Introduction

The PsiCorp Bear avatar is a full mesh avatar designed to reflect the unique body type of anthro bears. As such, it is built to be a large frame with large amounts of both muscle mass and body fat, based on many artworks of bear characters. It uses a full fitted mesh rig to allow full shape customization, allowing easy resizing of almost any body part, as well as adjusting the amount of body fat and other properties easily. Furthermore a larger version of both male and female avatars is included, standing at 150% the size of the default model. Additionally, since the avatar implements its own body type, a series of clothing items have been included, featuring both alternate textures as well as various stages of undress that you may switch between. To further improve on the appearance, dynamic materials are heavily utilized, giving the body more definition.

Please note that to fully enjoy this avatar, you must have a viewer supporting both rigged mesh as well as materials, and you must have your settings configured accordingly.
