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

  • 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
