Hello everyone! I got a new build for you! This is mostly resolving a bunch of issues for PhotonDust, getting that working again! This build improves performance/smoothness of PhotonDust, especially with large numbers of particles and fixes a number of compatibility issues. There's still more to come, but this gets us closer to being able take PhotonDust out of experimental and remove the legacy particle system! However for now, it still remains experimental, so use caution! There are some breaking changes in this one, so any converted items that use the lights module need to be re-converted or fixed manually. There are a few other bits as well, notably users who switched from Patreon to Stripe (which is currently in closed beta) now should have proper supporter badge! There's a bunch more stuff coming soon, there's a lot of things cooked up in PR's that getting finished, so expect a bunch more goodies soon!
Optimizations:
- Convert particle buffers to Unity buffers with multithreaded processing -- This speeds up the overall simulation rate (based on report by @stellanora, @rucio, @garfflesnark, @foxbox. and @stiefeljackal, issue #3401) - Pipeline PhotonDust buffer submissions for rendering to improve overall update rate and parallelize processing -- This prevents PhotonDust from having to wait a whole frame to run another simulation update in some cases, causing the particle system to be choppier (based on report by @stellanora, @rucio, @garfflesnark, @foxbox. and @stiefeljackal, issue #3401) -- Once the PhotonDust buffers are converted to Unity for rendering, they are released, which allows another simulation update to happen in parallel, while the buffer is being submitted
Tweaks:
- Ensure that particles with infinite lifetime die on collision when lifetime loss is set to 1 (based on report by @3x1t_5tyl3, issue #3435) - Significantly improve robustness of PhotonDust particle collisions to prevent particles getting randomly stuck or leaking through colliders (based on report by @orange3134, issue #3393) - ColorOverLifetimeStartEnd now uses colorX instead of color (reported by @kulza, issue #3406) - Supporter badge is now displayed for users who support through Stripe (implemented by @gawdl3y) - Updated yt-dlp to 2024.12.23
Locale:
- Merged Esperanto locale update by @sejden - Merged Chinese locale update by lolosiax
Fixes:
- Rework legacy particle light module conversion to fix a number of conversion issues (reported by VirgilCore, @krzeszny, issue #3358) -- This fixes the lights being too bright or dim -- Note: The way this module is converted has changed in a way that's not compatible. Any saved converted systems will have this broken - you'll need to convert them again or fix them manually -- IgnoreTemplateIntensity and IgnoreTemplateRange on ParticleLightsModule were removed as they're not necessary for the new conversion - Fix exceptions when disposting PhotonDust particle system due to disposal being performed twice (based on logs by @_deltawolf, @elbrar, @azzurol, @kick_kick, VictorBraga, PhoenixLugia75, horusalpha, issue #3487) - Fix MeshEmitter breaking when given a mesh without UV0s (based on report by @lecloutpanda, @3x1t_5tyl3, issue #3436)

Online socialization and real-time communication whether you're in desktop or VR is the foundational layer of everything in Resonite. Being able to communicate and be yourself is an important part of the platform. To make this possible, we offer a number of key features:- Low latency voice - communicate in real time with other users in session with latency rivaling that of other messaging applications
- Fully custom avatars - import, build and customize any avatars in-game and in real-time to look like the best version of you
- Full body tracking, eye & face tracking - to maximize your avatar's expressivity we support 8 trackers (feet, knees, hips, chest and elbows) as well as eye and face tracking
- Haptics support - with support for haptic vests such as bHaptics, you can increase your immersion and become part of the virtual world
- Instant messaging - chat over text, send invites, voice messages or even arbitrary items to your contacts
- Flexible session visibility & security - you are in control of the visibility and accessibility of your sessions, anywhere from public to fully private, with an access list you control. All validation and verification of joining users is done on your client - if you set your session to Private, you can be sure that it is private
- Customizable UI - the user interface is your gateway to using the platform and just like everything else in Resonite, it can be customized and extended to better suit your needs and make your daily experience more comfortable
- Self-moderation tools - we understand that not every interaction on the platform will be good and that's why we want to empower you with a number of self-moderation tools - moderate your own worlds with silence, kick and ban functions or easily mute and block individual users avatars or their entire presence. Our goal is to give you as much control over your virtual experience as we can.
