Update Note

Features

  • Added a "Rotation Type" feature to change the direction of avatar body rotation.

Improvements

  • Improved body movements that looked stiff to look smoother.
  • Improved the smoothing range to make the difference in values more visible.
      • 📢
      The new smoothing values may cause existing users' movements to slow down slightly. Please reset to the default values or reconfigure the settings.

Improvements

  • Improved eye tracking by increasing the sensitivity value for eye movements.
  • Improved an issue with eyelid twitching.
 

Bug fixed

  • Fixed an issue where increasing the mouth sensitivity value would cause the mouth to tear beyond the intended range.
 

Update Note

Bug fixed

  • Fixed an issue where avatar expressions (blendshapes) were not being applied when using iFacialMocap.

Update Note

Feature🔥

  • Combine Expressions 🔗
    • Combine expressions is a feature that allows you to combine multiple expressions into a single expression that you can turn on and off at once. This saves you the hassle of activating each expression one by one, allowing you to react quickly to different situations. For example, you can combine the hair and clothing BlendShape into a single new BlendShape.
        • notion image
        The order of combining expressions is as follows :
        1. Select 2 or more expressions that you want to combine.
        1. Make sure the combined expressions look natural in the preview on the right.
        1. Click the Save button.
 

Improvements

  • Improved the left panel UI.
 

Update Note

Bug fixed

  • Fixed an issue where the program would turn off with an error when the ‘Tracking ON' button was pressed.

  • Support for VSF avatar custom facial expressions.
    • Custom facial expressions are available for VSF avatars that were previously only available for upload.
 
 

Update Note

Improvement

Launcher

• Issue fixed where AvaKit launcher does not automatically update
• Issue fixed where the launcher would run only when the launcher is run as an administrator
• Issue fixed where the launcher is simultaneously turned off when AvaKit is turned off.
• Issue fixed where AvaKit does not response at all when the launcher is running at the system tray

• You can now send in-game user report without visiting the AvaKit web page.
 

Conversion as a paid version

Conversion as a paid version

First of all, thanks again for all of AvaKit users for using AvaKit.
From 30th April, 2024 AvaKit will be converted as a paid version. This decision is for developing more awesome features in AvaKit and improving entire services in AvaKit. After the conversion, we’ll do our best to provide the best services for all of you.
You can get a one-month free trial for the new AvaKit. During the trial period, you can use entire wonderful features that are newly developed based on several tests with various VTubers.
 
We look forward to your consistent interest and support for our service, and we will do our best to reward you with better features and services.
 
Thank you.
 
AvaKit dev team.

Update Note

Improvement

Overall user interface is improved so that VTubers can use AvaKit more easily and comfortably.
• More intuitive tracking start button: The issue that the tracking start button was less visible is improved.
• More comfortable panel usage: All relevant values in each panel is now accessible at once, so that it can minimize the unnecessary navigation.
• Improved webcam configuration accessibility: User interface is improved to make device settings for accessible.
• More comfortable prop manipulation: You can now manipulate the X, Y, Z values of the prop, not the distance.
 
Also, several miscellaneous improvements were implemented on this update.
 

Update Note

Following bugs can be resolved after the update.
• The iris of some avatar models disappeared when the specific prop is fixed to the model.
• Some parts of the costume texture disappeared when the model was imported.
