VR Avatar Castle Backpack

2022

Inspired by Undercover's SS06 Evil Clown runway collection, I created this togglable accessory for my VRChat avatar to adjust for its larger lowerbody and smaller upper body proportions. I build the shape off reference images, added physics to the zippers, and weight painted the straps to move with my avatar's shoulders.

  1. Blender viewport: an untextured magenta anthro character seen from behind, wearing a black backpack modelled as a cluster of pointed castle towers. A reference photo of the real spiked backpack is pinned on a plane behind.

  2. Blender viewport from the side: the same magenta character in profile, the black castle-tower backpack sitting high between the shoulders on two straps, with reference images either side.
