Release History

[1.14.1] - [2025-09-15]​

Fixed​

  • [#1761] Certain generic avatars failed to upload

[1.14.0] - [2025-09-13]​

Added​

  • [#1667] Implement Mesh Cutter - a component which can be used to delete or toggle portions of a mesh.
    • Implement vertex filters By Bone, By Blendshape, By Axisand (#1651)By Mask`
  • [#1697] Exposed ModularAvatarMergeArmature.GetBonesMapping API
  • [#1601] Add warning when using MA MMD Layer Control with layers that have WriteDefaults OFF states

Fixed​

  • [#1675] MMD Layer Control did not work to opt-in a layer when that layer became layer #0
  • [#1670] Fixed an issue where generated meshes might not be registered in ObjectRegistry in some cases
  • [#1704] An exception could occur when deleting vertices in a mesh with a 16-bit index format
  • [#1713] Fixed an issue where certain meshes might be incorrectly processed by Shape Changer's delete mode
  • [#1715] Fixed an issue where Shape Changer or Mesh Cutter could incorrectly delete all vertex color data in a mesh
  • [#1719] Scale Adjuster did not update positions of child objects when editing directly using the inspector fields
  • [#1726] Parameter drivers did not work properly when parameter types were adjusted after merging animators
  • [#1728] Menu Items that did not have a reactive component attached to their game object, but did have a child object with a reactive component, would not function properly.
  • [#1732] Static (always-on) reactive components would have had lower priority than the FX animator
  • [#1750] Modular Avatar would generate too many Head Chop components in some cases, breaking the build

Changed​

  • [#1705] Reactive Component initial states are now applied on non-VRChat platforms
  • [#1729] Shape Changer components in Set mode will now override prior Delete mode settings. This reverses an accidental breaking change in 1.13.x.
  • [#1732] In previous versions of Modular Avatar, static (always-on) reactive components would have had lower priority than the FX animator. This was a bug and has been fixed in this version; however, it's possible that this fix might cause some existing gimmicks to have different behavior.

[1.13.4] - [2025-08-15]​

Fixed​

  • [#1682] Fixed a potential NullReferenceException when operating ModularAvatarMenuItem. (Fix provided by @Tliks)
  • [#1683] Fixed an issue where renderers with a root bone under the head might end up with incorrect mesh bounds. (Fix provided by @ReinaS-64892)

[1.13.3] - [2025-08-14]​

Fixed​

  • [#1679] Fix issues where meshes with a root bone under the head could be invisible in first person, when affected by a MA Shape Changer in delete mode.

[1.13.2] - [2025-08-09]​

Fixed​

  • [#1671] Shape changer could cause VRChat crashes in certain worlds

[1.13.1] - [2025-08-02]​

Fixed​

  • [#1653] Scene is always updated by Blendshape Sync
  • [#1660] Deleted shapes were not applied when animations are blocked by VRChat safety settings.

[1.13.0] - [2025-07-12]​

Note: This release contains new, portable APIs in ModularAvatarMenuItem to allow (in the future) menu items to be used in other platforms than VRChat. Plugins which generate menu items should be updated to use the new APIs; the old APIs will be deprecated in a future release, and removed in a future 2.0 release.

Added​

  • (Experimental feature) Enabled support for non-VRC platforms
  • [#1594] Display the exceeded parameter count in the MA Information
  • [#1604] Implement MA Material Swap
  • [#1623] Implement MA Platform Filter
  • [#1610] Added threshold setting to Shape Changer
  • [#1629] Report a nonfatal error when an animator being merged has a broken layer (missing state machine)
  • [#1635] Added ModularAvatarMenuItem APIs to allow menu items components to be created without a dependency on VRCSDK.
  • [#1596] Added MA Rename Collision Tags component
    • This allows renaming of collision tags (Contacts) to unique names, similar to the auto-rename feature in MA Parameters

Fixed​

  • [#1587] The Mesh Settings gizmo was not shown when in SetOrInherit mode
  • [#1589] A KeyNotFoundException could occur when the target of a Merge Animator or Merge Motion component was null
  • [#1605] Fixed an issue where the preview differed from the build result when multiple Material Setters conflicted
  • [#1632] Blendshape Sync would not work in the editor when on a disabled object
  • [#1633] Blendshape Sync would not be properly applied to the initial state of the avatar on build
  • [#1634] Fixed compile errors when VRCSDK is not present in the project

Changed​

  • [#1608] [#1610] Shape Changer will now delete shapekeys fully, even if animated
  • [#1636] In Match Write Defaults mode, Merge Animator will no longer force layers to be write defaults ON when they contain only blend trees, if none of those blend trees are Direct Blend Trees.

