Have you ever wanted to show your physical ability and/or muscle while wielding the Vulper avatar? Now, this texture pack is tailor-made especially for you.

These textures work with the Vulper Fire and Vulper Ice by Reval, Meaty and Royalty.

This pack comes with two sets of muscle textures: the ripped and smoother version!

Both versions include:

• 4K Muscle normal map for the avatar
• 4K Muscular ambient occlusion map for the avatar
• 4K Muscle cavity map for additional shadings in software like Substance Painter
• 4K Muscle shading map and mask for enhancing cavity shadings in 2D editing software (supports layer multiplying, e.g., Photoshop, Krita) or Substance Painter.
• 4K Muscle thickness map for enhancing the muscle shadings or adding beautiful subsurface scattering effects.

FAQ:

How to apply AO and normal maps with Poiyomi?

You can use Poiyomi 8.1 shader or newer:

• Open the received files.
• Drag and drop the AO and normal map textures into their body material slots.
• For more realistic and strong shadows, have "Realistic" (as in the preview) or "Wrapped" Lighting Type selected under "Shading".
• With Toon lighting, to make the normals show, you should enable Rim Lighting and adjust the settings.

You should consider adding shading to the color map for an extra oomph for the muscles.

The normal map is in OpenGL format.

Optional: How to use the shading map?

The shading map changes the tones of the muscle cavities to darker colors and accentuates them.

Adding shading to an existing color texture:

1. In 2D Programs:

• Open your Body texture.
• Create an additional layer above the texture.
• Place the shading on that layer and change the layer type to Multiply.
• Duplicate the layer to intensify the effect as needed.
• Save as .png or another flat image format for Unity texture use.

2. In Substance Painter:

• Create a fill layer at the top of the Body Texture Set.
• Import the body shading map texture.
• Set the body shading as the base color for the fill layer.
• Change layer type to Multiply and duplicate the layer to intensify the effect as needed.

3. In Unity (for Poyiomi shader):

• See the instruction image in the pics/ in the delivered .zip file.
• Enable Color & Normals > Details
• Drag & Drop Shading map into Detail Texture slot.
• Set Detail Texture Global Mask to Multiply.
• Adjust Detail Texture Tint (white or some light tint), Detail Tex Intensity and Detail Brightness to your liking.

This is a digital product, so there will be no refunds once purchased.
