Limit's Customisable Bangles

Customisable bangles for social VR avatars.

These bangles I made are designed to be a 'one size fits all' solution. By default, they are a generic cylinder shape, but by using blendshapes/shapekeys, and armatures in the bangles, you can shape them to fit on any character and any limb, well in theory anyways.

My second ever model made from scratch in blender. Mesh has 1-3 armatures (dependant on variant) and weight painting. The texture is a simple scratched brass texture I made in Substance Painter.

Included in the package are the .fbx files for the single and three armature variants of the bangle, pbr textures, the Unity Package, and .SPP file.

The Unity scene contains two variants of the Bangles; one with a single armature, and one with three armatures to allow for more control over the shape. In addition the Unity package contains the Filamented shader by silent (under the Apache licence) based on Google Filament.

Preview images shown are of the bangles on my personal social VR avatar, which is a Canis Woof (by Rezillo Ryker) that I heavily modified in blender.

About the blendshapes

There are 5 (only 4 are currently usable):

• Front Bigger: makes the front side of the bangle larger in diametre.
• BackBigger: makes the back side of the bangle larger in diametre.
• Skew Z: shifts the front side of the bangle along its local Z axis.
• Skew Y: shifts the front side of the bangle along its local Y axis.

The 'Unravel' blendshape currently does nothing, as I have not yet learned the best way to make this blendshape. This blendshape, once made, will not affect the fit of the bangle as it is only for equip/unequip animations.
