Release 3.8.2

Momo the Monster

VRChat Developer

Summary​

SDK version 3.8.2 brings a spawn radius setting to worlds, matches the new Item Unity layer to the VRChat client, and fixes several issues.

Fixes & Changes​

For World Creators​

  • The reserved3 Unity layer has been renamed to Item, and is now set up in the physics collision matrix to match the VRChat client (items only collide with other items).
  • Worlds now support a spawn radius for players!
    • The SDK now lets you define a circular Spawn Radius in the scene descriptor component. The radius applies to all spawn points, and the editor visualizes the radius when you select a spawn point in the scene view.
    • The spawn radius defaults to 0.2m for new worlds (as defined in the default VRC world scene template).
    • Players spawn randomly within this radius. New and existing worlds where the radius is set to 0 continue to work as before, with players spawning at the exact spawn point.
  • Fixed the DownloadImage() method in VRCImageDownloader throwing an exception when called from Udon Sharp with no event receiver.
  • Fixed VRCObjectPool's StartPositions and StartRotations showing as exposed in the Udon class exposure tree window.
  • Fixed ClientSim not letting you enter Play Mode without a Scene Descriptor.

For Avatar Creators​

  • You can now edit avatar tags in the SDK.
  • Added a validation error that prevents a humanoid avatar from being uploaded if it has a nested armature.
    • "Nested armature" means the root of the armature is not a direct child of the GameObject containing the avatar's animator. Avatars set up this way have previously not had animations play for other users when seen in VRChat.
    • Specifically, this means the avatarRoot on the root Animator is not the same transform as the VRC_AvatarDescriptor.
    • This is not a supported configuration.
  • Opening the VRChat SDK Build Panel no longer creates an empty "VRC Per-Platform Overrides" component.
  • When all per-platform overrides are removed from an avatar, the "VRC Per-Platform Overrides" component will now be removed as well.

Fixes & Changes between 3.8.2-beta.1 and live​

  • Toon Standard shader updates:
    • Fixed "Outline from Albedo" not taking Tint and Vertex Color (if enabled) into account.
    • Fixed normal maps being inverted on backfaces and outlines sometimes glitching through on "Cull Off" (double-sided) materials.
  • Updated the performance rank message in the SDK Build Panel to mention that it is only an estimate.
  • Adjusted the messaging on avatar pedestals with private avatar IDs to be more accurate.
  • All custom events are visible in the Udon Graph editor's sidebar again.
  • Added a warning when any of the Spawns in the VRC Scene Descriptor are too far from origin (more than 1000 units on any axis).
    • Moving the player this far out can cause issues with rendering or UI interaction and is not recommended.

Known Issues​

  • In rare cases, you may see an "All pipe instances are busy" error while building. This is a Unity issue - restarting your editor and trying again should fix it.
