Natural Twists - Hairstyle for VRChat -- Novabeast Update!

Natural Twists for VRChat avatars! This is a protective, two-strand twist hairdo that is versatile, stylish, and simple to put in and take out. This can be an easy haircare ritual and/or a daily style for any coily, curly, kinky, or wavy texture.

I based this asset on the way I personally style/protect my hair -- always loved the look of dreadlocks or hanging braids, but this two-stand twist style is the perfect compromise to fit the dreads look into my schedule.

There are four six .fbx files included, between 12,704 - 15,572 tris. Bones are either lower at 27-30, or higher at 190-202.

* "_Maruchi" indicates a version designed with the ears of the Maruchi base in mind. (also compatible with Maruchi-based avatars such as Bennett or Seth). The hair "bases" used in all .fbxs are designed for the Maruchi head shape.

All prior purchasers of this asset now have free access to the Novabeast-fitted prefabs as well.

**Note, the HQ bones .prefab may be too many bones for VRC unless the avatar has very minimal bones! Great for .VRM conversions or photoshoots, but for wandering around and hanging out, I recommend the Lite prefab for VRC!

1.3 UPDATE 1/27/2024: Armature fixes on the non-VRCfury prefabs.

• (5) Material presets utilizing Poiyomi 9.0 or higher.
• (7) Base textures, (3) Metallic/Smoothness packed maps, (6) multipurpose grayscale masks, (5) normal maps
• UV layout
• .blend and .spp files included
• Physbone colliders for the Head, Chest, and both Ears of the Maruchi.
  

There are 3 blendshapes that slope and nuance the front of the hairstyle to frame your avatar's face differently.

Thank you for all of your support on the Curly Afro w/ Pick, continued POC hair assets and fashion for VRC are planned in the future!
