[b]Hello everyone! We have updated to Ver. 1.7! [/b] [h3]This time, a toon shader, blend shapes, and the ability to add consumption statuses! [/h3] [previewyoutube=j5wsTZcMoaU;full][/previewyoutube] The [b]toon shader[/b] can be applied to materials in the FBX model and parameters can be set to give the object a cartoon style appearance. It is now possible to adjust various parameters as well as specify outlines. [b]Blend shapes (morphing)[/b] can be created by combining keys in a model to create "clips," which can then be called from events. This function is mainly utilized to animate the facial expressions of 3D models. Conversation event-related functions have also been enhanced, making it easier to use 3D models as standing pictures for conversations. Moreover, the [b]consumption statuses[/b], like "HP", can now be freely created to have a maximum value and a current value. For example, "Create different statuses from MP to use for "magic" and "skills," "Set stamina consumption for battle commands for each character," and so on. You can use them in various ways, depending on your ingenuity.　 [b]This is the last major update for 2023 with various other added features. [/b] [b]Please check out the details of the update. [/b] [hr][/hr] [h2] --- New and Improved Features --- [/h2] [h3][Toon Shader & Outlines] [/h3] - Added "toon shader" and "outline settings" to the Resources>Materials properties.
