0.1.12

Open beta · 1 October 2026

Narrow-window display fixes

Updates show the same foreground warm-up window as new installations. Cached work is skipped; Cancel keeps completed cache entries and continues the remaining preparation in the background.
Unity's current readiness is checked even for shaders previously recorded as ready. If only the record remains and the shader is not ready, it is prepared again before the first conversion; ready caches are still skipped.
Material selection buttons in a narrow Manager show short labels and explanatory tooltips.
The Play Mode build option uses a shorter label with the same default and behavior.
The Simple inspector keeps the selected look and Apply button visible, including saved looks, separate High/Low entries, and color presets.

Meshes with valid normals and UV0 but no tangents can receive automatic outline baking on a generated clone with tangents and UV8; the original is preserved.
Conversion reduces repeated analysis of the same shader-preparation plan.
First-display warm-up now also prepares the unshadowed directional-light draw state. Additional compilation can still remain depending on the environment.

Conversion preserves originals, and editing is reorganized.

Before updating

Make a MingToon copy — Creates an independent prefab and materials beside the original. → Wizard
Start · Look · Optimize — Manager tasks use three tabs. → Manager
Simple · Full — Feature rows, folding, and detail editing are reorganized. → Inspector
Update — Opening the window checks the latest information. Markdown notes appear in the selected language.

Use Performance Distance is off for new materials. Enable it for distance optimization.
Maximum Final Brightness also limits the light driving effects. Check appearance under strong lights.
Normal Map Shadow is inside normal map settings. The new Shade Strength default is 0.7.
New lilToon conversions use 0.5 times the previous corrected toon specular blend opacity. Existing material values are kept.
Use Cubemap is off for new materials. Pattern and glitter slider limits are higher.
A native Light Volumes v3 path is added. The v2 path is retained.
Outlines follow the volume's base color and brightness. Individual lights inside the volume do not affect them.
The volume darkening/brightening response controls are removed from the UI. Saved values remain unused.

Factory looks no longer fail validation because of obsolete mask channel data.
Duplicate GPU rendering of static large texture previews is reduced. For 100 identical requests, renders changed from 100 to 1 with matching pixels.
Outlines no longer stay bright alone in dark light volumes.
Shadow reflection is no longer added incorrectly in bright areas.
Prepared shader combinations skip compile requests using valid records and pass caches. Perceived differences vary by environment.
VRChat builds prepare meshes/textures after MA and before AAO. Shader analysis follows the final transformations.

An intermittent file replacement error can occur when starting an update from 0.1.11. Publishing a new version alone does not guarantee that it disappears. → Retry and support guidance
This does not guarantee that total conversion time, cold shader compilation or first-paint time always decreases. A cyan placeholder can remain while asynchronous compilation is active.
Preview counts cover GPU render requests for static large cards only. They are not overall FPS or GPU time.
Live/streaming textures and small cards continue to refresh.
Warm-up does not eliminate compilation of every shader combination.
Manager Current load is an estimate, not actual GPU utilization.
New-install/update acceptance and actual-avatar/URP validation are separate.
The distribution targets the BRP core. MLC, Face SDF Studio, and Mask Maker are separate products.
