Current release

For detailed instructions on the Export/Import and Apply Current Style features, see the Customization guide.

  • v110 🔥 HOTFIX — 1/20/26 — Redeliver if your v110 box does not contain these updates:
    • Device
      • ✔️ Size (R) looking significantly longer when motion animations play.
      • ✔️ Motion animation seemingly stopping in the middle from time to time.
    • Appliers:
      • ✔️ Fix ‘Remove’ action not fully removing Specular, Normal and other parameters.
        • / ready script containing this fix has a bumped up version number as v110.1.
        • All the appliers got their scripts updated: / core v110 and / dev v110. Confirm you have the latest versions in your box, otherwise redeliver.
      • ✔️ Add a reminder to modify ‘Alpha’ when applying PBR materials right into the applier’s popup menu.
    • AVSitter Plugin:
      • ✔️ Restore AVSitter Plugin’s / dump script to the box that was self-deleting itself mistakenly.
  • v110 Original Release — 1/16/26 🔖
    • Device
      • ✔️ Fix blurriness of textures when switching foreskin modes after some time has passed.
      • Animations
        • ✔️ Provide two distinct different shape modes: default & more curved (activated by the “curve toggle” HUD button).

          Now horizontal angle adjustments do not change the shape to curved initially, providing more control.

        • ✔️ Rework all static core animations responsible for the shape to achieve a consistent look between the sizes.
        • ✔️ Remove breathing from the static core animations until dedicated breathing animations are added and HUD control provided.
        • ✔️ Make (R) size shaped more delicately.
        • ✔️ Improve the speed of activating animations that define the shape while allowing much more to exist.
        • ✔️ Expand forward balls vertical position range (use case: hanging upside down).
      • Appliers
        • ✔️ Fix inability to partially change fluid’s alpha or tint until texture is applied first.
    • Play HUD
      • ✔️ Add control for choosing the curved mode (“curve toggle”).
      • ✔️ Improve the look of the HUD interface and the buttons, making them easier to distinguish, while maintaining the same layout and style.
      • ✔️ Brush up the tips screen.
      • ✔️ Expand forward balls vertical position range twice by enlarging the UI slider (use case: hanging upside down).
    • Customization HUD
      • ✔️ Fix the communication script crashing because of about twice more settings needed after adding fluids customization (this was a showstopper bug that prevented unlocking of the Fluids tab in the Customization HUD).
      • ✔️ Improve the speed of sensing when Obsidian is put on or detached.
    • Customization HUD Web App — changes go live immediately:
      • ✔️ Fix tinting not applying properly for Tattoos, FX and Blender1 layers when using PBR.
      • ✔️ Make new collection of fluid textures available to end users as soon as they upgrade to v110.
      • ✔️ Reposition the ‘Close’ button in the initial Click-to-Play interaction Tip away from the ‘Environment’ dial to prevent the mysterious accidental setting changes (apparently due to double-clicking the ‘Close’ button).
    • API
      • ✔️ Add a new parameter c (“curve toggle”) to choose the curved mode for core animations.
      • ✔️ Extend the range of the v_b parameter (balls vertical angle) to 0.3-1 for expanded vertical angles of the balls.
    • AVsitter Plugin v110
      • ✔️ Allow to toggle .face and .hands suffix animations via [ADJUST] command.
      • ✔️ Play all neutral_-prefixed animations when avatar sits or swaps.
      • ✔️ Play syncreset animation before automatic syncing.
      • ✔️ Add / dump script to replace [DUMP ALL] dialog command.

Previous releases

  • v109 Release — 12/20/25

    • Device:
      • ✔️ Make new throbbing animations. They are more realistic and also do not move the Tail 6 bone (that is responsible for the thickness th). This ensures that attachments on Tail Tip do not move when throbbing occurs.
      • ✔️ Upload upgraded z_b core animations that would fix balls deformations coming from furniture animations of some brands.
      • ✔️ More realistic pee particle.
      • ✔️ Ability to provide your own textures to all fluids, both particles and mesh, by means of the Fluids Appliers.
    • Customization HUD:
      • ✔️ The UI is now initially bigger and easier to read.
      • ✔️ The ‘Remove’ action now properly removes Specular and Normal maps.

      • ✔️ Fix translation of LEGACY API stage of hardness for the stage 0 (flaccid).
      • ✔️ Fix recognition of LEGACY API command when it included foreskin mode.

        We are not actually changing foreskin mode via LEGACY API, but the command should succeed if included.

      • ✔️ Fix recognition of LEGACY API command when it included on instead of set.

        We are not actually changing visibility via LEGACY API, but the command should succeed if included.

    • AVsitter Plugin:

    • ✔️ Fix (R) size animation causing distortion.
