Hello animazing folks,

We appreciate the feedback we received from YOU, our community.
So we've updated Animaze with a few tweaks and fixes.
Check them out here:

• fixed issue with generic idles which disabled head and body tracking (fixed for VRM and RPM avatars only)
  
• added in-app additional info and visual cues (including usage tips and quirks) for owners of Animaze Plus/Pro DLCs
  
• Animaze Rooms improvements:
  
  • fixed issue with iPhone Tracker (ARKit) Direct Expression Mapping that applied on all joining avatars
    
  • added option to use local client Overrides on all joining avatars (Profile > Rooms Profile Options > Use local Overrides on joining Avatars). This enables local user to make all joining avatars look at the current render camera and other effects.
    
  • camera positioning will not reset when a new avatar joins the room if the avatar or camera have been moved.
    
  • other placement tweaks.
    
  
  
• added two new options to Axis Perception Neuron retargeting
  
  • fixed hip bone - avatar doesn’t move around the scene, stays in a fixed position
    
  • upper body only - Axis is retargeted only on the upper part of the avatar, the lower part will display the current idle.
    
  
  
• fixed an issue with retexturing using an image file with the a name that is already used
  
• fixed shadows rendering issues on skin-like surfaces
  
• added camera FOV controls. FOV value is also saved in Quickscenes.

Greetings and Happy New Year!

We’ve prepared a nice small January Update with a few goodies to help you with vtubing at the start of this year:

• we’ve added Sony Mocopi full body tracking that works out of the box with humanoid Animaze originals (including Personas), VRM and ReadyPlayerMe models.
  
• we’ve added a Broadcast to Spout2 function on the three-dots menu of the Enable Virtual Camera, you don’t need to use the Dedicated Capture Window anymore just to use the Spout2 function.
  
• we’ve removed the Shop from the Voice Effects gallery, which effectively removes the Voice Skins Alisha and Daniel from sale. Users that have already purchased the Voice Skins will be able to use them without restrictions.
  
• we’ve added the one-time-payment option to the Upgrade Menu.
  
• various fixes and improvements, including the issue with saving and loading forced symmetry options (the ones from Overrides tab).
  
• we’ve updated the Animaze Editor to the latest engine code, getting a cumulative 3 months worth of improvements and minor bug fixes.
