Update — August 16

Sorry for the long silence between updates! We've been heads-down working on a big batch of fixes and improvements. Here's everything that landed in this update.

Unity / VRM Importer

Added support for complex accessory packages and modular pieces that fit directly onto the avatar's skeleton.
Advanced effects, color and hue controls, stencils, and facial rest poses are now preserved during import.
Improved physics for soft parts, including proper behavior on both sides of the body.

Clothing & Accessories

Clothing now properly follows the jiggle bones of the body wearing it.
Rigged accessories now stay correctly in place when avatars are posed.
Recalibrated mouse wind so it no longer causes unwanted swaying or deformation of the model.

Movement

Added a new sit/stand state, available directly from the action wheel.
Added a new tiredness state that can naturally transition into sitting down.
Improved carry dragging with smoother movement, progressive turning, and better hip inertia.
Your companion can now slightly overflow beyond the edges of the monitor.

Chat & Voice

You can now send images together with voice messages.
Improved chat reliability with HTTP fallback for large messages.
Improved handling of TTS failures.

Workshop & Library

Imported items can now be published directly to the Steam Workshop.
Accessories are now grouped according to their source file.
Local models now support generated descriptions, which can also be regenerated at any time.

Fixes

Fixed phantom login and startup issues across all platforms.
Unavailable VRoid models no longer appear as broken entries.
The voice search box no longer steals focus while typing.
Various fixes and improvements to menus, tooltips, and the animation wheel.

What's Next?

Many more improvements are already on the way, and we're working on the next batch right now.

Thanks for playing, testing the new features, and especially for keeping the bug reports coming. They help us make Aifu better with every update! 💙
