Avatar Collection
A collection of custom VRChat avatars designed and developed for the agog staff, blending nature-inspired aesthetics with expressive virtual identity.
Each avatar was individually crafted to reflect the personality of its owner while sharing a cohesive visual language rooted in organic forms, plants, fungi, water, and wildlife. From concept art and 3D modeling to texturing, rigging, animation, and final VRChat implementation, every character was built from the ground up.
One of the project’s signature features is the agog flower—a unique animated flower integrated into every avatar’s viseme system. Instead of relying solely on traditional mouth shapes, the flower blooms, opens, and reacts in sync with speech, creating a playful and distinctive way for team members to communicate in virtual spaces.
