• Upgraded to Amplify 1.9 shaders in 3D and URP pipelines.
• Fixed some issues with hair shaders in 3D and URP.
• Updated Hair shaders and eye shaders.
• Added Hair Bake preview button.

v 1.3.7

• Backported function to mid release 2020.3 and 2021.1 SaveAssetIfDirty removed.
• GUIDFromAssetPath Unity 2019 fix for built-in pipeline.

CC/iC Unity Tools HDRP

v 1.3.6

• Runtime components Build fix.

CC/iC Unity Tools HDRP

v 1.3.5

• Fixes
  • Collider manager now remembers the currently selected collider.
  • Collider manager editor now has rotation adjustment sliders.
  • Animation Player is closed on entering Play mode.
  • Save and Recall physics settings now works correctly in Editor mode and remembers settings per character.

v 1.3.4

• Cloth physics added
  • Colliders generated from character JSON data.
  • Weightmaps used to generate cloth coefficients.
  • Runtime helper scripts to adjust colliders, weight maps and cloth settings in play mode for real time feedback.
  • Save and recall feature, so play mode changes can be retained (currently only one character's settings can be saved)
  • Optimized collider detection.
  • Collider margin adjust and weightmap based detection threshold settings.

v 1.3.3

• Updates / Additions:
  • Tessellation option added to build settings. (Currently HDRP12 Only)
  • Lighting presets added to preview scene, and lighting cycle button added to importer window. (All pipelines)
  • Lock retarget values toggle added. (To no longer reset on changing animation)
  • Animation Processor (Importer Window) now also extracts fully facial expression retargeted animations from FBX.
  • Animation Player and Retargeter can now work in any Editor scene. (Note: the character being animated will show at the origin of it's current parent)
  • Match camera to scene view button added to importer window.
• Shader / Material adjustments:
  • HDRP12 Tessellation shaders added.
  • HDRP hair 2-pass shadow clip fixes.
  • HDRP hair no longer uses flipped back lighting by default. (Less shadow artifacts and rim lighting works much better without it)
  • Hair shader smoothness and specular tweaks. (Should look more consistent between the 3 pipelines)
  • Adjustments to Eye and Eye occlusion colors and saturation to more accurately match the coloring in CC3/4.
  • Facial hair naterials are now generated with thinner opacity and less smoothness and specularity. (Should no longer look too thick and too shiny)
  • Compute bake shaders updated with shader changes.
• Fixes to:
  • Facial expression retargeter:
    • Now correctly maps based on the source facial profile as well as the target profile.
    • Includes all tongue blendshapes.
    • Correctly remaps compatible viseme profiles. (8+7 split visemes cannot be retargeted to the 15 direct visemes).
    • Button now color coded to the estimated quality of the retarget:
      • Green - should retarget completely.
      • Yellow - some BlendShapes will not restarget.
      • Red - most BlendShapes will not retarget.
    • A report of the retarget, listing how the BlendShapes are remapped and which could not be retarget is logged to the console.
  • Animation player and retargetter UI and internal logic, should be less glitchy.
  • No longer reprocesses the same textures when used by different materials during material build.
  • Character prefab no longer gets stuck in current Animation Player pose after recompiling editor assembly.
  • Numerous fixes to internal workings and code refactors.
