#### Avatar Toolkit is in Alpha and will contain issues, please ensure you report them!
|
|
|
|
Avatar Toolkit is a modern, Blender addon designed to streamline the process of preparing 3D avatars for virtual platforms including VRChat, ChilloutVR, Resonite, and other similar applications.
|
|
|
|
## What is Avatar Toolkit?
|
|
Avatar Toolkit simplifies the workflow for avatar creation and optimization by providing an all-in-one solution that:
|
|
- Automates complex optimization processes like mesh joining and vertex merging.
|
|
- Provides advanced tools for eye tracking setup and viseme configuration.
|
|
- Offers specialized armature utilities including bone name conversion for different platforms.
|
|
- Includes performance-focused optimization tools so you can optimize your avatar for platforms like VRChat and ChilloutVR.
|
|
|
|
The addon is built with a focus on user experience, reducing the number of steps needed to prepare avatars while offering powerful customization options for advanced users. Avatar Toolkit aims to be a complete replacement for Cats Blender Plugin and its unofficial variants, with a modern codebase designed specifically for current Blender versions and minimal dependencies on third-party plugins.
