Author: Adina_Animaze,

Hello animazing community,
We've updated the Animaze ChatPal animation infrastructure to support emotion-specific body language animations. An initial set, to give you a taste, is already provided on the mannequin but we encourage you to build bespoke crafted versions, specific to your character.
[h3]Desktop Changelog[/h3]
[list]
[*] changes to Animaze ChatPal:
[list]
[*] added over 90 emotion-specific idle and talking animations.
[*] fixed inworld timeout issue (after 30 minutes interacting with the AI would trigger a reconnect to inworld invalidating the current context).
[/list]
[*] added PerfectSync for VRM 1.0 animation standard called PerfectSync_1_1. By default, an imported VRM 1.0 model which has more than half of the ARKit blendshapes would be automatically promoted to PerfectSync, but that does not cover having a very reduced set of the ARKit blendshapes and still wanting PerfectSync. The Animation Standard can only be changed in the Animaze Editor.
[*] increased range for Clip Mask size slider for Live2D models.
[*] fixed peculiar interaction between dedicated special actions and generalized idle anims, returning to default mannequin idle even if not selected.
[/list]
[h3]Editor Changelog[/h3]
[list]
[*] added PerfectSync for VRM 1.0 animation standard called PerfectSync_1_1. By default, an imported VRM 1.0 model which has more than half of the ARKit blendshapes would be automatically promoted to PerfectSync, but that does not cover having a very reduced set of the ARKit blendshapes and still wanting PerfectSync.
[*] fixed issue changing Animation Standard and the Mannequin Animation retargeting not resetting.
[/list]
[h3]Known issues[/h3]
[list]
[*] the switch between generic Mannequin and Mixamo animations is snappy.
[*] VRM & RPM avatar imported with 1.26.12519 build will have a reduced set of ChatPal emotion-specific animations. The workaround is to delete the avatar and reimport it.
