It’s a really useful plugin.
However, I’m not very familiar with coding, so I can’t create shaders that meet the plugin’s specifications.
When I configure the shader I made (with ChatGPT), save the scene, and then reload it, the settings are reset.
Also, if I apply the plugin to multiple clothing items and then load the saved scene, the skin texture looks off.
Would it be alright if I edit the plugin for my own use?

This is a revolutionary feature. Now, we truly need a hero to develop a shader that achieves refraction effects.

I don't seem to have the option to apply shaders to clothing items. In fact, the plugin seems completely broken for me

Hi, could you let me know a bit more about how you are using it? A few screen shots or video could help me diagnose what the issue is

I found out what it was-- if used along alternative futa it doesn't detect things correctly, probably because that plugin messes with how skins work. I got it to work by just disabling alternative futa and reenabling it once I applied the custom shaders

I’ve noticed a problem. After I save a scene, the plugin doesn’t retain the AssetBundle I selected—the one for the stockings—every time I load the scene back. I have to manually reload it in the plugin each time. What’s worse, the character’s skin texture gets completely changed whenever I load the AssetBundle, forcing me to reset the character’s appearance. I remember this wasn’t an issue in previous versions; everything worked just fine back then.

It'd be nice if this works for male/futa. I tried using Claude Code to see if I can get it to work but it can't seem to bind to the vertex positions of the male atom it seems.

Here's what it said - not sure how correct this is, or if this helps in anyway. I really love this plugin though, thank you for this!

The problem is purely that BroadcastMessage("OnApplicationFocus") successfully binds those buffers for female but not for male. Something about   
  the male body's GPU skinning pipeline isn't being initialized/connected when that message fires.
                                                                                                                                                    
  So we're back to: the plugin needs to find a different way to trigger the buffer binding for male.

hi i get An error with an embody plugin when i swap models

 

[Dragontales]

Is there a way to create a preset system for the plugin? so that we can reload specific setups more easily?

Hi @regguise,
thanks for your work on this! I have a small QOL-update you could implement if you want:
I was annoyed that I always had to go to "/AddonPackages" then filter by name to find suitable packages with shaders, since this takes about 2min on my installation.
To fix that, you should do the following in

SetupShaderBundleUI()

:

shaderBundleUrl = Utils.SetupAssetBundleChooser(this, "Load Shader Bundle", defaultAssetDir, false, "assetbundle");
shaderBundleUrl.shortCuts = FileManagerSecure.GetShortCutsForDirectory(defaultAssetDir);

Now you get a searchable shortcut list of all packages containing the path "Custom/Assets/" on the left side of the file browser. And the right panel also starts in the local "Custom/Assets/" directory (you had "" as starting value for the shaderBundleUrl).

Have a nice day!

EDIT: I've done some more because the shader selection as well as the shader properties did not restore for me at all. I had to shuffle some things and change some waiting conditions for it to work. Here's my code:
