What's up homies?! I've been BUSY!

Recently, I've updated my follower system to a WHOLE new version, and is now a separate product from the old download. I've also released 2 new pets!

MSage's Follower Pet System v3.0

What's new with the Follower system?

Pets now have their own unique grab animations when grabbed.
Pets are now grabbable.
Color wheel has been added to the system to allow for changing the base black and white colors on the fly!
Added sound slots for Action, Station, Run, and Grabbable Sound effects
Added the ability to change the Y Location of mountable pets while the pet is stationed under the player
Some pets can now become ridged while stationed to your hand.
Added a debugging text display, that will say "Hello" when the pet spawns in, will say "Searching" while looking for a player to track, and will say "Tracking" once it's found a player's chest bone.
Updated Basic Pet Shader to allow for emissions to be used with custom skins
Updated Basic Pet Shader to have looping sketch like noise on it's outline, making the pets look more drawn then 3D at some angles.

How to install this system?:

If you'd like to use the Full follower system, like letting the pet stay in place, interact with players petting it, or follow other players, you must merge the Pet.FX controller with your current FX layer. add "Pet.Int" & "Pet.Y" to your parameters list, You have the option to add "Pet.Color1" & "Pet.Color2" as Floats to your avatar in order to change the black and white colors in game, but this is optional. Lastly, add the Pet Menu to your normal avatar 3.0 menu. (You only have to do this once, you will then be able to replace your pet with ANY other follower pet of mine that uses this system)
In order to use "Pet Stationed", you will need to pay attention to the sale page of the pet you've bought. On the page, you will see "Recommended Station Point". Please be sure to set the Source within the Parent constraint of "Avatar Tracking Point" to the bone that is recommended!
Use VRLab's Avatar Manager 3 prefab in order to quickly install the FX layer: https://github.com/VRLabs/Avatars-3.0-Manager
