(Species, technical artist, and unity jargon)
Special thanks to the many wonderful beta testers putting up with us and helping iron out bugs and suggest features! Will update this with names later.
The Soundbyte! A Non-Organic creature built off the bases of music and more. A species built by Zedex and Bleodafi. The model was created by Beastpunks. The avatar is a huge collaborative effort to ensure the best functionality it can have! And hey, they even got built in Audiolink!!
WHAT IS A SOUNDBYTE?
A soundbyte is a synthetic being defined almost purely from musical wavelengths itself! Each one focus's on its own unique area of auditory feedback. This can include anything from genres of music, particular songs, albums, instruments, or even the very definitions of musical composition itself (e.g. Notes, tones, Half note, etc) Which can include various language and cultural descriptions even.

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN VERSIONS?

-Geared towards public space friendliness
-Most optimal IK tracking with all VR modes
-Highest color customization options in game
-Ability to have a medium perf rank with most of its features still intact
-Slimmer default body type that is best for game worlds and generally doesn't cause view obstruction
Soundbyte- the BigByte:
-Less overall optimization and more questionable size capabilities generally not suitable to bigger public environments
-Modified armature and meshing sporting a wider overall frame and greater size support
-Much bigger body sliders all around
-additional sliders/anim focused around size and growth
-Bigger default body type
-Manual toggles for various dynamic bone collision sizes
-Most "dynamic/realistic" jiggle physics
