Can confirm that I have gotten the Pump System 2.0 Functioning on the Renamon and am now onto fixing a few bugs that came along with the implantation of the features.
Current bugs are: Missing textures on Blueberry Dart, Blueberry Inflation not changing avatar colour, Pooltoy Outfit not reflecting correctly.
2021-07-05 22:33:28 +0000 UTC View PostAfter searching around throughout the Pump System 2.0 Flow, I found that the "Pulsing" animation that I created for when the subject is at maximum capacity may be the cause.
This is due to the animation actually being 2 separate animations flicking back and fourth between being at 100 pumps and 99 pumps.
The reason I believe this may be the issue is that VRChat has some funky ways of syncing animations and flowcharts with other players online which can result in desynchronization issues.
I am working on the Renamon's implementation of the Pump System 2.0 right now and am applying a possible fix, making a dedicated animation to the pulsing instead of relying on the animation flow to handle it.
If this fix proves to help with desynchronised animation flow, then it will be applied to all the public avatars when the update comes out on the 14th of July.
2021-07-05 16:16:08 +0000 UTC View PostFound a Bug with the current implementation of the Pump System 2.0 which contributes to desynchronization of the animations to other users.
Specifically when the player goes 1 over their limit and is supposed to burst, sometimes when pressing that final pump, the player will get stuck at max capacity and not explode but also may explode on other people's screen.
Looking into this, I think it may have something to do with the animation Flow and the throbbing effect that the avatars have when at their limits.
2021-07-04 16:59:21 +0000 UTC View PostSo, now that the Popkin's update is complete and ready to go for the big update, I've now started work on upgrading the Renamon avatar to use Pump System 2.0!
Once again, friendly reminder, I am not the creator of the base model, I just made the avatar. This Renamon Avatar in particular, the base model is by Lexidoll.

After realising that Patreon has a limit of 200mb for attachments, I fixed the video so that it fits in that scale, sorry for any issues this may have caused as I know that teaser is what you paid for.
Kind regards, Ryan.

So the Popkin is going to have a new addition to its menu system to allow for some level of Customisation!
HATS!
In the next update, Popkin Users will have access to 3 new hats to start with! The Top Hat, The Party Hat and the Bow!
Expect to see more of these little additions in the future! And for those of you that want just the 3 models, they are attached below!

While adding the new pump system to the Popkin along with changing the shader it uses, I noticed that the Pooltoy Outfit no longer looked as shiny and Pooltoy-like as it used to. So I took the opportunity to improve upon this too.

Not to worry, I just had to delete a previous shader I was using to replace with an alternate version instead.
For those who don't know, I use Poiyomi Shaders on my avatars, the version I was using is not compatible with the latest version of Avatar SDK 3 and as a result, purple popkin happened :P
Easy fix and it seems like adding the new system should be relatively easy, if not a little tedious by its very nature.
I have started work in pushing Pump System 2.0 onto the public avatars, starting first with the Popkin as it is the most popular of the 3 current models.
I will not be releasing the public avatar version of Pump System 2.0 until I have all 3 inflatable avatars functioning properly with it along with having variable names equal to each other in order to ensure ease of use for the big Dynamics push when the VRChat Update comes out.
As a reminder to you all, the model for the Popkin is the Hobkin, created by Hobbert. I did not create the base models for the 3 current inflation avatars, I instead manipulated the base to be inflatable and created all the animation systems you'll find on them.
Thank you all for your support! ^w^

Heyo! So I've been developing a new version of the Pump System that includes a whole load of new features! These features will make the system easier to use, more streamlined and also sets us up for some of the crazy stuff I'm gonna be making this year!
Watch the attached video to find out more! And see it in action!
