Hi everyone,
v1.8.3 has been released:
Updated Animations
The animation system has been expanded and reorganized with additional conversational gestures, reactions, thinking animations, idle animations, and other various animations and tweaks.
Animation selection and timing have been improved to provide greater variety and reduce repeated gestures and erratic movements. Animations now progress more naturally through their starting, looping, and ending stages before transitioning to the next state.
CielChan will now look towards you when speaking despite the position of your mouse cursor and then return back to tracking your mouse once done.
Blending and transition timing have been improved across dialogue, thinking, idle, emote, and movement animations.
Avatar gaze handling has been refined to prevent certain animation states from briefly pulling the character’s head away from the cursor before snapping back.
Added blinking to compatible VRM models including the default CielChan VRM model.
Various Small Bug Fixes
Fixed an issue that could cause the Change Voice panel to appear automatically when opening Settings after selecting a voice through the new quick Voice menu.
Fixed an issue that could incorrectly display the speech-to-text restart warning after changing languages when restarting speech recognition was not necessary.
Fixed a regression introduced in v1.8.2 that could cause the Observation route to occasionally capture an image of a black screen when the user was viewing their desktop, specifically while no other applications were open or used recently.
Fixed an issue in the Custom Character Creator when saving your creation, it could in some cases save and use a preview of the models feet instead of the head/face when viewing your saved characters.
Update will go live on Compact Branches and other Platforms shortly.
