• VRChat SDK - Avatars 3.10.4
• VRCFury - 1.1371.0
• Poiyomi Toon Shader (required for the PC prefab) - 9.3.64

Modular Avatar and lilToon are not required by this VRCFury edition.

*The Android materials use VRChat-compatible mobile shaders and do not use Poiyomi.

**Unless otherwise noted, the videos and photos on this page show the lilToon version (BOOTH). The Poiyomi Toon version is slightly darker and shinier.

Installation

SawHalo can be installed on a humanoid avatar that has a Head bone.

1. Import the unitypackage into the avatar project.

2. Open the "Assets/SHIBRAMS/SawHalo_Fury/" folder.

3. Drag the appropriate prefab into the Hierarchy as a child of the avatar:

- SawHalo_Fury.prefab for PC

- SawHalo_Android_Fury.prefab for Android

4. VRCFury automatically attaches SawHalo to the avatar's Head bone and installs its controller, parameters, and menu.

5. If the position needs adjustment, edit the Transform values of the object named "__PLEASE_ADJUST_POSITION_OFFSET__" inside the prefab instance.

Use the PC and Android prefabs with the matching versions of the same cross-platform avatar.
