· Patch for Unity security advisory: https://unity.com/security/sept-2025-01
· Security patch to restrict 1 additional unsafe C# class method
· Security patch
· Fixed issue with last security patch breaking some plugins using a method we incorrectly blocked
· Security patch
· Corrected an issue with not including file names when a plugin using cslist files had an error. This was useful to plugin writers for debugging and broke with our previous security patch. This is now working properly again.
· Security patch
· User is now prompted when a plugin uses OpenURL to open a link in external browser. User can Allow, Deny, or Deny for Entire Session
· Additional tweak to fix plugins (many from creator PluginIdea) that were still broken with security patch
· Soft body physics API adjusted to aid runtime creation
· Security patch
· Changed CC BY-SA license color to green.
· Person texture url paths are now colored red when there is an error on load.
· Added trap of bad cookies that could cause the Hub download system to stop working.
· Fixed issue where packages that had the new preference to ignore dependency errors were still generating an error on startup.
· Added in display of var license for hub-hosted vars in the Hub Browser on overview and detail panels.
· Added in var package user preference to allow hiding and ignoring dependency errors for that specific package. Sometimes you just want a specific part of the package and don't want to keep the dependencies around. This will allow that to work without constantly getting errors that pop up alerting of the dependency issue.
· Added in button on SubScene panel to allow un-parent of all atoms in the SubScene.
· PackageDownloader Clear button now also clears the search text.
· Added user preference to set if errors pop open the UI or not (found on User Preferences Misc tab).
· Plugins - added FileManagerSecure.RegisterRefreshHandler(OnRefresh refreshHandler) and FileManagerSecure.DeregisterRefreshHandler(OnRefresh refreshHandler).
· Plugins - FileBrowser - added some callbacks and handlers as requested by a plugin creator.
· Fixed issue with SubScene store not working correctly in some cases if it contained a Person atom.
· Fixed issue with SubScene atom UID getting auto-set when using trigger LoadSubSceneFromPath. The auto-set was only supposed to occur if manually browsing.
· Fixed issue with parent atom loops causing uncaught errors. Can still create loops, but it no longer creates errors.
· Fixed issue with auto genital texture creation producing an error and using a null texture when the torso textures had invalid load paths.
· Plugins - added security check in VRWebBrowser OpenLinkInExternalBrowser to check if web browsers are enabled and url is on whitelist.
· Fixed typo in PackageDownloader.
· Fixed a long-standing issue with custom male hair items that used DirectSkinMale scalp not loading properly if a male character was not already loaded.
· Fixed issue with 1.22.0.0 change to triggers no longer firing actions when triggered in reverse. The new fix only applies this new behavior to scene and SubScene animation systems where the original change was intended.
· Fixed issue with Timeline animation on some controls being out of place with the 1.22.0.0 release. 1.22.0.0 added a parent relative movement system that broke this. This new patch fixes the Timeline issue and also supports the new parent relative movement system.
· Fixed issue with lip sync audio looping back to start of clip data even when clip was not set to loop causing some glitches in lipsync at the end of the clip playback.
· Added a new high-performance (threaded) and high-quality lip-sync system. Controls for it can be found in the Auto Behaviors tab in a new section.
· VariableTrigger - Added option to allow it to be driven by any other float parameter which essentially adds triggering capability to all float parameters.
· Added new atom UIButtonImage - acts like a combination of UIButton and ImagePanelTransparentEmissive atoms.
· Added new atom UIImage which can be used to display an image using the UI system (works like other UI* atoms).
· Added new atoms CensorPanel and CensorCube which can be used to make censoring effects that can be attached to other objects.
· Added new option for UI* atoms to only show when the main UI is open.
· Added several features to Atoms’ Move UI tab: text entry of absolute world positions and rotations, ability to set parent relative (local) positions and rotations, and self-relative adjustments.
· Improvements to AudioSource control and UI: Added falloff curve selection. Now only show parameters that are relevant to the selected curve. Added 2D/3D text for more clarification on spatial blend parameter. Added Ignore Distance for Volume trigger option. New recent max volume visualization.
· Added Copy/Paste/UndoPaste functions and buttons to each of the custom hair main panels (Physics, Look, and Lighting) for easy copy between items in a set.
· Added auto naming system for triggers and trigger actions. This can be overridden by setting a name manually.
· Added auto preview popup for triggers and trigger actions which shows a shorthand text representation of the action. For case of triggers with multiple actions it shows the first action found. This makes it so you don't have to open the panels to see what a trigger is doing at a glance.
