The FX-Template

The FX template is named “_BW_FX”.

It contains the essential layers commonly used by avatars; you can duplicate and expand as you see fit.

Note

v1 and v2 have almost the same FX Controller; the only difference is a slightly different approach with the Presets Layer.

FX Animator

Caution

The animator is written in a full Write Defaults ON workflow.

• Base: Obligatory, keep empty at all times.
• Left/Right Hand: Layers for face expressions made with your hands.
• Tops/Pants/Shoes: INT switches for exclusive toggles.
• Presets: Drives multiple parameter drivers at once for preset sets of toggles.
• Toggles and Sliders: A premade DirectBlendTree ready to use.
