Hello Awesome People!
We’ve updated the Animaze “Next-Version” branch with several key improvements; some of them will allow us to catch infrequent issues faster, and help with troubleshooting.
Desktop Changelog:
- Added new idles, to make it easier to use holdable props for folks who don't use any form of hand tracking (though they are really fun when you *do* use hand tracking): microphone and coffee mug holdables for those morning coffee moments and Karaoke streams.
- Added UI warnings about typical experience “debuffs”: Bad framerate during streaming or issues with internet connectivity on start are sure to throw a wrench in your streaming experience. Low fps warnings, low average fps during broadcast warnings, and network connectivity warnings will pop up in the UI, letting you know there are problems, and that there are settings that might need adjustment (in and out of Animaze) to improve the output. Depending on feedback, more debuff detectors will be added in the future, for instance, below-ideal input camera FPS or jittery tracking input that can (and should) be addressed by dialing up the smoothing sliders.
- Fixed a bug where reset keys in the Control panel are not properly displayed.
- Fixed a bug where unbound keys are not saved
- Fixed a non-start issue, where there was no detectable network adapter.
- Fixed a bug with changing the model for ChatPal in the OpenAI settings panel
- Various other fixes and optimizations.
Please let us know your experience with this build before it makes it to the live branch in a day or two. Here is info on how to switch branches: https://www.animaze.us/faq/animazedesktop/navigatebranches .
