Nature Girl

A comprehensive `.zip` folder of an avatar-ready character body, including clothing and rigid accessory assets. Each asset includes its own Blender and Maya project file, as well as their respective PBR textures.

If you are opening these files in Blender, the armature bones may display in an unexpected orientation because the source model was originally exported from Maya. This different orientation doesn't affect the performance of the armature rig.
