This is a significant update.

Controls can now affect other controls using Item slots, Flags, and Ejects.

• They can switch other menus ON or OFF.
• They can make other controls active or inactive, without switching that menu ON or OFF.

Although the version number is now V1 instead of V0, this is not a breaking change (I don't want the major version to be zero any longer). Existing components are the same, and you will not lose your work.

• Add option for a less greedy vertex selection:

  • On some models, the tongue may share vertices with the rest of the face.
  • Add an option on each vertex selection section to switch to a less greedy vertex selection.

• The documentation has been moved from Notion to this location, with additional illustrations.

• Change mesh calibration to support meshes that have a non-zero origin (offset).

  • Mesh calibration is now done by converting vertices to avatar space through the 0th bindpose, which is generally the hip bone.
  • ⚠️⚡ This means if the user shifts the hip up or down, this could cause existing FaceTra rigs to cease functioning as expected.
    • Contact me on Discord if this happens to you.
  • For this reason there is now a "Override Bone Zero" option in mesh calibration to recalibrate the existing FaceTra data if necessary.
  • Existing mesh calibration options have been grayed out.

• Make vertex selection more aggressive.

  • Vertex selection will now add neighbours of vertices that have the exact same position.
  • This is intended to correct for teeth/tongue selection issues some users were having.
  • ⚠️⚡ Since the selection is more aggressive, this might expand the existing selections.
    • Contact me on Discord if this happens to you.

• Add FTWireMeshDebugger component for support requests.

Update Delete Polygons​

Delete Polygons now has an option to keep the polygons that are still connected to the mesh.

On blendshapes that shrink the body, this preserves the end caps, so the blendshape still has an effect on the mesh.

This might help with some avatar models.

Update Change Avatar Scale​

Change Avatar Scale now uses the Avatar Descriptor view position as the source size:

• ChangeAvatarScale reads the Avatar Descriptor view position Y coordinate and uses it as the source size.
• This is now the default behaviour.
• Old behaviour can be restored by checking "Custom Source Size".

New component: Recalculate Normals​

I am releasing "Recalculate Normals", a new Prefabulous Avatar component 🔥

This component will improve the shading of your avatar by recalculating blendshape normals: Light, reflections, rim lights, matcaps, and many more shader features are affected by the altered mesh surfaces.
