You have not added information how make new data for next avatar.
Everything goes well for first avatar.

When i want make new data for another avatar, i renamed old data in avatar name, and unpack then new prefab in root, link new avatar and start editor... but i cannot generate new preview. The editor found old file and use it.

How can i make new dummy? Editor jumped back to old dummy. Where can i force to make new dummy?

You should add some explaination how make new data for each avatar without delete old data. Old data must kept due all settings there for old avatar gestures. This will make work on each avatar possible without start over again.

In short:
Add more tools to generate easier new data for another avatars. Just nice button to make new group/data for another avatar. Then i can swap without problems between avatars. But, the manual won't tell for people with many avatars (there are a lot people!) and the guide is just straight forward for 1 avatar, but nothing for another avatar. I wasted hours to foind out why editor jumped back to old data and that mess also the previews up. It's just not nice.
So please, add more information how make another emotes combo data for another avatar.

Oh small note: I put many avatars in one scene. That might reason why things went weird.

Small add:

  • If user has all avatars in one scene: it might a problem with your tool, because i cannot make simple new emotes data for t. It's not very clear and even with renaming main map and dummy map for avatar, it goes not well. The editor will jump back to first made dummy files.
  • If user has for each avatar own scene, then there should no problems with your tool.

But yeah, tool has nothing for users who have all avatars in one scene. Then make new one is a problem. Can you find a way and if possible add some information about it how make new list / data / dummy for next avatar in scene with many avatars?

Looking back here again, is feature to save for each avatar model (or more like for each type avatar) added?
I am still afraid to lose saved gestures.
I am sure many users have multiple avatars in one project / scene. Then for each avatar, it should not hard to click on button "make new gesture database for this avatar".
Then we can start setup gestures and face expressions. This should easy stored in own directory / settings.
Switching between avatars should easy recognized based on avatar name (name directory) so we can continue with editing.

I don't know what is changed for long time, just asking. Your guide don't tell much about multiple avatars and how to make new one while keep old settings for older avatars. I am sure this is high requested feature.

(note: other tools like virtuallens can save settings in own directories for every avatar, so it's not new method)

Thanks for the feedback, this will change in ComboGestureExpressions 2.

In ComboGestureExpressions 2, I will integrate a workflow for working with multiple avatars.
