0.12.0 Update

11 Jan

Body Rotation: Natural body rotation is now built into all face trackers! By default, Warudo uses "Inverted" body rotation which is similar to Live2D models; you can also set body rotation type to "Normal", which rotates your body proportional to your head rotation.
- If you would like to disable this, simply go to your face tracker and set "Body Rotation Type" to None.
Secondary Pose Tracking: You can now set up MediaPipe/Leap Motion/StretchSense as secondary pose tracking in the onboarding assistant! This allows you to easily combine full-body tracking with finger tracking.
BlendShape Sensitivity: You can now adjust global blendshape sensitivity in all face trackers.
Fix Window Size: You can now fix the window size in Menu -> Settings so that you don't accidentally drag the window borders during a stream!
Lip Sync: Added a volume threshold option so that lip sync is only triggered when you are talking; also no more delays / desynchronization!
iFacialMocap/MediaPipe now has proper "Is Tracked" status
Better error handling when loading a VRM 1.0 model
Blueprint related:
- Added "Is Face Tracked" output to the Get MediaPipe Tracking Data node
- Set Asset Transform / Position / Rotation nodes now have tweening support as well as a world/local option
- All nodes with a "Transition Time" data input now have a "On Transition End" flow output
Issues fixed:
- Lip sync requires constantly restarting the microphone
- Interaction nodes (Throw Prop, Launch Liquid, etc.) does not use world position of source asset
- Camera bounces when switching virtual camera in the director
- VRM BlendShapeClip "Is Binary" flag is not read when importing VRM expressions
- GIF stickers spawned from Spawn Sticker nodes do not loop

0.11.3 Update

24 Nov, 2023

Contact system! The new "On Contact" node allows you to detect when a character or prop is in contact with another character or prop, and trigger events accordingly! We will release plenty of blueprint examples in the coming days.
Expression conditions! You can now specify "Trigger Conditions" on character expressions, which allows you to automatically trigger expressions based on blendshape values. For example, you can now automatically trigger a "Joy" expression when the "mouthSmileLeft" and "mouthSmileRight" blendshapes are both above 0.5. Tutorials coming soon!
New nodes & options:
- "Throttle Flow" and "Debounce Flow" nodes that allow you to throttle or debounce blueprint flows. The "Throttle Flow" node will only allow a flow to pass through every X seconds, while the "Debounce Flow" node will only allow a flow to pass through after X seconds of inactivity.
- "Is Character Expression Active" node that allows you to check whether a character expression is currently active.
- "String Regex" node that allows you to perform regular expression matching on strings, with captured groups as data outputs.
- "Throw Prop At Character" node now has a "Collision Position" data output.
- Experimental: "Detect Character Hand Gesture" node that detects hand gestures. Note that this node is currently model and tracking specific, and most likely will only work well for Leap Motion or more accurate hand tracking.
Experimental Xbox controller support! You can now use a Xbox controller to control the camera. The controls are as below:
- Orbit Camera: Left stick to orbit, right stick to pan, LT/RT to zoom
- Free Look Camera: Left stick to move forward/backward/left/right, right stick to rotate, LT/RT to move up/down
- Press the menu button to toggle between orbit camera and free look camera
- Controller settings are available in Menu -> Settings -> Controls
Lights: Added "Bias" and "Normal Bias" options for shadows
Issues fixed:
- Leap Motion hand tracking is incorrect when character does not have full finger bones
- "Set Character BlendShape" node transition duration is not applied correctly
- When importing a VRM model, the "Neutral" expression is not imported correctly
- Editor disconnects connections when a node updates its ports
- Ragdoll colliders are not displayed correctly when ragdoll is disabled