· Added Copy/Paste functions to triggers (individual and whole category (start/transition/stop)).
· Added ability to select and move a range of triggers in animation system.
· Added ability to sort triggers by start time in animation system.
· Added ability to copy a set of selected triggers to new time section in animation system.
· Added scale option to WindowCamera DisplayControl.
· Added a user preference to enable depth texture generation on cameras. External programs like Reshade require this to be on for certain effects to work. Previously, this required a workaround like enabling and disabling of MacGruber.PostMagic depth-of-field effect to enable the depth texture generation on cameras. Note turning this option off requires restarting VaM (just like PostMagic). Having depth texture generation on can cost a small amount in performance which is why it is not on by default.
· When using the Select features (Select Align To From Scene, Select Link To From Scene, etc.), the current selected object is no longer deselected.
· JawControl (Jaw Physics in UI) is no longer stored/restored in appearance presets as it controls physics attributes meant for posing and animation, not appearance. Instead, now use general presets if you wish to store JawControl settings.
· Added in display of vamX version if it is loaded by the new vamX bootstrap system (needs newer version of vamX before this appears).
· Changed MeshedVR.PresetsPack.2.var appearance presets to not use the merge-style setting as that impairs how these were supposed to work.
· Active clothing/hair option now also show items that are active and hidden.
· Added "Plugins Always Disabled" category to package manager to show plugin packages that are quietly being denied permission when the contained plugins are loaded.
· Added "Plugins Always Enabled" category to package manager to show plugin packages that always have permission to load plugins without prompting.
· Added "Disabled" category to package manager to only show disabled packages.
· Added "Preload Morphs" category to package manager to show packages that have preload morphs preference set.
· Added "Missing Dependencies" category to package manager to show packages that have missing dependencies.
· Added user preference to "Always Enable Plugins" for var packages downloaded directly from in-game Hub systems. User will still be prompted, but at time of download rather than during scene load process when it is disruptive. In addition, the user can see what the user name of the Hub user who published the package is at time of approval since that information is returned by the Hub download.
· Added new user preference to control if plugins can access networking functionality. Note some existing plugins will not work until this is enabled. It is disabled by default for security reasons since users may not be aware plugins can communicate with networks.
· Added user preference to enable Leap Motion system. Note this preference is off by default to try to fix issue when VaM is firewalled which makes the plugin consume a lot of system resources. This option also allows those with Leap to disable it in a manner that is remembered on reload.
· Added user preference to use legacy world scale change method that was used in 1.20 and prior versions.
· Added a button in package manager to open the package with the Hub Downloader.
· Added small grabbable part of scroll area for shortcuts and directory scrollviews to make it easier to grab and scroll using VR controllers.
· Added FileManagerSecure.DirectoryLastWriteTime and FileManagerSecure.DirectoryCreationTime functions (for plugins).
· Improved size and font on morph UI panels for better legibility.
· Creator name popup for hair and clothing is now a filterable popup.
· Scrollable popups now scroll to the position of the selected item when the popup is open.
· When physics is reset, sim clothing now does a more complete reset.
· Physics explosion recovery now removes all links since links being on during the recovery could result in even more spaghetti!
· Error messages produced when Top Menu UI is open are now displayed after Top Menu UI is closed instead of being quietly hidden.
· Optimized start/end triggers to not have to call updates unless needed (e.g. if they have an active timer). Will help performance when using a lot of triggers.
· Fixed issue with invisible UI panel blocking part of mouse interaction (click, mouse wheel, etc.) when performance monitor was active.
· Fixed video load issue on ImagePanel atoms and other image panels when using files.
· Fixed issue for Steam users not getting unlocked content after updating to 1.21.
· Fixed non-functional alternate create button when vamX is enabled.
· Fixed vamX button icon to be clickable.
· Fixed issue with null reference in FileBrowser when GotoDirectory was called before any shortcuts were set (broke CUAManager plugin).
· Fixed issue with last creator not appearing in creator filter list for shortcuts.
· Fixed issue where Creator Filter list was not putting All at top in all cases.
· Fixed AptSpeaker volume trigger not working.
· Fixed issue with rhythm audio system not stopping when audio was paused or not playing.
· Fixed issue with min version package references not working with Scan Hub For Missing Packages.
· Fixed issue with package builder incorrectly handling references for some triggers (toggle:, hair:, and clothing: style).
· Fixed issue with material color parameters ignoring locks and resetting in other situations like overlay preset loading.
· Fixed issue with clothing and hair overlay presets not working correctly.
· Fixed issue with AnimationPattern not moving controlled object properly after scene load.
