Changelog

v3.4.5

• No changes on Android SDK

v3.4.4

• Added new Dynamic UVs options in SDK and Studio.

  • For dynamic UVs you can choose between face and real options.

  • face option's behaviour is the same as it was before - UVs are adjusted for sampling the person’s face from camera texture.

  • real option adjusts the UVs so that the camera texture is sampled based on the real positions of the mesh vertices.

• Fixed dynamic UVs not working for nodes that are not in face space.

  • Dynamic UVs now work for everything:

    • Nodes in orthographic layers.

    • Nodes in perspective layers.

    • Nodes in face space.

    • Nodes in face space with parent or child node transformations.

    • Nodes not in face space.

• Fixed recording video/audio sync issue when resuming/pausing.

• Fixed eye position component mirroring.

v3.4.3

• Fix landmark2D camera mirror bug

v3.4.2

• Greatly improved face tracking performance (up to 100% on some devices).

• Introduced single-threaded mode (look it up in the docs).

v3.4.1

• Fix for switch effect with path and face parameter not working

• New video textures feature.

v3.3.0

• Fix crash on shutdown.

• New particle system feature.

v3.2.0

• Improved touch handling. Visit docs or face paint article for more info.

v3.1.3

• Fixed critical bug which prevented users to use render filters on the face

v3.1.2

• No changes on Android SDK

v3.1.1

• Fixed OpenCL crashes on some devices

• Fixed crash when phone changes orientation

• Fixed scripting subsystem resource leaks

• BIG PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENT: Introducing a new way of feeding camera frames to DeepAR - external texture. This is a workflow where camera frames are passed to DeepAR via OpenGL texture. Which means that camera frames constantly stay in GPU memory, they don't have to be copied from ByteBuffer where the whole process is more CPU intensive. Also, this way DeepAR can do image processing on the GPU which results in more FPS. Check out our GitHub example to see how to use this feature. You can set the useExternalCameraTexture to true/false to switch between the "external texture" workflow or the old standard workflow for passing camera frames via ByteBuffer

• General refactoring and bugfixes

v3.1.0

• Optimised our engine. Up to 10x performance boost for Android devices that support OpenCL and up to 50% boost for all other devices (OpenGL fallback). You can now safely use 1080p camera resolution and it will run smoothly ;)

• Want to have more control over physics components in runtime? You can now enable/disable entire physics with enablePhysics method or show/hide physics colliders showColliders method. Also, you can change any physics component parameter through our ChangeParameter API, see documentation

• General refactoring and bugfixes

v3.0.0

• New API reference pages

• News features: physics and scripting (check out our guides here)

• Core Engine optimisations and refactor

v2.4.1

• Improved audio/video sync for video recording.

v2.4

• MAJOR CHANGE: DeepAR is now equipped to work with Camera, Camera2 and CameraX API - receiveFrame method now accepts two additional parameters: image format and pixel stride. The method can now receive both NV21 and YUV_420_888 image formats. Read up our API documentation for more info.

• added touchStart and touchEnd methods that work with new Hide on touch component of DeepAR Studio

• bugfix: DeepAR crashing for feeding frames of non-standard aspect ratios

v2.3

• Significantly improved performance and quality of background segmentation in Android SDK.

• added support for the additional output format of the offscreen processing workflow. Users can now select between the following formats: RGBA_8888, ARGB_8888, BGRA_8888, and ABGR_8888

• Other smaller bugfixes and improvements
  

v2.2.1

• Added moveGameObject API method
