π ANARU - THE OCTOPUS π [ PC / QUEST / VRCFT / OPTI / GOGO / LAIR & TENT ] π
ββ ββ πβ β ββ


art by Jowiszca
An octopus merman with a penchant for shiny and valuable things.
He traveled ashore and with his human disguise and became a knight in the Chrysos Navy,
in which he would gather advanced intel on pirate ship locations to sink them himself.
He always thought that the greatest treasures were gold and jewels,
Until he met a particularly colorful mandarin goby.

Anaru is a pacific islander, and his name is largely used in the Maori language. It means 'masculine'. It's derived from old greek origins, and is a variant transcription of the name 'Andrew'.

β°ββ€ I'll be honest, like most creators, all my meshes I've bought turn into a big ole pile in my downloads folder, and I might forget to mention things, like "This asset is displayed on xyz head" or something similar. If you want a super deep dive into the meshes I typically use for non-avatar projects like:
β¦ Renders
β¦ Showcase models
β¦ Personals
β¦ Non commercial projects
β¦ Tiktok Characters
... Then here's a link to basically a peek into my library of bought stuff.

Before buying something, always know what exactly you're getting-- and, of course, if you know how to implement it. We can help, but we can't teach you from scratch/no knowledge.
We have a great β₯π-help channel in our discord, but always pop over to the Guides page for guides, as well as read the description thoroughly.
Assets range in difficulty: Some are as easy as drag and drop, but others require work in blender.
Always make sure you read the product page too, if it's something more complicated, there's often a video!
You got this! Pop over to our help channels if you need a hand.

ASSET QUEST COMPATIBILITY
Quest compatibility is a complicated question and depends entirely on the project youβre using the asset for. Quest avatars have strict performance limitations, so whether something works or not varies case-by-case.
If youβre not familiar enough with Quest projects to judge based on the assetβs statistics and type, itβs best to either ask in the server or stick to items that explicitly say βQuest compatible.β
- β¦ Many assets can be made Quest compatible to some degree, but some features are simply not supported. For example, items that require more than 64 moving bones or materials that rely on animated GIFs will not work on Quest. Quest platform can also not support light sources, audios, or specialty shaders.
- β¦ Please understand your project and the asset thoroughly before making a purchase on a product which may not fit within your application.
- β¦ You can review some of the resources below to learn more.