· Fixed issue with triggers that had actions being called when the animation master was seeking backwards.
· Fixed TechnoPillar atom not saving correctly so it could not be reloaded due to wrong atom type.
· Fixed issue with benchmarks no longer working.
· Fixed Unity hang and crash issue with setting a JSONStorableFloat max value to 0 or negative value when the default value was higher than the max value and then the default button was pressed.
· Fixed about:blank being considered an insecure url.
· Added option to use default system microphone input for audio sources. Can be used to drive the LipSync plugin in a live manner.
· Added option to WindowCamera to activate it as the main camera when the camera is on. This allows some scripts and plugins like LipSync to use this camera as Camera.main.
· Moved current key label next to the key button for better clarity.
· Now limit number of shortcuts that can be shown in file browsers and indicate when this happens to fix a performance issue when too many shortcuts were shown.
· The new lock clothing and hair items feature now also locks the parameters in those items preventing preset loading from changing the parameters.
· Added lock params checkbox to custom clothing and hair UI now that the new clothing and hair lock feature also locks parameters.
· Audio sources now clear the playing clip name in the UI when the clip has finished or is stopped.
· Fixed issue with other gender morphs not storing properly.
· Fixed issue with package cache files being in the release which could cause a false check integrity failure in updater.
· Added new memory optimizer system that runs during non-merge scene and/or preset load or can be run manually. Purges all dynamically loaded items like clothing and hair. The optimize after scene load option is on by default, and the optimize after preset load is off by default. Both options can be adjusted in user preferences.
· Added new Performance 2 tab in User Preferences that shows memory usage and allows performing a manual optimization.
· Added Memory Optimizer content to the performance monitor
· Note that purging items automatically or manually will result in all loaded dynamic items like clothing and hair being released from memory and they will have to be reloaded again if they are used later.
· Reduced memory leakage.
· Added a "Reload Custom Morphs" feature which can hot-reload all custom local morphs without needing a restart of the application or a hard reset.
· Switched BuiltIn, Custom, Transient, Formula category choices to a separate drop-down menu for secondary filtering. Added Custom Local and Custom Package options. This makes it possible to just see specific category morphs that also meet other criteria like being in a var package.
· Fixed an issue with some custom community morphs always getting stuck on. These morphs were duplicates of hidden built-in morphs used by various systems like glute and anatomy joints and were getting activated by those systems such that they were always stuck on and saved in every file. The fix makes it so the built-in systems now properly use the built-in morphs and not the custom copies.
· When hovering over morph name it now shows a popup to show what category that morph is in.
· Fixed bone movement portion of bone morphs still getting applied when the package they were in was removed or disabled.
· Fixed issue with demand-loaded morphs staying loaded forever. Now they unload when the Person atom is put back into the atom pool (scene load), when memory is optimized, or when dynamic objects are unloaded.
· Morphs now properly refresh when a package’s preload morphs option is changed.
· Morph category popup now correctly resyncs when morphs are resynced.
· Increased size of morph package popup.
· Added an option for custom clothing to be marked as a non-clothing item (eye shadows, etc.) and added a way for remove all clothing that does not affect these items.
· Added clothing and hair lock system - allows items to not be affected by remove all or preset load - can be useful for mixing and matching presets or preventing specific items from being removed.
· Added 3 new triggerable actions on Person for removal of all clothing, removal of all real clothing, and undress of all clothing.
· Sim textures on custom sim clothing can now be loaded in the textures section.
· Fixed Miss Kringle Dress to be properly marked as Sim type.
· Fixed clothing UI so both description and instructions of packaged items are properly visible.
· Fixed issue with clothing creator bump to normal texture creation. Normal map had red and blue channels flipped resulting in a pink image instead of light blue. Thanks to VeeRifter for bringing this to our attention and providing lots of details
· Added a resync items button to clothing and hair UI for quick refresh of displayed items. Useful for when active or locked items change and are not yet reflected in the displayed list.
· Now defer refresh of clothing, hair, and morphs after a new package is loaded if the Hub browser is open. This prevents needless hanging while interacting with the Hub. The refresh then happens as soon as the Hub is closed.
· Added additional checks for Non-Commercial (NC) dependencies when license is set to PC or PC EA.
· User is now presented with final confirm or cancel popup when trying to package something with possible license issues, like violating NC licenses of dependencies
· Package name is now auto-set if not yet set when adding 1st item. Uses the base file name of the item to set the package name.
