💖 VRMUtils.combineMorphs 💖

In #1546, we have a new function, VRMUtils.combineMorphs, that combines morphs based on VRM expressions.
If you are not using morphs directly via mesh.morphTargetInfluences, This function might improve the performance, reduce the VRAM pressure, and prevent shader errors in mobile devices caused by models with many morphs.
We recommend adopting this function especially if you are building an application that loads arbitrary models.

  VRMUtils.removeUnnecessaryVertices( gltf.scene );
- VRMUtils.removeUnnecessaryJoints( gltf.scene );
+ VRMUtils.combineSkeletons( gltf.scene ); // introduced in v3.2.0
+ VRMUtils.combineMorphs( vrm ); // 🆕 introduces in v3.3.0

✨ New Features

• #1546: Add VRMUtils.combineMorphs for reducing the number of mesh morphs

💪 Performance

• #1539: Optimize spring bones computations (@mrxz)

v3.2.0

Milestone

⚠ ATTENTION! ⚠

In #1535, we have a new function VRMUtils.combineSkeletons that took the place of the existing VRMUtils.removeUnnecessaryJoints. VRMUtils.combineSkeletons is much more performant than VRMUtils.removeUnnecessaryJoints.
Using VRMUtils.removeUnnecessaryJoints is now deprecated and will produce a warning in the console. The function will be removed in the next major release.

I believe you can safely replace VRMUtils.removeUnnecessaryJoints with VRMUtils.combineSkeletons without any errors or performance degradation.
If you have any issues, please let us know.

- VRMUtils.removeUnnecessaryJoints( gltf.scene );
+ VRMUtils.combineSkeletons( gltf.scene );
