Rexouium (Latin: king caretaker), is an open species, and avatar base originally created by Rezillo Ryker in 2021.
Traits
The Rexouium species' defining traits are:
- Their height (up to 7 feet, or 213 centimeters tall)
- Strong legs
- Long, pointed ears
- Mane-like feathers along the top of the head and the back of the neck
- Tufts of feathers on the limb joints (elbows, wrists, knees)
Avatar Bases
Being an open species, multiple creators have released avatar bases featuring their signature look.
These bases include full facial visemes, have full support for full body tracking and VRChat's native eye tracking out-of-the-box, while some also have support for face tracking and MMD visemes (either built-in or as community add-ons). The bases also typically come with both Desktop and Android platform support, with different versions optimized to meet each platforms mandatory limits.
Rexouium Avatar by Rezillo Ryker
The original base made by the species' creator, Rezillo Ryker, is commonly considered to be the "default avatar"[Citation Needed] of furries on VRChat. Due to the Rexouium's similar canine facial structure and customizability, the avatar can be made to fit many of the most common animal species used by furries and their characters.
As a result, it is among the most widely-used[Citation Needed] models with a large number of compatible accessories made by the rest of the community. The model also contains a lot of customization blendshapes, and the newer versionincludes the ability to switch between digitigrade and plantigrade leg styles. With its versatility, avatar creators often use this base to create avatars with a lot of customization options and clothing, which lead to avatars based on this model becoming frequented by furries.
This base is primarily distributed via Gumroad[1]. The model also comes with a separate, albeit more pricy, license option for commercial use.
Rexouium Evolved and EvoRex HD, by Tosca
This base was created by Tosca, who included both digitigrade and plantigrade leg styles in their avatars as early as 2021[2], including the Rexouium Evolved. The digitigrade rigs were originally created using a method based on Unity bone constraints which was pioneered by DragonSkyRunner[3][4] and more recently Tosca has been using another method by Reign04.[5] Since VRChat currently does not support constraints for Android builds on the platform, the digitigrade rig version of the avatar is only usable on the PC platform. This base is also primarily distributed via Gumroad[6].
In 2023, Tosca also published the EvoRex HD base model, with the main new feature being split UVs, that allow for the use of larger resolution textures on certain parts of the avatar. The EvoRex HD is also sold on Gumroad[7], and was provided to the owners of the previous model version for free.
There are no specific restrictions on this base for commercial use, beyond the requirement that model files must not be redistributed by buyers.
Rezuium by Hirozu
The Rezuium, created by Hirozu, provides an alternative to the previous avatars with a different style and built-in face tracking. A separate clothing accessory package is also available. Rezuium is also available on Gumroad[8].
Commercial use (specifically re-sale of the model itself) is prohibited by the base's terms of service (ToS), but it can be used as part of other content as long as the fact that the model is not included with the purchase is clearly indicated, and that credit must be given to the model author.
Notably, the avatar was featured in HTC's U24 Pro commercial. The company initially failed to give credit to the base creator, breaching the base's ToS, but later included credit after republishing the commercial.
