UPDATE - UNITY
COMBAT GIRLS
Updated Assets
Supported Unity Versions
- Supported Unity versions : Unity 2022.3 to Unity 6.4 with Unity 2022.3.1f1 as the minimum supported version.

Notice
The Version 1.3 update applies to the entire CombatGirls Character series and is being released gradually, starting with firearm-type characters and continuing through sword-type characters.
Because each product has a different structure and requires different types of fixes, it is difficult to update all packages at the same time. As a result, there may be a delay of several days to up to one week between individual product updates. We appreciate your understanding while the updates are being rolled out sequentially.
Update Recommendations for Existing Users
Version 1.3 includes changes to prefabs, face materials, shaders, animations, and weapon alignment settings.
For a stable update process, we recommend the following steps:
- Back up your existing project.
- Import Version 1.3 into a new Unity project first.
- Confirm that the character prefabs and shaders are applied correctly.
- Test the SDF face shadows and emotion animations.
- Check the weapon sockets and left-hand positions.
- After completing the tests, apply the update to your existing project.
1. Added the New Face_06 Type
The Face_06 face type, previously included in the Great Sword and Rocket Launcher products, has now been added to other CombatGirls character packages.
This update provides a more consistent set of face options across the CombatGirls series.
- New face type : Face_06
- Applies to : CombatGirls character packages that did not previously include Face_06
- Existing Face_01–Face_05 options remain unchanged
2. Added Emotion and Facial Animations
Seven common emotion and facial animations have been added across all CombatGirls characters.
- Angry
- Disappointment
- Greeting
- Sad
- Shy
- Smile
- Surprise
These animations are designed to work with the characters’ facial BlendShapes and can be used for dialogue scenes, emotional performances, cutscenes, and character presentations.
3. Expanded Facial BlendShapes
BlendShapes for emotional expressions have been added to character faces Face_01 through Face_06.
Added BlendShapes
- Eyes: 13
- Eyebrows: 11
- Mouth: 6
- Lips: 5
Each face type can create a wide range of expressions by combining the eye, eyebrow, mouth, and lip shapes.
In addition to the included emotion animations, users can adjust the BlendShape values directly to create new expressions and custom facial animations.
4. Added UTS Shader SDF Textures
- The “Unity Chan Toon Shader - SDF - Builtin, URP, Unity 6 URP” package has been added to the project.
- The “SDFFaceShadowController” script has been added to the character’s top-level object. It applies SDF shadows to the character faces (Face_01–Face_06) based on the Head Bone and Directional Light.
- The feature can be found under:
UnityChanToonShader / SDF or Toon > Three Color and Control Map Settings > Face SDF Shadow Settings
5. Unity Shader Packages Included in the Project
Unity shader packages that previously had to be downloaded separately from the website are now included in the project starting with Version 1.3.
Included Shader Packages
- Unity Chan Toon Shader - Built-in
- Unity Chan Toon Shader - URP
- Unity Chan Toon Shader - Unity 6 URP
The appropriate shader package for each render pipeline can now be run directly from within the project.
6. Fixed Weapon Bone Alignment
An issue where the weapon bone was not properly aligned with the character’s Hand Bone has been fixed.
This improves the consistency of weapon position and rotation when weapons are equipped.
In existing projects where weapon positions were adjusted manually, please check the setup after updating, as the alignment may have changed.
7. Fixed Left-Hand Position for Rifle-Type Weapons
An issue where the fixed left-hand position varied between rifle-type weapons has been corrected.
The related animations and alignment settings have been adjusted so that the left hand maintains a more consistent position on the weapon grip.
8. Standardized Weapon Axes and Socket Alignment
Weapon axes and alignment standards have been reset so that weapons of the same type can be swapped using a single weapon socket.
This reduces the need to create or adjust separate socket positions for each weapon within the same category.
In existing projects where weapon positions or axes were modified manually, please review the setup after updating, as differences may occur.
