[VRC] APERTURE SERIES C-Y4NT 01 - Portal 2 Themed CYANT01 Skin

[RECORDING INITIATED]

"Cave Johnson here.... Not sure who the hell brought in this one-of-a-kind C-Y4NT combat model into the premises, but I can't decide whether I want to congratulate you for managing to do so, or to viciously berate you for bringing something into Aperture Laboratories that could possibly kill us all. Congratulations you fucking single-celled dumbass, you've managed to impress me both ways. Better count your days, motherfucker. I'm not going to stop it from absolutely demolishing you."

[END OF RECORDING]

This specially-designed Cyant is themed after "Portal 2", one of my personal favorite games, both for the lore and the design. Instead of giving it that super clean look, I decided to make it look sorta worn -- to both have a similar design to some of the characters from Portal, namely GLaDOS, and the two Co-op characters Atlas and P-Body. White and dark grey battle-worn paint. Dark metallic parts with hexagon patterns further insinuating its' scifi/futuristic design. And to top it all off, 9 unique eye textures, representing some of the characters and Personality Cores found in the Portal series.

Features:

• Detailed 4K textures
• Custom materials, using the free Poiyomi 8.1 Shader
• Matcap texture masks
• 9 Custom Eye Emission Materials, Textures, and Emission Masks (Diaphragm, Eye, Pupil)
  • Just drag and drop the shaders into the material slots that match the name of the shader.
  • Only the Base emission shader has a visible pupil, the rest do not have the pupil visible due to making the eyes looking off with some of the designs of the eye emissions
  • Also uses Parallax to give the eyes a sense of depth
  • Uses mask textures that comes with Poiyomi 8.1 to add an animated effect to the eye emissions
• File size of Unity Package: ~300 MB

Future Plans:

• Compatibility with MEGA Chassis pack
• Support for future CYANT01 addons
• Custom-made Personality Core back attachment (model is already made and rigged. Just needs textures)
• Maybe some Aperture themed weapons (either guns or melee). Ideas?
