VRChat Archery System | Avatar Add-on

Team Narehates Inc. released it's very first weapon product, a Bow with arrows, and a quiver.
If you ever wanted a properly accurate Bow and Arrow Archery System then seek no more, you're at the right place!

Features :

• A whole Archery package containing a working bow, a quiver, and of course, arrows.
• Right and left handed versions.
• Toggles for each individual pieces (Having the quiver on is not required to grab arrows).
• A more or less realistic look on archery, the bow need to be grabbed from your back, the arrows grabbed from the quiver, and manually loaded on the bow.
• A mostly automatic setup thanks to VRCFury (Only some minor placement are nessesary).
• Arrows that stick to surfaces! (People are not surfaces).
• Alternate fancy "Light arrows" with cool particle effects.
• Shading with Poiyomi.

Notes:

• This doesn't work on quest.
• Adding this to your avatar will put the performance ranking to "VeryPoor", it should, nonetheless, not cause any major lag issues. (Unless you stick too many arrows everywhere)
• This will not be properly usable on desktop mode.

How To Use :

The bow works more or less like a real one, hence, in order to shoot an arrow you need to follow those steps :

1. Grab the Bow in your back with the fist gesture (Which hand depends if you're using the right or left hand version).
2. Grab an arrow from your quiver (I made it so you don't need the quiver active to grab an arrows in case you like it that way).
3. Load the arrow by grabbing the string of the bow, in the middle.
4. Shoot the arrow!

Requirement :

• VRCFury, I won't provide support for anyone attempting to install the Archery System without it. LINK HERE
• Poiyomi shader, used for the material setup. LINK HERE

Installation :

1. Install the two requirements above.
2. Drag and drop the Archery Prefab, right or left, on your avatar root in the Hierarchy (Where your avatar descriptor is).
   • If you have to rescale anything, only rescale the root object "Archery Prefab", otherwise the Arrow size will be inconsistent between objects.
3. Inside the Archery Prefab you'll find 6 objects, 4 of those need to be manually moved to fit your avatar.
   • "Arrow Position Hand" should be placed on your hand, as if your character was grabbing an arrow.
   • "Bow Position Back" should be placed in your back, it's the rest position of the bow, where you gonna grab it from.
   • "Bow Position Hand" should be as if you were grabbing the bow, ready the load an arrow.
   • "Quiver" should be somewhere on your Hips, where you think it make the most sense.
4. It's ready to upload.
