This update to the Pro shader contains some new features (including a new Particle shader!) and some new UI improvements. You can download it now from pro.poiyomi.com by logging in via your Patreon account.

There may be bugs in this build as a lot of things were changed behind the scenes. Please test it out!

Added​

• Added a new Particle Shader that spawns from the surface of the mesh.
  • Two Pass and One Pass versions are available.
• Two Pass now supports Global Masking per pass.
• _UdonForceSceneLighting has been implemented to allow Worlds to turn off Avatar light limitations, as recommended by lilxyzw.

Changes​

• New curve editor in the Shader UI.
• Some vectors can be linked similar to how the Transform scale works in the Unity Inspector.

Coming Soon​

• Presets for the Particle shader.
• Presets for the Two Pass shader.
• Scaling float that can be animated so particles scale properly.

This update contains some important improvements and a critical bug fix for Pathing. The Toon version is now available in the VCC Repository, GitHub, and on BOOTH.

Changes & Fixes​

• Improved Light Volumes stuttering on Avatar Load.
  • For the technical people, the LightVolumes.cginc was refactored as per PR #64 .
• Fixed an issue with History AudioLink in Pathing not functioning correctly at all.
• Fixed a divide by 0 issue in Truchet tiling.
• Tagged Material Properties such as A, RA, and P are now easier to see in the Unity Light Theme.
• Notes are now easier to read in the Unity Light Theme.
• Updated the Auto Lock Dialogue to be more brief and friendly.
• Anchor Override Fix: The default Human Bone Anchor is now the Chest instead of the Spine to keep consistency with other tools. This will only affect new Projects.

• The sRGB Color Space Warning sounds more English now.

Thry Editor​

• Added toonstandard and toonstandardoutline as VRC Fallback Shader options. See the VRChat Documentation for more details on the behavior of these new Fallback Tags.
  • Be aware that only Opaque is supported. Transparent or Cutout may not work!

Changes​

Fixes​

• Fixed issues with the shader breaking Fog.
  • It's still faster compilation time, but just a little bit slower now.

  • Times should still be really improved, but let me know your results in the Discord.
• Thry Editor: Fixed a critical error with Presets messing up settings.