· Preset names on preset managers are no longer stored in the scene by default. This will prevent "false" package references that are not important for the actual scene use. The old behavior can be set with a new toggle labelled "Store Preset Name In Scene" on the preset panel in case some scenes want to have the preset name set to allow triggering a preset load. Note that existing scenes are unaffected. Also note the trigger system has a way to send the preset name to the preset manager before loading so storing the preset name in the scene should really not be necessary.
· If a dependency has PC EA license, now properly check against the secondary license and show that if the PC EA date has passed
· Updated the built-in web browser asset to the latest available from the asset creator - this includes a newer version of Chromium that should work again with many sites that were broken, including Patreon.
· Added web site domain whitelisting (on by default) to only allow browsers to specific domains. Can edit whilelist_domains.json file in text editor to change defaults.
· Added warning in web browsers/panels if they are navigated to a non-whitelist site.
· Fixed issue where enabling web browser in user preferences didn't remove the panel blocking use of web browser atoms.
· All ImagePanel, TVs, and other props that supported images now also support video playback (avi or mp4 (H.264)). This works with streaming url, local files, or packaged files. Note that packaged files have to be extracted to temp or cache file before they can be played due to how Unity's VideoPlayer works. The caching system now supports this, so the cost is only paid once per file.
· DreamHomeTV and AptSmartTV: Background is now black and specular now matches the image.
· Added new atom ImagePanelTransparentEmissiveOverlay which can be used to always display image on top of everything like the UI does.
· Added warning on image panels when web images user preference is not enabled.
· Added warning on image panels when web image is not from whitelist site domain.
· Added Open In Explorer button to file browsers (only works when desktop monitor is active to prevent opening Windows Explorer windows while in VR).
· Added creator filter for file browsers shortcuts list.
· Added search filter for file browsers shortcuts list.
· Plugins are now enabled by default since there is already a popup for individual plugin opt-in.
· Added 2 new functions to FileManagerSecure for file timestamps: FileManagerSecure.FileLastWriteTime(string path, bool onlySystemFiles = false) and FileManagerSecure.FileCreationTime(string path, bool onlySystemFiles = false).
· Added SuperController.singleton.LoadedSceneName (return string of currently loaded scene)
· Added preset overlay save system. When this option is used (available on most preset panels), the preset store will only store the minimal set of changes compared to the default settings. When these types of presets are loaded, only the specific settings are loaded and changed.
· Added a first-time user startup opt-in/out panel with recommended settings presented and explanations of each option.
· Better vamX integration
· WindowCamera: added option for it to be used as the audio listener when the camera is on.
· Monitor camera now becomes the audio listener by default when it is activated when using VR.
· Added user preference to set whether monitor camera should be used as audio listener when activated when using VR.
· Added DJ.TanLines.2.var package which adds skin presets which only overlay the decal textures and leave remaining skin parameters untouched. Also adds texture variants with pubic hair.
· Updated the Leap Motion dll to the Gemini compatible version which brings better tracking. If you are using Leap Motion, please update to Gemini https://developer.leapmotion.com/tracking-software-download
· Added physics/collision options to SimpleSign atom.
· Added mouse over for texture paths on Skin Textures panel to show readable version of url.
· Added mouse over for texture paths on materials panels.
· Added iris, sclera, and eyelashes cheat sheets to materials pages.
· Increased Free Nav Multiplier in user preferences from 4 to 8.
· Increased max range of world scale slider from 20 to 40.
· Added +5 -5 buttons to world scale.
· When changing world scale, the players eye center position will now always remain constant, so the point of view is exactly the same. It will now just appear as if everything gets bigger/smaller and further/closer as scale changes.
· Player height adjust can now go beyond -10 and 10 while moving or setting the world scale. Slider automatically adjusts min/max if those soft limits are exceeded.
· Error and log message popup splash times are now based on 5 seconds of real time instead of a specific number of rendered frames to make them framerate independent.
· Added error and log popup splash clear buttons which clear message and close the splash immediately.
· WindowCamera is no longer removable as it is always meant to be there and can't be added back once removed.
· Dildo, ToyAH, and ToyBP: added UV coordinates and texture panels now work.
· Paddle model update with cleaner mesh and UV layout. 2nd material channel fixed. Materials updated to shader that support alpha channel.
· Removed merge load option from skin and pose presets since those would not do anything different than regular load
· Added Align To Receiver buttons on AnimationStep atom
· Fixed issue with Skin and Appearance Presets incorrectly applying material and texture changes to currently active skin in addition to the one that will get switched to.
· Fixed issue with Skin and Appearance Presets not correctly applying textures to current active skin if another skin was already loaded.