0.11.1 Update

6 Nov, 2023

Winds! You can now add "Wind (VRM)" and "Wind (Magica Cloth)" assets to add wind effects to your characters with VRM spring bones or Magica Cloth components!
MediaPipe & Leap Motion hand tracking now look much better! No more weird twisting.
New nodes: "Asset Reference", "Find Asset By Name", "Find Asset By Type" to reference/find a scene asset in blueprints.
New nodes: "Object Is Null", "Object Is Not Null" to check if an object is null for advanced users.
Xsens tracker now explicitly reports model incompatibility with Xsens Unity plugin
Screen browser audio is now disabled when screen is disabled
Issues fixed:
- Export blueprint as file always yields an empty file
- Leap Motion tracking is incorrect when character is not at origin
- MotionBuilder tracking is incorrect when character is not at origin
- "Generate Head Idle Animation" does not rotate head
- "Set Asset Transform" node does not work on cameras
- Startup freeze when VDRAW is installed

Optimized overall CPU usage! Characters and Director Mode (Pro only) should now utilize considerably less CPU.
📈 Node editing overhaul! with multi-node selection, better hover areas for ports, and improved pasting at cursor position.
🖥️ Screen memory based on titles, similar to OBS functionality.
🎌 Japanese localization added! こんにちは！

Improvements & Additions

You can now selectively toggle rendering of characters/props/environment in camera settings
You can now turn off gravity for props thrown by the "Throw Prop At Character" node

0.10.11 Update

3 Aug, 2023

🆙 OPTIMIZATIONS! Warudo now runs faster.
- We measured a 30% FPS increase (198 FPS -> 256 FPS) for a typical setup (iFacialMocap + MediaPipe)!
👏 Hands tracked by MediaPipe no longer follow your body around by default.
- That generally means the whereabouts of your character's hands will be closer to what you expect, but if you don't like it, you can set "Hands Follow Body Movement" to 1 in settings.
Finally - Warudo now asks you if you want to save your scene first upon closing Warudo 💯
Warudo now no longer tries to duplicate your webcam unless absolutely necessary.
- This should fix a ton of "Camera is not valid" / "My webcam tracking is not working at all" issues
"Throw Prop At Character" node now comes with randomized launch rotation and an initial torque (angular velocity), and an option to despawn the prop on impact
Props/Anchors can now attach to another prop's child transform
MediaPipe now runs on GPU by default

📊 Blueprint stuff:

List variables & operations! Now you can save lists as blueprint variables, and operate on lists:
- Including `Get`, `Set`, `Add`, `Contains`, `IndexOf`, `LastIndexOf`, `Length`, `Remove`, `RemoveIndex`, `Resize`, `Slice` and `Insert`
You can now specify an initial delay and an interval for the "For Loop" node
Vector3 is now a supported blueprint variable type
Other new nodes:
- "Integer Modulo"
- "Quaternion Multiply Vector3"

Other fixed issues:

"Set Camera Field Of View" node does not work if camera control mode set to None
Camera orthographic parameters and near/far plane parameters do not work if camera control mode set to None

BREAKING CHANGES

If you are using the "Float Pendulum Physics" node to implement Live2D eye wiggles, please note that blendshapes are now clamped between 0-1 by default on the "Set Character Tracking BlendShapes" node (you can usually find it on the right of the face tracking blueprint). You need to either set "Clamp All BlendShapes" to No or add the eye wiggling blendshapes (i.e. eye highlight movements, etc.) to the "Unclamped BlendShapes" list.
"String Slice" node now uses 0-based indexing

Added arm swivel offset option to MediaPipe which can make your arms look more natural during hand tracking
Added an "Hybrid Mode" option when setting up lip sync that allows you to combine tracking with audio-based lip sync
Fixed normal maps not rendering for the standard shader

16 Jul, 2023

New settings "Linked eye blink tracking", "head rotation intensity", "maximal head rotation", and "average eye rotations" are now available in all face trackers!
Lip sync now supports binarization mode, which disables transitions between mouth blendshapes and only uses the max-value blendshape! You can enable this on the "Generate Lip Sync Animation" node
New "Play Sound" node to play sound effects! Support for custom sound files coming soon.
Added "On Collide" flow exit on "Throw Prop At Character" node
New nodes "Get Bone Rotation", "Get Bone Scale", and "Set Bone Scale" for manipulating character bones!
