d4rkpl4y3r Avatar Optimizer 3.4.0

Add Repo to VCC

Features

• Improved support for poiyomi shaders to better match the lock in logic.
  • Add support for //ifex parsing which is important for poi 9.0 as it is used to skip entire passes.
  • Add support for #if defined(PROP_Texture) || !defined(OPTIMIZER_ENABLED) macros to skip unused texture properties.
• Massive performance improvements for the perf rank change preview.
  • My personal avatar went from 450ms to 35ms. (AnimatorController.layers is slow and you should cache it)

Changes

• Always merge other meshes into the mesh Body if it exists. (more)
• Add property filter for the shader analyzer debugger.
• Auto Refresh Preview Timeout now ignores the first time it is over the threshold.
  • This is because the first time the preview is calculated it takes longer than usual.

Bug Fixes

• Fix material property animation of the original property not getting the correct material. prefix.
• Don't duplicate shader functions with a Texture2DArray parameter.
• Fix detection of cull ShaderLab property and disable merge with off when there is more than one cull property.
• Fix crash when a MeshRenderer has no MeshFilter on the same GameObject. (more)

Since v3.3.0

Bug Fixes

• Fix Delete Unused GameObjects not marking the global phys bone collider transforms as used.
• Fix sort order of which mesh should get priority for getting merged into.
• Fix WD ON workflow toggles not stopping NaNimation when Optimize FX Layer is disabled.
• Fix NaNimation getting blocked by WD ON workflow even for meshes that are on by default.
• Don't normalize normals & tangents when merging meshes. This fixes outlines that are dependent on the normal length to determine mesh scale.
• Clamp blendshape value to 0-100 when baking the blendshape to match in-game blendshape clamping.
• Fix crash when no fxlayer is present.
• Fix non shader or NaNimation toggles getting broken.
• Fix it not working in unity 2019

d4rkpl4y3r Avatar Optimizer 3.3.1

Hotfix for Unity 2019

Add Repo to VCC

Features

• Add new way to toggle merged meshes NaNimation.
  • This allows merging meshes that have shaders that don't support shader toggles.
  • Add sub option Keep Default Enabled State which only merges meshes that have the same default enabled state.
  • Add sub option Allow 3 Bone Skinning which allows NaNimation on all meshes by reducing the skinning quality on meshes that use 4 bone weights.
• Add sub option Merge MainTex that decides whether the _MainTex property is allowed to be merged into a texture array. (more)

Changes

• No longer put the dummy animation clip in empty states. (more)
• Add debug list Mesh Bone Weight Stats.
• Add debug list and validation info for when some meshes can't use NaNimation because of missing on or off animations.
• Collapsed some info boxes regarding materials that can't merge into one info box.
• The UI is now disabled when in play mode. This saves performance when testing with av3 emulator without running the optimizer.
• Requires ORL shader generator 6.2 or newer for faster shader parsing of .orlshader files.
• Mesh only uses 1 or 2 bone weight skinning if none of the vertices need more than that. Was always 4 bone weights before.
• Slightly increase the size of the performance rank change icons.
• Minor performance improvements:
  • Calculating if materials can merge is faster which speeds up the preview.
  • Merging skinned mesh data is faster by pre allocating list capacity and skipping uv sets that don't exist.

Bug Fixes

• Fix crash when a material name has slashes or other characters that are not allowed in file names.
• Fix crash in 2022 when an extra animator is not humanoid or doesn't have an avatar definition. (more)
• Fix macro to declare tex##_ST not being detected as a custom texture property declaration macro.
• Fix log spam in 2022 from vector array properties also setting as a float value.
• Fix material property animations on MeshRenderer components that get combined into a SkinnedMeshRenderer still being bound to the MeshRenderer type.
• Fix basic merged mesh blobs also trying to use Use Shader Toggles when it is enabled but the shaders don't support it. (more)
• Fix non triangle topology meshes not working when merged.
• Fix Merge Same Ratio Blend Shapes not working correctly if some ratios had 0 values in them.
• Fix crash with Skinned Mesh Renderers that have no mesh assigned to them. (more)
• Fix VRCFury check only checking the root game object and not all children. (more)

Since v3.2.0

Bug Fixes

• Fix phys bone dependency check only checking the moved transforms and not all children. (more)
• Fix ignored transform in phys bone not being marked as moving despite it being possible thanks to stretch & squish.
• Fix delete unused game objects not registering phys bone ignore transforms as used. (more)
• Fix crash when a static mesh has a missing material and Write Properties as Static Values is enabled. (more)
