Team Narehates Inc. released it's very first weapon product, an elemental Archery System that comes with a fantasy magic bow AND and realistic recurve bow that's QUEST compatible!
If you ever wanted a properly accurate Bow and Arrow Archery System then seek no more, you're at the right place!

Features :

A whole Archery package containing a working bow, a quiver, and of course, arrows.

Two different versions :

A fantasy Magic Bow, with 7 different elemental arrows (Fire, Ice, Lightning, Light, Dark, Wind and Rock) to choose from by picking magic gems from a pouch.
A realistic looking recurve bow, with a different quiver and different arrows, completely QUEST COMPATIBLE.

Right and left handed versions for both variants!
Toggles for each individual pieces (Having the quiver on is not required to grab arrows).
A more or less realistic look on archery, the bow need to be grabbed from your back, the arrows grabbed from the quiver, and manually loaded on the bow.
A mostly automatic setup thanks to VRCFury (Only some minor placement are nessesary).
Arrows that stick to surfaces! (People are not surfaces).
Shading with Poiyomi.

Notes:

Only the recurve bow is quest compatible.

Adding the fantasy magic bow to your avatar will put the performance ranking to "VeryPoor", it should, nonetheless, not cause any major lag issues. (Unless you stick too many arrows everywhere)

This will not be properly usable on desktop mode.

How To Use :

The bow works more or less like a real one, hence, in order to shoot an arrow you need to follow those steps :

Grab the Bow in your back with the fist gesture (Which hand depends if you're using the right or left hand version).

Grab an arrow from your quiver (I made it so you don't need the quiver active to grab an arrows in case you like it that way).

Load the arrow by grabbing the string of the bow, in the middle.

Shoot the arrow!


For the Magic Bow only :
To imbue your bow with an element :


Click on the Pouch by doing a Finger Point Gesture on it.
With the Menu now open, click on one of the elemental gems by doing a Finger Point Gesture on it.
Close the pouch by doing a Finger Point Gesture on it.
Grab the gem by doing a Victory Gesture on the pouch.
Then put the gem in the star part of the bow.
If you want to remove elemental effects from the bow simply do a fist gesture on the star part of the bow.



Requirements:

VRCFury, I won't provide support for anyone attempting to install the Archery System without it. LINK HERE
Poiyomi shader, used for the material setup. LINK HERE
UPDATED VRC SDK, this uses VRC Constaints, which are very recents


Installation :

Drag and drop the prefab you want UNDER your avatar root (The object which have the VRC Avatar Descriptor)

DO NOT UNPACK THE PREFAB

Resize the main object (the prefab object), AND ONLY THAT OBJECT, to the desired bow/quiver/arrow size

Next, you will need to move some objects in order to make the Archery System fits you avatar, if your avatar is in a A-pose you also may have to rotate some objects!


"Arrow Position Hand" should be placed on your hand, as if your character was grabbing an arrow.
"Bow Position Back" should be placed in your back, it's the rest position of the bow, where you gonna grab it from.
"Bow Position Hand" should be as if you were grabbing the bow, ready the load an arrow.
"Quiver" should be somewhere on your Hips, where you think it make the most sense.

Following instuction are only for the Elemental Bow (Not the recurve bow) :

"Pouch" and "PouchMenu" should be moved together, and somewhere on your hips, if you need to move just the menu to somewhere you want, make sure it's origin is at least inside the pouch.
"FingerGem" should be placed between your index and middle fingers, as if you were grabbing the gem with those two fingers.

You're done!
