⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Try out the asset for free on my public avatar found in my world here

(the quest version includes the Lion Folding blade, with a couple features removed, like blood, fire effect and sounds)

THIS ASSET INCLUDES 2 PREFABS
- Lion Folding Blade
- Rose Folding Blade
(both can be used on the same avatar, or installed individiually (each cost 15 parameters))

The folding blade is a dynamic gravity blade that folds in and out for a quick combat stance.

The handle opens and closes to release the blade, a quick flourishtriggered entirely by wrist movement will allow the blade to fold out and in.

• Flick wrist upwards to have the blade point upwards.
• Flick wrist downwards to have the blade point downwards.
• Upwards arm movement to toss it.
• All these can also be triggered with menu buttons for ease of use.

Extremely dynamic, with only few gestures used to control it, and actual hand movement doing most of the work.

The prefab comes with two individual and unique blades.
One with a lion head, and one with a rose pedal (both heads can be toggled off for a more dagger-like look).

Each blade has an elemental ability that can be fired on the blade. The lion blade uses fire to heat up the blade to high temperatures.

The rose pedal blade uses acid for a lethal sting.

A dynamic blood system allows you to stab other people, and blood will automatically spray and drip. (can be toggled off as well)

No gestures required, and the effects follow the depth of the stab as well as making sounds.

Blades will contact with other peoples blades for a parry effect and sound.

6 total textures included, Substance painter file also given on purchase.

DEPENDENCIES:

You must use one of the newer VRC SDK's which can only be downloaded through VCC, otherwise you are more than likely to encounter issues.

(recommended 8 or newer)

(can be installed through VCC directly)

OPTIONAL:

Fury can be used as an alternative install method

Two sets of menus, one for each blade. Includes many settings to customize your experience, most features can be toggled on or off. And an entire menu for desktop usage is included, so the whole asset can be used without the need for VR

• Use it for a commercial avatar IF you set it up and export without the assets files (you have to delete the folder), then direct your customers to the exact page to buy it. You are under no circumstances allowed to include the files for the asset in your own export. Your store page must be pretty clear about that to avoid confusion as well.
