[Model Release] (Aerith Gainsborough Cosplayer) (Patreon)

This model was the winner for my first poll for my next character model in April.

This model concept comes from Aerith Cosplaying as the Persona 5 Character Haru Okumura.

-To view the UI menu when appending the model in other projects, you need to
click on the armature for it to show up on the right side tool bar.

-The Rig tools add-on is required to have access to the "head/neck follow lock" and
"IK-FK" snapping settings for limbs in the active workspace and tool menu.

(If you have the full version of Auto-rig pro don't install this, this is only     
required for animators that don't own the full version)

-Install rig-tools like any add-on (preferences>Add-ons>Install>select zip
(press the check box to activate.)
