Char Crafter v1.3 Coming Soon !

Char Crafter 1.3 — Blend Shapes & Beyond! 🚀

Are you ready for the next evolution of Char Crafter?
Version 1.3 is deep in development, and it’s shaping up to be a huge step forward — especially when it comes to character customization!

Here’s what’s already planned for the update:

💪 1️⃣ Blend Shape Support — Body Proportions!

This update introduces body morphing with Blend Shapes — meaning you can now control your character’s body proportions with sliders!

The system is split into 3 phases, and 1.3 will include 9 key shape options like chest, arms, legs, stomach, beard size, and more — all with proper clothing deformation support out of the box.

🎨 2️⃣ Smooth Shader & Auto Smooth Options

Want a cleaner, stylized look for your character mesh?
1.3 will introduce new visual smoothing options, including Smooth Shader and possibly Auto Smooth. I'm still deciding whether to ship both in this version — but either way, expect more flexibility for your game's art style!

👕 3️⃣ Entire New Clothing Era

A brand new clothing set is also in development — think of it like adding a whole new wardrobe style. Depending on timing and polish, it may be released in a single drop or split into smaller updates (1.3.x), but either way... it’s big.

🛠️ 4️⃣ Render Pipeline Auto Converter

A new technical feature: automatic render pipeline conversion!
Char Crafter will detect and help convert materials between URP, HDRP, and built-in — making it much easier for you to integrate the tool into your existing Unity project, no matter the pipeline.

It’s a brand-new area for me, but I’ve already made solid progress and it’s planned to ship with 1.3.

🎩 5️⃣ Hat Compatibility Hair Fix

Ever noticed hats looked a bit too big just to fit over hair?
That’s fixed now with a smart hidden blend shape for hairstyles. It automatically adjusts the hair mesh when wearing a hat — giving you a clean, proportional look with zero manual tweaking.

🐞 6️⃣ Bug Fixes & Minor Improvements

Several UI quirks and small bugs reported by the community will also be addressed in this update — thanks to everyone who’s shared feedback so far!

🎉 Get Ready — 1.3 is Big!

Char Crafter 1.3 is shaping up to be a massive update, and I’m working hard to make sure it feels polished, powerful, and fun to use.

But here’s the fun part: version 1.4 is going to be even bigger.
So if you like where this is going... stay hyped, stay tuned, and get ready to craft better than ever.
