Avastar-1.3 is Out. This release does not provide any major new features like the last releases did. It just fixes a few smaller issues and adds a bit here and there. So you might not even notice an immediate difference, except in the Bone Weight Copy area. There we have fixed a bug that prevented a mirror weight copy from opposite bones when the mesh was exactly symmetric. Now exact symmetric meshes can be mirror weight copied again.

The Avastar-1.3 maintenance update contains 2 major changes:

  • We added a switch between vertex mirror weight copy and topology mirror weight copy, see the Bone Weight Copy help page.
    weight_copy_06
  • We added some hooks for future integrations of other Addons with Avastar.
