How to use with Unity: (Compatible Unity version: 6.x or higher)

Dear my friends,After a period of experiencing the default physics simulation tools and various free tools, I have realized that the physics simulation needs improvement to provide a better experience for users. For this reason, I have decided to use Magica Cloth 2.If you do not use Magica Cloth 2, you can still utilize the character; however, you will need to set up the physics simulation for the cloth and hair using your own tools.Please note that to activate the physics simulation for the character, you will need Magica Cloth 2. Kindly follow the instructions below to proceed with the activation: Active Magica Cloth 2 on characters

Copy/Paste .unitypackage to your project then extract it.

• How to using Unity Face Capture on N5 Characters
• The characters in the package utilize the Dawnshader_SG shaders created with Shader Graph in Unity. The package is set up in HDRP mode, if you wish to use them in URP or Built-in, you can switch the SRPs without changing the shaders, although you may need to readjust lighting and environment settings. Additionally, you may need to fine-tune the skin materials or other materials for optimal results. You may also need to install Shader Graph in Unity to modify the shader and follow the steps below: Window -> Package Manager/ Shader Graph
• To avoid get error log "inputValue" so please following: Window -> Package Manager. At the top left corner of that window you should change: Packages: In Project >>> Packages: Unity Registry. Search for Input System and install. Restart project >> Done
• How to create more Prefabs by yourself
• You should open Overview scene to find out features of character package
• You can find Face Morphs/Blendshapes on Head Morphs in this package.

• All character body parts are modular so you can mix with my other N5 characters same gender but make sure you have scripts to mix characters, this package not included mixing character scripts.For best result with physic you should use Dynamic Bone for chain. This character has over 85 Blendshapes/Morphs for Unity Face Capture and some Basic Expressions, 02 hairstyle can use for both male and female characters.

Feel free to learn more about characters and make a questions on my Discord channel