· Fixed issue where pay type could get set to All and get stuck when in Steam non-promotional mode.
· Fixed issue where clicking change location of cache in preferences panel would immediately purge the cache before changing the location. Now it only purges if the location is changed after browsing.
· Fixed issue where turning a hidden material back on would reset the renderqueue back to the shader's default renderqueue instead of the currently set one. https://hub.virtamate.com/threads/1-20-77-9-hide-material-resets-render-queue.12347/
· Fixed issue when latest version of package was disabled content could no longer be retreived if a fallback version was present and content was trying to be accessed using version of 'latest'.
· Fixed issue with alert panel not showing in correct place if both the top world UI and main UI were both open
· Fixed broken Align To Root buttons on AnimationStep atom
· Added Package Downloader - a new system that allows copy/paste of a resource URL from external browser or entering a specific var package name into an input box to find and download that resource or package and all its dependencies in an easy manner. Can be used as alternative to in-game Hub browser for getting Hub content. There is a new toolbar item to open this system.
· Plugins - added new Alert system with callbacks which allows plugin to prompt user for OK or OK/Cancel style popup with a message. public void Alert(string alertMessage, UnityAction okAlertCallback, DisplayUIChoice displayUIChoice = DisplayUIChoice.Auto); public void Alert(string alertMessage, UnityAction okAlertCallback, UnityAction cancelAlertCallback, DisplayUIChoice displayUIChoice = DisplayUIChoice.Auto);
· Improved load and save performance with large json files. An example 5-minute long mocap scene improved save and load times by 40%. This fix will enable saving and restoring very long data fields in an efficient manner which will allow plugins to encode binary data into json files without a huge performance hit. Thank you to community legend and superstar AcidBubbles for the suggestion and sample code for the fix!
· Improved Hub opt-in agreement system
· Changes to meet requirements from Valve for release of vamX + VaM product on Steam - Steam version removes all promotional links since they are not allowed. Paid category type also had to be removed from Hub browser. Reddit and other specific web site links that promoted paid content in any way also had to be removed. Basically Valve doesn’t want any paid content in an application unless that paid content is on Steam so they can get their (large) cut of the proceeds.
· Plugins - added two new public methods to FileManagerSecure to allow plugins to check if packages exist: public static bool PackageExists(string packageUid); public static int GetPackageVersion(string packageUid);
· Plugins - added two new public methods to MVRPluginManager to allow reloading or removing other plugins: public void ReloadPluginWithUID(string uid); public void RemovePluginWithUID(string uid);

· New cyberpunk themed music
· New cyberpunk themed global skies
· New cyberpunk themed female clothing outfit
· Person atom – dozens of new built-in animations added to the built-in animator
· Animation - Animators now only move the control when it is in "On" state. Controls controlled by Animation Pattern or built-in animator can now be temporarily grabbed. "Link", "Hold", and "Lock" states also prevent the animation from moving the control to allow override.
· File Browse - Overwrite save does not refresh the file browsers so page and scroll position can be remembered
· File Browse - file browsers now stay open properly if UI is toggled off and back on or if Hub is opened and closed, allowing quick switch back and forth
· Hub - Missing dependencies panel now opens even if there are no missing dependencies so you know it is working

This works around a Unity issue that prevents compressed & mipmapped NPOT textures from loading correctly with the raw texture load function that was being used for cached texture loading. This should fix the lack of mipmaps on these textures which could cause artifacts like moire, jagged edges, and sparkle. To see this fix requires clearing the texture cache to get the currently non-mipmapped textures to be regenerated to have mipmaps.

· Add more scalp choices
· Custom scalp import
· Multithread style joint creation
· Sub-style support (style presets)
· Create more built-in styles
· Rigidity painting (allows custom rigidity per strand instead of just using the root->mid->tip curve parameters).
· Optimizations
· (Maybe) Add support for multi-section hair with sections that have different number of segments and simulation parameters
· VR is recommended for use of styling tools since you must move 3d objects in precise manner to manipulate hair, but if desktop is used, drag the tool to move it. Use LeftCtrl+drag or LeftShift+drag of tool to rotate it. Use right-mouse drag on screen to rotate view quickly for another angle view.
· After you click “Save Style”, style mode will stop and it will switch to sim mode. It may look like your style was somewhat lost. There are 2 factors here. For good style hold, you must create style joints (this button to do this will turn yellow to indicate that). This process is slow so is not done automatically when saving style. There may also be cases where you do not want to store or regenerate the style joints after styling. The other factor is the root->mid->tip rigidity parameter settings. These can control how firmly hair holds to the style, but setting too high will cause hair to be stiff and won’t simulate motion.
