Important: This script has many caveats and is designed to be used in a specific way. Please read the entire product page, especially the "Things to be aware of" section below BEFORE purchasing.

Customize the color of your afterimages freely with a gradient!

Add afterimages to any avatar in just a few clicks!

Adjust your afterimage dampening strength for longer trails!

See the usage guide below for more information!

Dependencies:

This product requires that you are on a newer version of the VRC Unity SDK. Specifically, 3.7.0 or greater!

Things to be aware of:

These are some things you should be aware of before purchasing:

1. The script creates clones of your avatar. This means that your polygon count will be your avatars current polygon count times the number of afterimage clones. Ideally, the number of materials and skinned meshes should only increase by one per clone as the script handles merging skinned meshes. But for some avatars you may have to disable this functionality. Using this tool in addition to optimization tools like D4rks avatar optimizer is highly recommended! It is not recommended that you use full avatars with this system as your primary avatar unless you have a very optimized base model to start.
2. The script does not repath animations. This means if your avatar has clothing swaps and you want the clones clothing to swap as well, you will need to amend your avatars animations to also animate the clones clothing swaps.
3. The script does not officially support VRCFury or Modular Avatar. These systems work on upload, while this tool does not, and as such it cant account for changes done at upload time by Fury or MA. You may be able to build an editor test copy of your avatar to avoid this restriction however.
4. The afterimages are FPS sensitive. Damping constraints, which this system uses, are FPS dependent. This means that the higher the FPS of someone viewing your avatar, the closer the afterimages will look.
5. I cannot test this system with every possible avatar in existence. If you run into any issues using the system (errors, failures, clones exploding, pizza you ordered has the wrong toppings, literally anything out of the ordinary) PLEASE make a ticket in my discord and report it. Its as simple as sending your license key, and a screenshot of the error. I may ask for extra details from there. I will do my best to fix any issues, or tell you how to avoid experiencing that error for intended errors. You can see any currently known issues at: https://docs.zekk.dev/AfterimagesInstallScript
