• There are two ways of closing Tifa’s eyes with two different bones in the face rig. The right is more canon and like the game, but I left the other option in case you like it more. You can switch between the two in the Advanced settings of MustardUI.
  Note: if subdivision is not enabled, closing the eyes as in the right image might seem to create artifacts in the mesh. This is correct, as these problems are solved when subdivision modifiers are enabled.

If not specified near the model version, you do not need to redownload textures.

Version 1.9.2 (07/06/2024)

• Bug: Restored some features that were removed on the previous version due to a Blender bug.
• Bug: Other small bug fixes.

Version 1.9.1 (21/12/2023)

• Bug: The rig should now work without MHX installed. However, the installation of the MHX runtime is still advised to switch IK/FK and use other rig features.
• Bug: Reverted some UI features that were causing performance issues and crashes due to a Blender bug. The model should be much more stable now. The feature reverted is the automatic hide/show of armature layers when changing outfits, as a workaround some Armature layers has been added to hide/whow some outfits layers. The feature will be readded when the Blender bug is fixed.

Version 1.5.0 (29/08/2022)

• Improvement: Significantly improved the VRAM consumption (from 30% to 50% less memory, depending on the outfit used).
• Improvement: The Final Fantasy VII Remake Default outfit shaders have been re-done to be more like in game.
• Bug: Subdivision was creating artifacts in the lower part of the top in the Final Fantasy VII Remake Default outfit.

Note: The combination of the memory usage and shader optimizations have reduced the VRAM used by the model up to 50%, depending on the outfits used. An example is in the image below, when only the Body is rendered (consider 1Gb of VRAM used by the system where the new modifications were tested). Moreover, the shader compilation time is also reduced significantly due to the simplications in the shaders.

Version 1.4.3 (07/08/2022)

• UI: New Tool to disable Morphs without disabling the face rig controllers. The documentation will be updated for more informations on these new buttons.
• UI: New Tool to remove single outfits completely (not only from the UI, but removing also the data and checking for eventual Orphan data). This tool can be used only in Configuration mode, either with the dedicated button in the Outfit List or right clicking on an outfit and pressing Remove Outfit.
• UI: The Remove UI has been completely revisited,. It it is now possible to choose between three modes: remove the UI without deleting settings or objects, deleting the UI data preserving all the Objects, remove the UI and delete all the Objects. The latter tool is especially useful to quickly remove a model from a scene, without the presence of Orphan data that might remain if a manual removal from the Outliner is performed.
• UI: New Tool (in the Clean Model tool, available in the Settings when Maintenance Mode is enabled) to remove all the Diffeomorphic data if you don’t plan to add new Outfits to the model. For Tifa you can get additional 5fps with one click.

• UI: New Advanced option to preserve Corrective morphs when disabling the Morphs.

• Other small bug fixes.

*: Some options are available clicking on the cogwheel. For more control, check the Particle System settings. A huge thank to Nagoo and Gman for the help in fixing the physics.
**: Let me know if you like the color and the tan lines.
