v1.8.0-rc.1

Version 1.8.0-rc.1

Installer unitypackage for this version is here.

This is SNAPSHOT, not a stable release. make sure this may have many bugs.

Added

• Automatically Merge Blendshape #1300
  • This is new automatic optimization in Trace and Optimize
  • This is a part of "Optimize BlendShape" optimization.
  • AAO 1.8.0 introduced BlendShape support for Merge Skinned Mesh, but new default mode "Rename to avoid conflicts" would increase number of BlendShape.
  • This feature is added to relax this problem by automatically merging multiple BlendShapes of one Mesh.
  • With this feature, you can use rename mode without performance loss.
• Fix mode for PhysBone Limits in Merge PhysBone #665
  • In addition to existing Copy and Override, we added Fix mode.
  • This mode will try to correct roll axis by rotating bone.
  • This feature allows you to configure the mode for PhysBone Limits in Merge PhysBone.
  • This is useful if all configuration is same but roll axis is different.
• Automatically merging meshes which have BlendShapes #1308
  • In previous version of Avatar Optimizer, meshes which have BlendShapes are not automatically merged.
  • This was because BlendShape manipulation load is proportional to the number of vertices in Unity 2019.
  • However, in Unity 2020 and later, BlendShape manipulation load is mostly proportional to the number of moving vertices.
  • This means that increasing the number of vertices in a mesh which has BlendShapes does not increase the load of BlendShape manipulation much.
  • Therefore, we decided to automatically merge such meshes.
• Improved OSC Gimmick Support #1306
  • We added two information for OSC Gimmick in Asset Description.
  • By defining parameters read / written by OSC Gimmick, your OSC Gimmick no longer breaks.

Fixed

• Fix non-VRChat project support #1310
• 'shader' doesn't have a float or range property 'prop' error #1312
• Integer and Int confusion #1313
• NativeArray leak #1314
• Error if all components are on inactive GameObject#1318

v1.8.0-beta.11

Version 1.8.0-beta.11

Installer unitypackage for this version is here.

This is SNAPSHOT, not a stable release. make sure this may have many bugs.

Changed

• Show version name on NDMF Console #1309

Fixed

• NRE if specified expression parameters is None #1303
  • This error only happens if you don't use Modular Avatar since Modular Avatar will assign parameters asset.
• "asset is not temporary asset" error if no Modular Avatar is used #1304
• Merge Skinned Mesh with Basic Mesh is not working #1307
• Validation system in Avatar Optimizer is not working #1307

v1.8.0-beta.10

Version 1.8.0-beta.10

Installer unitypackage for this version is here.

This is SNAPSHOT, not a stable release. make sure this may have many bugs.

Added

• Right-click menu option to create a new GameObject with a specified component #1290
• BlendShape support for Merge Skinned Mesh #1286 #1299
  • You now can successfully merge Meshes with BlendShape with Merge Skinned Mesh.
  • Actually, previous version does not have proper consideration for BlendShape.
  • This version introduces options to select BlendShape behavior in Merge Skinned Mesh.

Changed

• More Preference Improvement #1288

Removed

• Merging BlendShape from Rename BlendShape component #1296
  • We will add a new component for merging BlendShapes in the future.

Fixed

• PrefabSafeUniqueCollection does not consider unity fake null #1294
• BlendShape with same name is impclitly merged in Merge Skinned Mesh #1286
  • Now you can rename BlendShape to avoid conflicts.

v1.8.0-beta.9

Version 1.8.0-beta.9

Installer unitypackage for this version is here.

This is SNAPSHOT, not a stable release. make sure this may have many bugs.

Fixed

• Error with material property animation #1285
• InvalidOperationException in PrefabSafeUniqueCollection #1287

v1.8.0-beta.8

Version 1.8.0-beta.8

Installer unitypackage for this version is here.

This is SNAPSHOT, not a stable release. make sure this may have many bugs.

Fixed

• Animation for target renderer of Merge Skinned Mesh might be overridden by animation for source renderer #1276
• Merge islands incorrectly when one island covers the other #1278
• NRE when no AAO component attached #1281

v1.8.0-beta.7

Version 1.8.0-beta.7

Installer unitypackage for this version is here.

This is SNAPSHOT, not a stable release. make sure this may have many bugs.

Added

• Invert option for Remove Mesh in Box #1257
  • You now can remove polygons outside of the box instead of inside the box.
  • Along with this new feature, we renamed Remove Mesh in Box to Remove Mesh By Box to make it more clear.
    • This doesn't change the class name of the component since it's already a part of the public API.
• Remove Mesh By UV Tile, a new way to remove polygons #1263
  • You now easily remove some polygons of models configured for UV Tile Discard.
  • This component removes polygons like UV Tile Discard with Vertex Discard Mode.
• Texture Optimizer support for tiling UV #1268
• API for AtlasTexture Compability #1269
• Automatically remove unnecessary material properties based on shader #1041
  • This feature is added to Remove Unused Objects in Trace and Optimize.
  • When you changed shader for an material, properties for previously used shaders might be remain
  • This may increase your avatar size by unexpectedly including unused textures
• Support for Shaders that depends on vertex index #1275
  • Avatar Optimizer will not automatically merge meshes that are using vertex index
  • since merging them may change vertex order, which changes vertex index

Changed

• Transform gizmo are now hidden while you're editing box of Remove Mesh in Box #1259
  • This prevents mistakenly moving the Skinned Mesh Renderer while editing the box.
• Make MergePhysBone implement INetworkID #1260
  • This allow you to configure networkid for merged PhysBone component
• Changed locale code for simplified chinese from zh-cn to zh-hans #1264
  • This would improve compatibility with other NDMF tools.
  • Many NDMF tools uses zh-hans so previously you may see both 中文 (中国) and 中文 (简体).
  • I think zh-hans is more accurate expression so I changed so.

Fixed

• InvalidOperationException with removing all polygon on one material slot #1255
• Remove Mesh in Box does not work for meshes without Bones #1256
• NullReferenceException in GetBlendShape if Mesh is not specified for SkinnedMeshRenderer #1267
• NDMF Preview for Mesh by Box will is partially broken #1270
