EVE 2.3.15 Available: Bridging the Gap to Beta 3 (Quality & Fixes) (Patreon)

🛠 UPDATE v2.3.15 | Refining Presence & Senses

I’ve just pushed a new build to ensure your immersion is flawless. This update focuses on perfecting how you inhabit and hear the environment:

Sensory Depth: Fixed the binaural audio differentiation between VR and Desktop for a more natural soundscape.

Perfect Grounding: Resolved the VR camera height variance. Your physical presence now aligns perfectly with the virtual floor.

⚠️ IMPORTANT: You may need to reset your configuration in the Settings Menu to apply these height calibrations correctly.

Hello everyone,

I am releasing update v2.3.8 today, slightly ahead of schedule.

While my main focus is currently on the major leap towards Beta 3, I felt it was necessary to release an intermediate update right now. To be completely honest, I wasn't satisfied with the character quality in the previous build. There were mesh defects and weighting issues—especially in extreme poses—that didn't meet the standards I want for EVE.

Instead of making you wait for the next major milestone, I want you to have these improvements immediately so you can enjoy a smoother, better-looking experience while following the development progress step-by-step.

Here is what you will find in v2.3.8:

🔧 Character Overhaul

This was the priority for this update.

Mesh & Weight Fixes: I have corrected several defects regarding morphs and mesh weights. The character now deforms much more naturally, especially during extreme poses or complex animations.

New "Quick Outfit" Menu: In Edit Mode, you no longer need to dig through folders to change clothes. I’ve introduced a Quick Menu that lets you toggle and swap outfits instantly, streamlining the creation flow.

🌬️ Environment & Settings

Ambient Wind System: You can now configure ambient wind parameters. Best of all, these settings are saved per scene, allowing you to create different atmospheres for different environments.

VR Height Adjustment: Added specific parameters in the settings to fine-tune the camera height in VR for better comfort and scale.

🎮 Interaction & Controls

Full Rotation Freedom: Instantiated assets (objects) can now be rotated in all directions.

On Monitor: You can rotate freely via mouse (check the "Help" section in the top-left corner for the specific key combinations).

In VR: You can grab objects up close and rotate them naturally with your hands.

🐛 General

Various bug fixes and stability improvements.
