[Open beta] Added a new feature that makes it easier to dress made-from-scratch avatars like VRChat avatars in 3D costumes!

Thank you for using VRoid Studio.

Since December last year, we have been developing a new feature that allows you to easily dress up made-from-scratch avatars, such as those intended for VRChat, with 3D costumes.
As of today, this feature is available for everyone to try as an open beta.

We hope you'll take this opportunity to try this new feature in VRoid Studio.

The new feature consists of two components: those integrated into VRoid Studio and editor extensions designed for Unity.
We will introduce them one by one.