· For quick styling you can move the head around while in style mode (must click the toggle to enable moving of another nodes to do this)
· Put Person in default pose before creating hair as hair tools are placed according to this pose. Also – scalp mask edit currently cannot work on skinned mesh so editing is done on base t-posed mesh.
· Vary tool strength to achieve different styling effects
· The Pull tool can be very useful for making pulled styles like tails and slick back. Try using a very large pull tool over entire head to quickly line up hairs.
· Use hold tool in one hand while using another tool in the other hand to help hold parts of hair in place
· Use world scale to make it easier to edit depending on if you are trying to edit a large section at a time or working on fine details.
· Sim Hair V3 – Custom hair creation and styling
o Improved scalps: closer to head
o Scalps are now wrapped so they match with head morphs. Hair sprouts directly from wrapped vertices for perfect match

· Fixed for AUTO morphs not being available after saving a preset that used them
· Fixed issue with saving scene with custom morph loaded from a local appearance import directory resulted in save with bad morph reference
· Fixed oculus desktop mode toggle key not working
· Fixed so retake of screenshot for custom clothing item now properly updates the thumbnail

· Added new user pref to disable teleport when possessing. Option enabled by default
· Added higher physics rates meant to be used with slow motion (low values of time scale) only: 120, 144, 240, 288
· SteamVR mode – added fallback to standard pose and trigger grab when finger skeleton is not available. Mostly for WMR users
· Always show ray lines when UI is open for easier pointing
· Fixed Oculus native mode to correctly work with new finger pose user prefs.
· Fixed issue with new thumb and finger settings not loading with proper initial defaults and not setting to initial pose on startup.
· Added control of thumb and finger input spread and bend as a user preference to allow customizing rest pose. Also added thumb and finger input factor which allows a reduced grip pose when grabbing. The defaults match closer to what hand pose was in 1.17.0.X and earlier.
· Valve Index touch grip is no longer bound to quick local grab to prevent accidental grab. This functionality is now additionally on the trigger by default, so trigger can both remote and local grab. Full toggle grab remains as grip squeeze. All of these bindings can be changed in SteamVR controller settings as a user preference.
· Teleport revamped to be more like older system. By default top touch of thumbpad on Index, Vive, and WMR controllers starts the teleport and shows where you would teleport. Press of the top of the touchpad executes the teleport. This can also be customized in SteamVR controller settings as a user preference.
· Fixed desktop toggle targets (T key) not working
· Fixed Deeper Vagina and Throat triggers from getting triggered by chest colliders in some cases
· A few other default controller binding fixes for consistency left/right and/or between different controllers
· Added official SteamVR input bindings for Windows Mixed Reality (WMR) controllers. Should be a good start, and people can personalize in SteamVR settings as needed. It appears the WMR controllers do not provide a hand skeleton, so possessed hands are mangled. I’ll have to work on a fix for this when I get back.
· Added mouth/teeth/tongue material control
· Presets now support thumbnails
· Physics rate system redone. New default is “Auto” which picks a physics rate that best matches the headsets current refresh rate. Added 60hz and 72hz physics rates. Note 90hz is the highest because running physics higher than this is not realistic in such a physics-heavy game. I found 120Hz refresh with Index on my system works a lot better than 90Hz, because physics can run at 60Hz and be less demanding overall, and reprojection at 60Hz also works great for more complex scenes. 60Hz may be the ideal physics rate overall.
· SteamVR Plugin update
· SteamVR Input overhaul. Completely redone to use SteamVR binding system, which allows easy customization of controls using SteamVR tool. To customize, open up dashboard while in game (system button), click the Settings Button. The click Input Bindings Button. There are tutorials online for this as this is a common input binding system used in many new games
· SteamVR finger tracking. Works with ALL controllers, but works best with Index controllers.
· New Person finger pose options: Morphs (current), new per finger JSON params, or Remote. Binds in with new SteamVR finger tracking for fine-finger control during possess or via remote. Works best with Index controllers.
· Push/pull of remotely-grabbed nodes. Requires SteamVR input system. Note Oculus Touch users can simply run VaM in OpenVR mode using included .bat file if they would like to have more controller flexibility.
· Added option to show controllers in SteamVR mode. Works with all headsets to show accurate representation of the controllers. If used with new SteamVR gloves hands option and choose controller hand pose in the VR user preferences, you will see accurate hand on controller representation.