[1.12.5] - [2025-04-14]​

Fixed​

  • [#1555] Fixed compatibility regression from 1.11.x: VRC Animator Play Audio, when configured with an absolute path but merged with a relative-path merge animator component, will now detect that the indicated object does not exist, and treat the reference as an absolute path.
    • Note that if there is an object in the target path, then it will be treated as a relative path. Using addressing for Play Audio behaviors consistent with Merge Animator settings is therefore recommended as it will be more robust.
  • [#1558] Fixed an issue where Merge Animators animating transforms in the base avatar's armature would break.
  • Update NDMF dependency
    • Fixed an issue where duplicate layer entries in the VRChat Avatar Descriptor would cause all animator contents to be ignored.
    • Fixed a benign NullReferenceException at initialization
    • Fixed a NullReferenceException in AnimationIndex
    • Fixed an issue where animation curve paths being rewritten multiple times might be deleted

[1.12.4] - [2025-04-10]​

Fixed​

  • [#1552] Merge Blend Tree failed to correct parameter types when the main avatar FX layer contained an int or bool parameter with the same name as one used in the blend tree.
  • [#1553] Reactive components might generate states with incorrect write default settings

Changed​

  • [#1551] Merge Animator will always set WD ON for single-state blendtree layers with no any state transitions.
    • This fixes compatibility issues with assets which relied on the prior behavior.

[1.12.3] - [2025-04-05]​

Fixed​

  • Fixed issues with additive layers (via NDMF version upgrade)

Changed​

  • [#1542] Merge Animator now will match WD settings for layers with a single state containing an animation clip, but not if it contains a blend tree. This fixes some compatibility issues introduced in 1.12 (where the behavior was changed to not match WD settings for single-state animation clips).
  • [#1551] Merge Animator will always set WD ON for single-state blendtree layers with no any state transitions.

[1.12.2] - [2025-04-03]​

Fixed​

  • [#1537] Curves which animated animator parameters, when added using a Merge Motion component, would not be updated by Rename Parameters

[1.12.1] - [2025-04-02]​

Fixed​

  • [#1532] Modular Avatar has compiler errors in a newly created project

[1.12.0] - [2025-04-01]​

Added​

Fixed​

  • [#1460] When importing parameter assets in MA Parameters, "local only" parameters were incorrectly treated as "animator only"
  • [#1489] Fixed compatibility issues between Merge Blend Tree or reactive components and MMD worlds.
    • See documentation for details on the new handling.
    • To disable this behavior, attach the new MA VRChat Settings component to any object on your avatar and disable the appropriate setting.
  • [#1501] Unity keyboard shortcuts don't work when editing text fields on the MA Parameters component
  • [#1410] Motion overrides on synced layers are not updated for Bone Proxy/Merge Armature object movement
  • [#1504] The internal DelayDisable layer no longer references unnecessary objects in some situations
    • This helps improve compatibility with AAO and other tools that track whether objects are animated
  • [#1508] Fix an issue where automatic compression of expressions menu icons would fail when the texture dimensions were not divisible by four.
  • [#1513] Expression menu icon compression broke on iOS builds

Changed​

  • [#1529] MA Parameters auto-rename and MA Menu Item's automatic parameter feature now assign names based on the path of the object. This should improve compatibility with MA Sync Parameter Sequence
    • If you are using MA Sync Parameter Sequence, it's a good idea to empty your SyncedParams asset and reupload all platforms after updating to this version.
  • [#1514] Merge Blend Tree is now Merge Motion (Blend Tree) and supports merging animation clips as well as blend trees
  • [#1476] Switch ModularAvatarMergeAnimator and ModularAvatarMergeParameter to use new NDMF APIs (IVirtualizeMotion and IVirtualizeAnimatorController)
  • [#1483] The Merge Animator "Match Avatar Write Defaults" option will no longer adjust write defaults on states in additive layers, or layers with only one state and no transitions.
  • [#1429] Merge Armature will now allow you to merge humanoid bones with PhysBones attached in certain cases.
    • Specifically, child humanoid bones (if there are any) must be excluded from all attached Physbones.
  • [#1437] Create Toggle for Selection now creates submenus as necessary when multiple items are selected, and creates toggles as children.
  • [#1499] When an audio source is controlled by an Object Toggle, disable the audio source when animations are blocked to avoid it unintentionally being constantly active.
  • [#1502] World Fixed Object now uses VRCParentConstraint and is therefore compatible with Android builds
