Real Sweat System
Real Sweat System adds real-time sweat effects to PC VRChat avatars. Set Sweat % directly from the radial menu, or use Auto Mode to build sweat from body movement and let it dry gradually after movement stops.
This documentation covers Real Sweat System v2.0.0. It is a major update with a new skin sweat look, a new Setup window, and new body steam. To update a 1.x installation, follow Updating from 1.x.
What it can display
- Sweat and droplets on the skin, in two styles: Anime and Realistic (default)
- Running droplets and trails that follow real-world gravity and run almost straight down
- Optional Droplet Depth: droplets close to the camera really rise from the skin
- Falling sweat drops and a short splash
- Floor stains that darken the floor
- Soft body steam that rises slowly from the area around each spot
- Breath driven by Visemes or VRCFT
- Optional 3D particles for falling drops, body steam, and breath
- Sweat on multiple Body material Elements or additional skinned meshes (experimental)
Skin sweat is included in Sweat Base Module. Falling Drops, Floor Stains, Breath, and Body Steam are included in Sweat Effects Module. Full Pack (Base + Effects) includes both modules as the complete configuration.
