1.7.1 - 2024-05-07 #

Added #

• Implement mask texture editor #1044
• Add Simplified Chinese translation #1055

Changed #

• Improved behavior with Read/Write Off #1045
  • Because of Unity limitation, AAO cannot process meshes with R/W off on Start so it will be error.
  • However, on Awake, we can read them so AAO should process them.
  • Since this version, AAO will process meshes with R/W off on Awake.
  • This reduces the number of errors on the apply on play.
  • If you’re using Av3Emulator, you still see the error.
  • In addition, in such case, we’ll show Auto Fix button on the error message.
  • If you press the button, AAO will fix the error by changing the mesh to read/write enabled.
• Advanced Options section has benn renamed to Debug Options #1052
  • This express the purpose of the section more clearly.
• Added Advanced Optimizations and moved Remove Zero sized Polygons to it #1052
  • The Remove Zero sized Polygons can break some shaders or animations so it’s not enabled by default.
  • To make it more clear, we moved it to Advanced Optimizations.

Fixed #

• Material Slot animations for multi-material multi-pass rendering are broken #1042
  • Previously we only preserves animations for the number of submeshes instead of material slots.
• Relax Bounds condition for Automatic Merge Skinned Mesh #1043
  • Previously, AAO doesn’t merge Skinned Meshes if bounds are different accurately.
  • Since this version, AAO will merge meshes if bounds are the same with precision to the last 6 digits of decimal point.
• Entry/Exit to BlendTree broken with None state 1048
• Particle System with bone-rigged Skinned Mesh Renderer will be broken #1054

1.7.0 - 2024-04-30 #

Added #

• Animator Optimizer #854
  • Most features of Animator Optimizer is not available in Unity 2019.
  • Animator Optimizer optimizes your Animator Controller without behaviour Changes
  • Current Optimizer includes the following optimization
    • Remove meaningless properties #854
    • Converts Entry / Exit to 1D BlendTree #854 #867 #927 #970 #982 #991
    • Merges multiple BlendTrees to single Direct BlendTree #870 #978 #980 #984
    • Removes meaningless Animator Layers #870
• Asset Description #847
  • Asset Description is the file to provide information of your assets for Avatar Optimizer.
  • Please see documentation for more details.
• Warning for material animation in Merge Skinned Mesh #769
  • Merge Skinned Mesh does not support animating material properties differently. (In other words, it can be broken.)
  • Since this version, AAO will warn for such a case.
  • If you animated all materials from same animations, your animation will not be warned.
• API for declaring dependency relationship to the name of the component #943
  • You can use this API to not change the name of the GameObject.
• Configuring Clamp BlendShapes (Deprecated) #957
  • Since VRCSDK 3.5.1, VRCSDK sets Clamp BlendShapes (Deprecated) to true on assembly reload.
  • This is not a good setting for AAO in EditMode since AAO does not support clamping BlendShapes.
  • That’s why AAO now configures Clamp BlendShapes (Deprecated) to false in edit mode and true in play mode.
  • PlayMode is usually used for testing the avatar behavior so it’s better to have the same setting as VRChat client.
  • If you want not to change this setting, please disable Tools/Avatar Optimizer/Configure Clamp BlendShape Weight.
• Automatic Merge Skinned Mesh #952 #972 #1010 #1020 #1021
  • Trace and Optimize now automatically merges Skinned Meshes if possible.
  • Trace and Optimize will merge your mesh if the material properties or enablement of the mesh is animated similarly and has no BlendShapes.
• Components API for Scripting Usage #976
  • You can now add AAO components from your script.
• Animations animating missing GameObject is removed #994
  • Since this update, animations that targeting GameObjects with post-AAO paths is no longer working.
  • Please create animations that targeting GameObjects with pre-AAO paths.
• Remove Mesh by Mask #998
  • With this component, you can remove polygons with mask texture.
  • You can use use mask for MeshDeleterWithTexture or alpha mask to remove polygons.
• Remove Empty SubMesh in Trace and Optimize #1007
  • This removes empty SubMeshes including becomes empty by optimization.

Changed #

• MergePhysBone now corrects curve settings #775
• MergePhysBone now warns if chain length are not same #775
• MergePhysBone with only one source is now error #775
  • It was not working well and not a error by a bug.
• Animator Parser is completely rewritten #850 #968 #1011
  • New Animator Parser allow us to track animating properties animated by components removed by AAO.
• PhysBone that swings no bones are now removed #864
  • I found such a PhysBone on Lime so I added this feature.
• Switched Localization system to NDMF from CL4EE #873
  • Since this release, Avatar Optimizer is no longer depends on CL4EE.
  • Because VCC doesn’t remove unused packages, CL4EE may still be installed on your project.
  • If you want to remove CL4EE, please remove it manually.
• Suppressed animated BlendShape warning of FreezeBlendShape if it’s animated to a few constants #881
  • Modern models have tons of BlendShapes to change their face shape but emotion animation of some of them animates such a BlendShapes to constant (default value).
  • That’s unnecessary (incorrect I think) and force users to remove or change the clip when user wants to face shape.
  • I see AAO users use FreezeBlendShapes for overriding such a BlendShapes on twitter.
  • I think using this way is reasonable enough so I suppressed the warning if AAO detected such a usage.
• Changed minimum VRCSDK to 3.3.0 #882
  • VRCSDK 3.3.0 is required for stable NDMF-VRCSDK compatibility.
• Endpoint Position settings for newly created MergePhysBone is now Copy instead of Clear #945
  • The Clear settings will increase the number of PhysBone Transforms so it’s not better as a default settings.
• Improved activeness animation warning in Merge Skinned Mesh #948
  • Reduced false-positive warnings
    • Previously, AAO warns if activeness warning is applied to different GameObjects.
    • However, this can be false-positive if animation is applied to different GameObjects with same timing.
    • Since this version, AAO will not warn if the activeness is animated in same animation clip with same curve.
  • Combined warning per Merge Skinned Mesh component.
    • Previously, AAO warns for each source Renderers.
    • Since this version, AAO creates one warning for each Merge Skinned Mesh component.
• Add error for Cloth component in Merge Skinned Mesh component #949
  • The Cloth component is not supported by Merge Skinned Mesh component.
  • In previous versions, AAO will keep the source Skinned Mesh Renderer if it’s with Cloth component by bug.
  • Since this version, AAO will make an error if the source Skinned Mesh Renderer is with Cloth component.
• Remove Unused Objects now removes PhysBones and Contact Receivers with parameters defined but not used by Animator Controllers #959
  • Previously, AAO did not remove PhysBones and Contact Receivers if they are defined in Animator Controllers whether they are used or not.
  • I thought such a PhysBones on the base body are rare but my friend told me there is Manuka has such a PhysBone so I added this feature.
• Dropping GameObject to PrefabSafeSet adds the All components on the GameObject to the PrefabSafeSet #960
  • You can add all PhysBones on the GameObject by dropping the GameObject to the MergePhysBone component.
• MergeSkinnedMesh now warns if Root Bone or Anchor Override are not set #963
• It will be error if read/write mesh is off in play mode again #1018
  • I found that we may not possible to read mesh with r/w mesh off mode in play mode with the Av3Emulator.
• Disabled AutoFreezeBlendShape for Skinned Mesh Renderers with Cloth component #1029
  • According to the report, making some polygons zero-size by AutoFreezeBlendShape will make initializing avatar extremely heavy.
  • After a small discussion, we decided to not automatically optimize Skinned Mesh Renderers with Cloth component.
