A wristwatch that looks like a proto! Not good for telling time, but does have a little face.

This little guy is intended to be able to sit on the wrist of a character by means of simply parenting it to the lower arm. The wristband is rigged with an armature so it can posed to wrap around the wrist. This is easily done in blender, but in unity can take extra work, as any custom scaling to the bones to extend or shorten the wrist strap doesn't seem to keep when rotating in unity, so a bit more manual labor would be needed if you scale it. To get around this, I also include a cylinder that is UV mapped to fit with the texture that can be scaled to fit a wrist.

The texture for the screen is a small strip of 8 pixel art faces or symbols. Texture is black and white so it is easily hue shifted.

~~If you want to support me, I have a version that comes with an animation controller to shift the faces according to hand gestures in vrchat for a $1~~. Copying the animation layer over to the FX layer of the avatar and making sure the corresponding parameters exist should allow the faces to change whenever both hands make a gesture. Feel free to edit the transitions so it only needs one hand to gesture or to add new combos. Shifting the faces is done with materials, so faces can be given their own individual hue.

~~You do not need the $1 version to change the faces. All the faces are in the texture strip, so you can create the animations yourself if you'd like.~~

Change log --------------------------------

October 29, 2023: Added an updated protofaces strip to include muted and unmuted icons. The original one is still the one in the package, as would have to update animations to be by 1/10 instead of 1/8
January 11, 2025: Removed the cost for $1 version, as transaction fees essentially ate the whole payment
