Logs the entirety of any and all avatars seen in the wild be it public or private and logs them! This allows any avatar seen to have its information viewed and its VRCA found and downloaded, hotswapped or extracted via the GUI!

A.R.E.S

ARES is an avatar recovery tool! It is only for educational uses! We do not condone theft of avatars, the tool soley exists to recover avatars from within VRChat back onto new accounts and into their unity packages keeping as much of the avatar in-tact as possible!

Thx to Yui, they have chosen not to be marked as a developer on the project when they might as well be, they taught me everything I know about photon and it is an important part of the project as a whole. If you see him around thank him for me! The same thanks go out to Blaze for showing me a better/more stable way to create buttons ingame!

Thx to Blaze for helping me fix a few bugs within the wear avatar by ID button added in V10!

Thx to nesrak1 for the original "AssetTools.NET.dll" file that was edited by FACS01 and then packed into our HOTSWAP allowing for VRCA files to be compressed and decompressed!

Thx to Requi for ReMod.Core, we use this as our button API within ARES!

Thx to Kirai for the code behind our force clone patch!

Thx to FACS01 for the bledshape and animation repairs only compatable with VRCA files extracted with ARES & scanning of the Unity Packages!

Thx to FatihBAKIR for the ability to compress unity files

Thx to Avatarchik for the ability to extract unity files

Thx to cassell1337 for assisted development of the GUI and old API. No longer developing as of V10.
