Naturalis v1.3-beta1 (58.var)

Happy 2024 everyone! I hope the year is off to a great start.

I will update the Hub post tomorrow, it'll just have the same video and summarize changes so far relative to v1.2, so probably nothing new to current subscribers who have more or less kept up with the v1.3 release notes so far. 😅

Beta 1 release notes

Summary:

The Mesh Pressure feature has been enhanced with various optimizations. Improvements to calibration include unified calibration for  both TittyMagic and BootyMagic, faster and more accurate multidirectional calibration, and near-perfect calibration result precision. TittyMagic's joint physics and morphing has been tweaked in a small way. Plus fixes and other small changes.

Improvements to the Mesh Pressure Feature

I implemented various optimizations to better adapt the amount of pressure force to different situations, and fine tuned how the pressure is applied.

• pressure force scales with breast/glute size
• the max amount of force per soft joint is clamped to prevent the force from spiking
• improved how the amount of pressure force is automatically calculated based on soft joint depths - it varies slightly based on the joint's calibrated depth, and some scaling factors have been implemented to make the amount of volume compensation more appropriate for different poses and shapes
• the exact location inside the mesh where the pressure force expands outwards shifts from the center towards the areola based on the current amount of depth in/out morphing - this prevents the force from pushing the areola further out if it's already pushed out due to depth morphs, while still compensating the volume by the same amount
• the nipple soft joint no longer contributes to the amount of mesh pressure (but it will still receive force)
• TittyMagic: increased default slider value for the pressure multiplier from 0.40f to 1.00f (to have the same default value in BM and TM; the actual default pressure force isn't increased by that amount)
• TittyMagic: increased areola and nipple gradient multipliers for fat pressure - the nipple and areola now receive more force

Also, since its performance impact is nearly zero, the mesh pressure toggles of both BootyMagic and TittyMagic are enabled by default in Naturalis User Preferences - however, the preference setting saved by previous v1.3 releases isn't overwritten, it will just be the new default for any new v1.3 user.

Improvements to Calibration

• Both plugins now always calibrate whenever you calibrate
• The precision of calibration is now near perfect - there were a couple of bugs and oversights that caused the calibrated up/down and right/left angles to be off by several degrees, which affected the way morphs were applied.
• Multidirectional calibration is a bit faster

The main benefit of the unified calibration is that if you enable an advanced soft physics setting in TittyMagic, you can also enable any of those features in BootyMagic without needing to calibrate again, and vice versa.

Multidirectional is also more accurate than before, and becomes faster the lower the softness (since the soft joints stop jiggling more quickly) and the smaller the breasts/glutes.

As a result of these changes, calibration data is not loaded from the scene JSON when loading a scene saved with previous Naturalis versions.

TittyMagic Physics and Morphing

Depth morphing should now work a bit better with mesh pressure, and the breast joint physics and upward morphing are adapted to the more accurate calibration result.

• reduced amount of upward morphing by 10% (equivalent to 0.9 Up multiplier in previous version)
• improved depth morph values to better maintain a consistent breast size (reduced depth in morphing size, increased depth out morphing size compared to before)
• increased default damper of soft breasts slightly
• increased default downward (upright pose) gravity of small breasts slightly
• improved breast up/down angle target's adjustment with angle (gravity physics) - (1) breasts that aren't max softness drop slightly more heavily when upright, (2) breasts don't climb up as much when leaning back 90 deg or more

Fixes & Other

• fixed possible physics corruption issue when loading scene with mesh pressure enabled
• fixed issue where toggling soft physics or any of the adv. soft physics features during calibration did not set the calibration to pending
• fixed issue where toggling depth physics off did not properly remove depth physics adjustments from the mesh if Mesh Pressure was also enabled
• the "legs" clothing tag is now recognized as valid for BootyMagic clothing adjustment items; previously only "hip" and "full body" were valid
• increased chest / torso / hip area dampers in the calibration pose to reduce jiggling
• fixed issue where pectoral colliders were enabled when removing plugin if atom collision was disabled at that time
• force is now applied immediately when changing the direction of gravity simulation (faster but not a smooth transition)
