Hey VIPs!
A little late due to some dev work, but she's finally ready, the first of the new range of BB models, RIKA
RIKA is a different type of model in many ways beyond the visuals. Let me explain:
BB Interactive has pivoted towards more visually advanced models, building them towards newer real time rendering technologies, like UE5 and Unity HDRP, with compatibility for things like ray tracing and interactive high fidelity environments both in VR and using newer mocap solutions like Rokoko, Perception and Xsens
That does mean that RIKA comes equipped with a full set of shape keys for compatibility with Livelink face and Apple face tracking
The idea was to improve on what already exists, like usability in VRChat for example, without taking anything away from the existing features present on BBI models or making them unaffordable for the market
RIKA represents the coming together of all of the research and work over the past three months, and she isn't perfect by any means, but she's the first step into a new market
So the first real version available on stores will be free to all patrons, not just VIPs, I'll make a post with the discount code when that day comes <3
Let me know what you think. Since RIKA is a prototype she won't be winning any optimisation awards, but she is totally exclusive to you and will not be available on stores, not even as a base model in future
As always, thank you for your support, always appreciate your patronage and I hope the rewards live up to that
