Tons of new content: male figures, dozens of new Skin and Blend Shape addons
Improved Blend Shape (morph) support: pose, expression, formula, eyelashes, & genitals
Release of VaM2 Addon Kit Beta to Creator tier (see separate post)
Note: This beta and the VaM2 Addon Kit release is mainly targeted towards creators interested in making looks using morphs, textures, shaders, and materials.
This is the 1st release of the VaM2 Addon Kit, exclusive to our Patreon Creator tier backers. This Addon Kit is a Unity project that can be used to make addon content for VaM2. We use a development version of the Addon Kit ourselves to create all of the content you see in VaM2. This 1st release provides just some of the capabilities our internal developer kit allows, but over time, as we improve the usability of features, we will release updates to the Addon Kit to unlock the full power.

Additional tweak to fix plugins (many from creator PluginIdea) that were still broken with security patch
Please update immediately to the 1.22.0.6 security patch. A security hole with the plugin system was reported to us earlier this week by community member @TBD.

The 1.22.0.6 patch addresses this security hole. We highly recommend everyone upda...

The VaM2 Addon Kit and Character Model System provides powerful tools to simplify and accelerate the time it takes to import and create character models in Unity for use in VaM2. Here are some of the highlights:

The VaM2 Addon Kit is the primary way to add new content to VaM2 and it is what we also use internally to create all the assets within VaM2, including the character models. The Addon Kit will be very powerful and allow many things that were impossible or difficult to do in VaM1. An example of just one possibility out of endless possibilitie...
