How to use it?
Avatar Pen have a few customizations and features which will make your life better in case if there is no pen under your hand!
To start drawing you will need to go to your Pen Menu and Toggle it on, then you will need to make a Point Gesture with your Right Hand and start drawing👉👉
You will be able to control it's Width and Color in case if you don't them. Simply go to Hue or Width Radial menu and change it's values to something you like, and yes Hue does work on Quest!
Pause toggle will not allow you to draw anymore until you will untoggle it. Useful if you want to keep your drawing around but not to use the Pen at the moment.
Erase toggle, as it says, will erase all you have drawn and you can start drawing again.
Prerequisites:
Avatar Pen Package uses VRCFury made by @SenkyDragon on Twitter for easy quick one-click setup with Poiyomi Toon Shader 8.0.420*.
If you already use VRCFury there is an additional package for you to install into your project to avoid any errors with already existing files.
It is not necessary to install Poiyomi Toon Shader 8.0.420 into your project since the shader already have been compiled. If you want to make any changes though, you will need to download it.
The Pen uses One Trail Renderer and One Material. Due to Trail Renderer avatar performance rank will be lowered to Poor on Quest.