- Multi-world presence - just like tabs in a web browser, you can be present in multiple worlds and switch between them in a fraction of second
Play, explore and share
Socializing does not have to end at chatting with your fellow users. Resonite is a universe full of fun gadgets, avatars and games to explore, with features to make any session fun and exciting.- Easy media sharing - drag & drop pictures, audio/music or videos into any world to share with other users with synchronized playback - it's that easy!
- Inventory system - did you find or made something cool? Save it to your inventory! You can spawn any items, gadgets and tools in any world (as long as you have permissions to do so) - everything is fully synchronized too!
- Dynamic avatar scaling - exploring the world or interacting with users at different scales can give you quite a different experience - you can change your avatar's scale anywhere, at any time (unless it's limited by the host of the session)!
- High quality audio streaming - want to host a party and be the DJ? Streaming your system audio in full stereo in high quality is a few clicks away
- World search & session discovery system - looking for a cool world to visit or what your friends are up to? Searching worlds by their names and tags as well as seeing which worlds your contacts are in will help you there

Build and create
If you have a creative itch, you may enjoy the powerful toolset that Resonite offers to you. Not only you can build and edit absolutely anything - from your avatar, items, to the entire worlds or even making your own tools, you can collaborate with others in real time and achieve true creative resonance!- Realtime collaboration - the collaboration on our platform is so seamless, that you will often forget it's there - our powerful engine ensures that the world and everything in it starts in perfect sync, no matter what you do - you'd be hard pressed to find any feature or functionality that'd be visible only to you (unless it's your private UI of course!)
- Edit anything - everything you see in the world can be edited and customized with the game tools - in fact, we built a lot of the official functionality in-game with the same tools that are accessible to you - from the home world, default avatars, to video players, color picker UI or progress bar - you can take them apart or build your own from scratch and favorite them
- Save anything - you can save literally anything on the platform! Whether you built a new item, an avatar or a world, or made modifications to an existing one, everything can be persisted with a single click of a button. You can efficiently store multiple copies as well - our deduplication system will ensure that any shared assets only get counted once
- Development tools - our development tools range from simple brushes and procedural meshes to more advanced and powerful ones, similar to ones you find in classical game development tools - except that you can use them in VR with real time collaboration!
- Cross-world synchronization and persistence - with our integrated cloud tools, you can easily preserve user data between sessions or synchronize state across multiple different worlds
- Import 3D models - thanks to open source libraries, it's extremely easy to bring in large variety of 3D model formats - simply drag and drop your FBX, OBJ, GLB or other files and bring them in
- Texture/Audio/Model processing - need to make a quick edit to a texture, audio file or 3D mesh? Basic editing functions are fully accessible in-game - from hue-shifting textures, normalizing and clipping audio to recalculating normals and tangents on meshes or baking them
- Export content for external tools - as easy as it is to bring content in, it's just as easy to take it out! With this, you can make edits using external tools or make Resonite part of your workflow
Code and develop
- ProtoFlux - ProtoFlux is the crown jewel of our creative tools - the most powerful visual programming language that our experienced team has designed to date, which lets you quickly prototype and build anything from simple interactions to complex games and systems - with full real-time collaboration support and immediate feedback
- Script anything - ProtoFlux can interact with anything - the world, the items, your avatar and any combinations of these!
- Websockets - thanks to built-in websocket support, you can easily communicate with external applications and scripts and build extensive functionality, such as your own game servers, fetching external data to integrating new and custom hardware, without having to depend on official integration
- Async Flows - creating code that needs to yield or wait across different frames is a native feature of ProtoFlux, with full execution scope preservation - you can even have multiple async flows running off the same code, each with their own unique context, which is a highly powerful and flexible tool for simplifying your logic
- Flexible storage system - locals, stores and data model - pick where you store your computational data depending on the desired scope and context, to build highly efficient systems
