Starlit Wings — Transforming Feather & Bat Wings for VRChat

▶ VRChat avatar effect · PC only · needs Modular Avatar (free, from VCC) · drag-and-drop prefab

Not made for one avatar: Modular Avatar hooks it to your avatar's own bones at upload, so it works on humanoid avatars in general. Checked in Unity on the VRChat SDK sample avatar.

Two wings in one. Benevolent Night is a pair of feathered wings in silver starlight; Crimson Night is a bat-wing membrane of red nebula and stars.

Transform, and the feathers break up into silver sparks, bones of light are left, and the crimson membrane spreads out from your shoulders (2.4 s). It goes back the same way.

Both forms can fold down your back and flap, and both glow. The feathers shed loose feathers and star dust; the membrane sheds red embers.

MENU (Starlit Wings)

• Wings: on / off. Light fills them from the root to the tips in 1 s; off, they fade out in 0.6 s (remembered)
• Transform: feathers ↔ crimson membrane in 2.4 s, both ways (remembered)
• Fold: the wings fold down along your back in 0.8 s, in both forms; off spreads them again (remembered)
• Flap: one beat every 1 s, the tips a little behind the roots. Off, they sway slowly
• Falling feathers: 3 loose feathers and 10 star dust a second drift off the spread wings and stay in the air where you were; as the membrane, 8 red embers a second instead (remembered)
• Color: Moon (silver-blue), Amethyst (violet) or Ember (warm gold) for the feathers; the membrane stays crimson (remembered)
• Glow: a radial, 0–100% brightness (remembered)
• Size: a radial, 0.6× to 1.4× (remembered)

SIZE

• Feathers: 2.21 m tip to tip, 1.14 m top to bottom spread (at 1.0×); folded 1.21 m down your back
• Membrane: 2.14 m tip to tip, 1.16 m top to bottom spread (at 1.0×); folded 1.37 m down your back

WHAT YOU GET

• 1 prefab, drag it onto your avatar (Modular Avatar puts the menu, parameters and animator in at upload, and keeps the wings on your chest bone)
• 2 shaders, 4 materials, menu, animator (no textures)
• README in English and Japanese

PERFORMANCE

• 5,620 tris (both forms in one mesh) · 1 mesh renderer · 4 materials · no textures · no lights
• 3 particle systems, at most 70 particles in all
• no PhysBones · no contacts · no parameter drivers · 29 synced bits

GOOD TO KNOW

• Needs Modular Avatar (free, from the VRChat Creator Companion).
• Placed on the back of the VRChat SDK's sample avatar. On yours, move the Wings object once if the roots sit inside your body or away from your back.
• The wings move in the shader (no bones), so they follow your chest but don't bend against walls.
• People who block custom shaders in their Safety settings won't see the wings.