· Added new VR Hands model: SteamVR gloves (currently no collision)
· Vive Tracker support updates. Now support up to 8 Trackers. Trackers need to be assigned roles (Left Foot, Chest, etc.) to work in VaM now. Ignore the role names as any Tracker can be bound to anything inside VaM. To set Trackers roles, click the Tracker icon in SteamVR and click Manage Trackers.
· New Possess options: Unpossess specific possessed node, 2-stage possess without clearing existing posess, and clear head possess only
· Fixed issue with complex scenes loading incorrectly when joints set to Comply

· Fixed corrupted TechnoLightBar+Light atom – wrong type was saved preventing restore
· Fixed issue with glow on some shaders (notably female skin tessellation shaders)
· Gloss now clamped to 2 to 8 on import of custom clothing. Prevents all-black render from way out-of-range gloss values
· Rift S & 80hz support – physics interpolation is now properly turned off when Mid physics rate selected. This gives a slight performance boost. Now auto-set interpolation based on if physics rate matches headset refresh rate or not.
· Plugins – added ability to disable log to output_log.txt when using LogError and LogMessage functions. Intended for plugins that do a lot messaging for debug/info.
· Rift S matched physics rate (80fps) support to reduce judder. Select new “Mid” physics rate in User Preferences.
· Fixed issue with red collision capsule on player head (was used for debugging Leap Motion issue and was not correctly removed in 1.17.0.2)
· Fixed issue with save/load browse file entry wrongly cleared when in file mode. Should have only been for directory mode.
· Fixed issue with creator name not properly applied during initial creation
· Fixed issue with cancel button in import area or clear button not properly terminating sim generation if it was running
· Fixed issue with custom clothing force reload not restoring material tabs

Updater now also embeds the config file for less user-error of not extracting this file. Updater no longer writes over key files on update (unless force repair all is used).
· Vastly improved clothing and hair init and reset
· Improved key entry handling and messaging. Properly detect file i/o issues and report. Program version now appears on the key entry panel for easier matching to keys
· Disable anatomy now works properly with custom textures
· DAZ Import – added support for <> characters in duf/dsf files
· Improved cloth sim data generation abort method to be more immediate and properly clear data
· WindowCamera – collision now off by default since this is an invisible item
· Reverted back to old default scene (Saves/scene/MeshedVR/default.json). Note that Saves/scene/default.json is no longer included so you can make your own default and it won’t be overwritten when updating versions.
· Added new Sim Texture Template creation to Clothing Creator. Regular UV template texture outputs with white background and white lines. Sim UV template texture outputs with black background with blue lines. This allows painting red directly on the template texture without having to bother with another layer. The sim ignores the black background and blue lines.
· Fixed issue with sim clothing style state not restoring properly
· Fixed issue with Leap Motion initialization causing large offsets
· Fixed issue with creator name not getting reset properly in clothing creator when loading a new item or clearing
· Fixed issue with material unloading on shared material (fixes female1 missing eyelashes and a couple of other cases of this issue)
· Fixed issue with double entry when browsing for directory path
· Fixed issue with non-existent suggested path causing file/directory browser to error and display empty content
· Clothing creator: disable creator name text entry after import. This is because import places textures in directory with the creator name in it. This is to avoid confusion and splitting the item into multiple directories
· Added a few shaders to always include list as requested to fix a plugin. 1.17 broke this plugin due to all shaders being moved to assetbundle
· Cap desktop framerate to 300. Prevents GPU churn on empty scene and during startup. In some cases the extreme fps (1000+) could cause the app to hang
· Added ability to set default creator name in User Preferences (Misc tab)
· Added ability to set additional DAZ library directory in User Preferences (Misc tab) in case auto-method using registry entries does not work

· Fixed black tongue on female
· Fixed male2 and male3 groin area textures
· Fix for white bands around irises for some sclera choices for male skins
· Improved exception handling around DAZ import in case of further issues. This will at least provide error messages if there is a problem
· UV template texture is now pure blue to allow it to be easily used for sim texture without having to remove the lines. Simply draw in pure red where you want the clothing to stick to model using the UV lines as a guide. No need to clear the blue as it is ignored in sim
· Heatwave Shirt – set back to transparent queue as it was in 1.16. Can be adjusted using new render queue setting if desired
· No longer update Saves/scene/default.json – this is fully under user control now. If this file is missing, it instead tries to load Saves/scene/MeshedVR/default.json
· Updater complete overhaul. Now allows selecting version of VaM to sync. Major speed improvement. Major reliability improvement. Incremental build support (replaces unreliable binary patch method).
