HoyoToon 4.0.0

DO NOT INSTALL THIS THROUGH THE UPDATER

FULLY REMOVE AND DOWNLOAD FROM GITHUB

Previous version of HoyoToon has to be completely removed before installing the new version.

• Completely remove the HoyoToon Folder. (Assets > Hoyoverse > HoyoToon)

• HoyoToon is now a package and can be installed via the following ways:

  • (Unity Package) You can download the package from the Releases page and import it into your project.
  • (VRChat Creator Companion) You can install the package via the VPM listing https://melioli.github.io/vpm/ and Press Add to VCC.
  • (UPM) Open the Package Manager (Window > Package Manager) and click on the + button on the top left corner and select Add package from git URL... and paste the following URL: https://github.com/Melioli/HoyoToon.git

• From now on the Updater will properly handle the updates and will not require manual intervention. Regardless of which installation method you've chose the built-in updater will handle the updates.

• The Pre-Package version of HoyoToon will not be supported anymore. Please make sure to remove the Pre-Package version before installing the new version.

• If you have the VRChat SDK installed the updater will utilize VPM/VRChat Package Resolver to update the shader. If you don't have the SDK installed the updater will utilize the built in Updater to update the shader.
  Outside of Unity you can update the shader using the VRChat Creator Companion.

• All Older releases will be removed from the releases page.

• Materials will now properly overwrite existing materials if generated again.
• Generated Tangent meshes will now be overwritten if they already exist upon generation. (They will currently not allow you to update your mesh and just regenerate the tangents)
• Materials will now generated 1 by 1 instead of all at once. This will allow for better error handling and ensure that the materials are generated properly. (Generation is still the same speed)
• For the sake of future updating and whenever a new material, shader or some kind of missing detection system is added, we wouldn't want the user to have to download a whole package for a small hotfix, we've moved all hardcoded related checks or logic to an API. This will allow us to update the API without having to update the package itself. This will require an internet connection to download the json data from the API. This data will be stored locally in case the user doesn't have an internet connection.
