Patch Notes for Version 1.1 -

New Features -

Added several new animations, expressions and blendshapes that cover a wide range of customization
Added more body sliders, allowing for a wider variety of appearances in game.
Revamped the body customization radial menu, now featuring multiple different categories such as: muscles, breasts, general shapes and additional controls
Added a body reset button which returns all body-focused sliders to the default state
Added a body preset axis puppet which allows you to blend between four different body shapes separate from the individual sliders
Breasts now have three physbone physics modes to choose from: standard, increased physics and disabled physics. Some of these toggles are disabled when wearing specific outfits
Added a bicep flex toggle which activates when pulling a closed fist gesture. Please note that results may vary depending on your VR controllers
Added MMD Compatibility for use with MMD worlds, includes a full range of expressions and blendshapes to properly animate the avatar whilst using these worlds
Added additional customization for several clothing pieces
Added a new addition to the outfit pack, the Ink Artist Outfit. This outfit also comes with a blend file and substance painter file
Added right hand face expressions for right handed vr gestures
The avatars material presets have been split into three avatar presets! You can now pick and choose which version of the avatar you wish to use before uploading. This change was made in order to cut down on texture memory size and improve overall performance
Outfits from the outfit pack are now visible in the unity scene! You can visibly see each outfit as you load it into the project, which also makes it easier to drag and drop materials onto the outfits without the need to enable/disable them like previously. This has no impact on the configuration of the outfits and will still function like they did in version 1
The models UVs and textures have been reworked from the ground up! This should provide for a much cleaner and easier way to edit the textures manually. Please note that these new UVS are incompatible with the textures from V1 and therefore any custom textures will not position correctly. I deeply apologize for this inconvenience but it felt like for the best in order to deliver a better baseline for new users wishing to edit their own models
The Eye UVs and textures have had a massive makeover! The avatar now comes with multiple eye texture variations for you to choose from, and should be much easier to edit as well.
The fabric textures on the default gloves have been remade and should look more appealing.
V1.1 introduces a suite of tattoo decals to play around with! Expanded from V1; choose from a selection of four tattoos all hand painted and color adjustable, and act as slots for users who wish to create their very own tattoos or overlays
Added additional material presets for the Gloves and Leggings set and the Adventurers coat
Rena’s teeth and gums have been redesigned to have a classical toon style, with lip outlines to make the mouth line easier to see.
The armature has additional bones to support various movements in the body
Added toe bones to enable individual toe posing and animating.
Included muscle textures and normals in the avatar files. These can be applied to the avatars materials to gain a more muscular tone.
Added “Unlimited Params” component via VRCFury, this optimizes the parameters to allow room for more sliders. If you wish to run the avatar without vrcfury, you must disable some parameters or use the parameters template included in the unity package.
Introducing a special preset: Takeda Rena! This snow fox variant of Rena comes with her own unique textures for the full avatar, including Renas gloves and also uses unique mask textures for color adjustment sliders.

Improvements -

The color-adjust sliders have been expanded; you can alter the primary and secondary body colors as well as markings, eyes and chest fur. These color adjust sliders rely on masks to work, so if you're importing your own textures into the avatar please remove or replace these masks in the material properties.
The avatars outfit rigging has been improved across the board. Not all body shapes and sizes achieve a perfect result due to the many variables involved in conforming the outfits to the main body mesh, but everything should sit correctly for most forms of motion.
Hand gestures and animations should now be much cleaner and match up with gloves and other outfits, this isn't a perfect improvement but it's a step in the right direction.
The physbone settings of the avatar all around have been tweaked to provide a better experience.
Each avatar preset now comes with its own color themes, adjusting the colors via sliders will produce different results.
Updated the installation guide to properly reflect all the changes added to version 1.1.
When equipping certain outfit parts, the physics settings on the breasts will be altered to prevent unusual bounciness when moving, but is still interactable..
Preset 2 has been renamed to “Alternate”.
Preset 3 has been renamed to “Takeda”.
Various blendshapes have been polished to provide the intended visual effect.
Many animation files have been remade or replaced, these new animation files are categorised under the folder named “V1.1 Animations” under the animations folder.
Multiple mesh optimizations and improvements have been made, such as better seams, interactions with shader data etc.
The paw rigging has been reworked from scratch to provide better visual foot mobility and to feel more natural overall.
The customization capabilities of the avatar are now very vast, so it is possible that some unintended combinations of blendshapes can create unusual results. Please bear in mind that, while I have tried to cover all kinds of body/face/clothing combinations, some still behave in unfitting ways.

Bug Fixes -

Separated the eye mesh from the main body to prevent the original color sliders from altering the eyes colors.
Engaged in a massive battle against clipping issues with outfits and slider combinations, so most clipping situations should be fixed but some may still remain when certain body options are combined.
Fixed gesture issues that prevented the model's face from returning to the idle state when triggering a finger gesture.
Reduced loading time of the model during upload and in-game.
Removed some redundant files.
Fixed unsightly normal mapping around the tail and eyes and replaced them with new normal maps as part of the V1.1 UV remake.
Reworked the finger bones movement to mitigate the amount of claw poking through the hand when executing a closed fist gesture.
Fixed the issue that was causing the feet paws to bend unnaturally from V1.
Fixed a few broken vertices in the original mesh.
Fixed a shading issue that caused warped lighting on certain body shapes.

Known Issues:

The shaders may create unintended lighting when reducing the size of the model's body to the minimum extreme.
Some clipping may occur on Renas gloves when shrinking the gloves size whilst using any of the muscular sliders/presets.
Some outfits may stretch when increasing the body’s size through slider/toggle stacking, which may also cause minor clipping.
Some users have reported animation controller issues with the Lunar ExVee avatar when uploading,most likely due to a strange interaction between VRCFury and avatar naming conventions. Whilst the same issues are not applicable with Rena, please report any issues found when using her to me @ lunareyes.business@gmail.co m

The avatar contains a very large variety of new blendshapes to choose from, many of which are not actively in use with the avatar in-game. If you wish to apply any of the blendshapes as the default, you may need to ensure that the blendshape is not being controlled by an animation layer in the fx controller.
Also remember to apply the same changes to the outfits if you are adjusting the blendshapes manually to ensure the outfits line up with the body.

That should cover just about everything I've added to V1.1. If you have downloaded this avatar and enjoyed your time with it, please get in touch and let me know about your experience. Being able to share in the experiences of everyone who has used my avatars has been a major draw of inspiration and fulfillment for me.

If you have any issues or bump into any technical difficulties when uploading the avatar, please feel free to get in touch and I will do my best to help you get the avatar running.

Please understand that I cannot afford time to answer general questions such as how to use Unity Editor so please consider looking up guides on how to use the specific software before coming to me as I would greatly appreciate it.

Thank you for reading through this update and enjoy your time running around as the golden vixen!
