Pooltoy Novabeast Pack
Added 2024-02-19 06:12:54 +0000 UTCTHIS DOES NOT INCLUDE THE AVATAR BASE OR ANY OF ITS FILES. You will need to already have the Novabeast avatar base in order to use it. Think of this product like an accessory pack that turns you into a pooltoy.
You can find the Novabeast here: https://kittomatic.gumroad.com/l/Novabeast
QUEST IS CURRENTLY NOT SUPPORTED. I'll update this to support the quest version of the Novabeast once it's out.
What's Included:
- Unitypackage with everything you need to turn your Novabeast into a pooltoy!
- Prefabs for the various pooltoy accessories for easy installation with VRCFury
- Preconfigured Poiyomi 8 materials that you'll be able to put your own basecolor texture into
- Substance painter file for pooltoy handles/valves/warning label
- Blender file with the different handle configurations
- Individual height/normal maps for pooltoy normal map details
- Substance painter smart material that neatly packages said heightmaps
- Just drag and drop into your Novabeast project!
- Separates out various elements, like seams and surface texture, into separate layers to make it easier to adjust them
Unity Setup (with VRCFury https://vrcfury.com/):
- Make sure Poiyomi Toon 8 is installed
- Add your character’s associated basetexture to each material in “PooltoyNovabeast/Materials”
- Assign each pooltoy material to the corresponding slot on your avatar’s body mesh
- Drag the accessory prefab from "PooltoyNovabeast/Accessories/Prefabs" you want to use onto your avatar’s hierarchy
Licensing/Restrictions:
- Do not redistribute the files or claim them as your own. If someone needs the files to perform a commission for you they'll need to buy the asset.
- This includes selling/distributing the files as part of a derivative work or larger package.
- You can make whatever modifications you like, provided they do not promote amoral or unlawful activities.
- If you make a public avatar with this asset, you must have something clearly crediting the source (the included warning label works for this purpose). If you make significant edits, you must also credit yourself for your own work!
I also have a public avatar uploaded that uses this asset:

Please be aware that it does have certain features/material attributes that are not included in this product for various reasons.

Changelog
Changelog:
1.0 (2/19/2024):
Initial release!
1.1 (4/14/2024):
Mostly focused on getting feature parity with the public avatar now that the free version of Poiyomi 9 has released.
Updated to Poiyomi 9 Toon
This means you'll need to get Poiyomi 9 when you update if you don't already have it.
Material properties brought in-line with the public avatar, which was using 9 Pro before.
Now supports the water drop effect slider!
Updated to latest VRC Fury
Now adds an expressions menu that allows toggling of the different pooltoy elements.
You'll probably need to update to the latest VRCFury, and you'll need to replace the existing pooltoy accessory prefabs with the new ones. The new ones are in subfolders marked "A", "B", and "C".
Added "worn" version of the materials, and renamed the previous ones to "pristine".
1.1.1 (12/25/2024):
Swapped controller parameters to global so that other pooltoy packages can listen to them.
Fixed some texture import settings.
1.2.0 (8/24/2025):
Updated to Novabeast 1.2!
Redid the handles/air valves to my new standard
Updated to poiyomi 9.1 (9.2 seems to be getting its specular behavior adjusted so I'm holding off on updating to that for now)
Added install tool along with alternate accessory options
Swapped to VRCFury components for configuration options
1.2.1 (8/26/2025):
Added back the global parameters and adjusted some minor material settings.
1.2.2 (9/1/2025):
Disabled LTCGI by default since it was actually causing lighting issues on a number of worlds.