· Custom clothing import. Create custom clothing items. Full support for sim included
· Custom texture support for clothing, including addition of decal texture slot.

Also fixed the scalp cutoff of many of the hair styles as some were too low or were missing sections.
· Sim Hair Rendering – New coloring system for easier root->tip coloring and rolloff. Added ability to select between Fast and Quality shader (in the Look tab). Fast shader does not receive shadows (but still casts them) but can be up to 2-3x faster to render. Added in proper light attenuation based on light distance. Directional shadow casting now works. Minor tweaks to lighting calculations. Redid all existing hair settings with new colors and looks.
· Enhanced Soft Body Physics – New parameters for breast region for finer control and added variety. Fast movement and prediction improvements. Eliminated flashing/jerking issue – much smoother movement now. Increased allowable range on mass. Added ability to set max soft body distance for more range of movement. Performance improvements. Added alternate glute colliders when glute soft-body is off. Added proper GPU colliders for both breasts and glutes when soft-body is off.
· New simulated clothing items. Added sim variants for DATM Pants, Alphakini Bra and Panty, and Heat Up Panty. All of these include various states to start in like non-sim counterparts. Added new Garden Party Dress. A new school girl outfit was going to be added, but there were some issues with how the mesh was put together that prevented it from simulating correctly. There are plans to remedy this in future release.

· Morph Compiler – converts custom morph dsf files to VaM specific meta & binary files.
· Morph Packager and re-use improvements – morphs are now packaged using new VaM specific files. When you load a package from someone else, the morphs are auto-copied into your Import folder under new AUTO subfolder. Duplicates are no longer reported, and copy is only made if you don’t already have the morph in the AUTO folder. This should make sharing easier and also fixes issue of saving a look out of someone elses VAC scene.
· Point Light Shadow Bias control – this allows setting bias lower for tighter shadows. This helps with clothing and nostril shadows. Setting too low can cause self-shadowing which can darken skin in seemingly non-shadowed areas, but this could also be considered a feature to allow creating unique lighting.

1.12 is a very technical release with a lot of core framework changes, so the impact of many of the items listed here might not be immediately obvious. The most obvious outward change is the UI overhaul. Many of the other changes won’t be apparent until modders and advanced creators get some time with them. Now that the core is in much better shape, I plan to spend more time getting back to content oriented features like hair sim, clothing sim, and other primary focus on the Person atom.
· Alpha Feature: Plugin system. Dynamically load and run code to make VaM do things it doesn’t support out-of-the-box!
· UI overhaul
· Triggers and animation: hundreds of new animatable properties and several new trigger types and options
· Sim Hair V2 improved collision and you can now move hair with hands
· Load c# code or managed c# dll files dynamically. Template and a couple of samples provided. More info and documentation coming.
· Register new variables in dynamic code that get saved/restored in scene json file. These plugins act as true extensions to the core system.
· Custom UI support
· Quick and easy UI builder from code without the hassle of making a UI outside of VaM and importing it
· CustomUnityAsset can now automatically load a neighboring dll built from Unity using assembly definitions, meaning you can import custom behaviors that were developed with the asset in Unity
· CustomUnityAsset now finds embedded UI canvases and registers them so they can be interacted with properly. Also added ability to toggle these found UI elements on and off.
· New vertical tab design and nearly every panel was redesigned.
· New system is easily scalable and customizable to make future UI changes easier
· Complete trigger UI redesign to make it much easier to manage lots of triggers
· Long popups are all scrollable and have been moved to provide maximum viewing area
· Slider text can now be selected to allow typing in specific numbers
· Color pickers now have usable RGB sliders and values can also be typed in
· Collision trigger: added Atom filter to only consider or exclude specific atom
· New AnimationStep triggers: OnActive/Transition/OnInactive. Often easier to adjust a timeline of triggers with this over AnimationPattern triggers.
· AudioSource: added volume based trigger system
· 100s of new parameters on the trigger/animation system. Lots more things are targetable
· New Atom physics params: drag, friction, and bounciness
· Play mode changes to align this mode with long-term vision to make play mode the mode to run created scenes in with minimal fuss and complexity. In future you should be able to make “games” that run in play mode and not really know it is VaM under the hood other than the main menu.
· Play mode UI removed to pave way for future release that will support custom play mode UI.
· Tons of new furniture and prop atoms
· More interactable elements on environment atoms
· Installer/patcher now use https downloads
· Many, many more tweaks and bug fixes. Please see https://trello.com/b/LDlEpfvk/virt-a-mate-public-plans for more details
