DanceXR 2026.6 Release Notes
DanceXR 2026.6 is all about hands-on control: a new interactive posing and balance system, a smarter conversational assistant, and more lifelike fluid and motion behavior.
What is New
Pose your character by hand
- A brand-new posing system lets you grab and drag points on the body to set limbs directly, with intuitive depth control and clear on-body handles.
- Feet can be pinned in place by dwelling on them, making it easy to plant a pose before adjusting the rest of the body.
- Full-body balance was rebuilt from the ground up so characters settle, shift weight, and react more naturally — including better landing, hip and knee behavior, and natural sway.
- VR hand control is now integrated into posing, so you can shape a pose directly in headset.
A smarter assistant
- Chat now includes an assistant mode with always-on voice commands and the ability to carry out multi-step actions for you.
- In-chat commands make it quick to search for characters, switch characters, and change scenes.
- Conversations are more robust: empty or cut-off replies are handled gracefully, links in messages are now clickable, and welcome and loading messages keep things clear.
More lifelike fluid and motion
- Fluid simulation looks and behaves better, with improved cohesion, stickiness, and stability.
- Motion received targeted improvements: smoother hip movement, new tentacle motion, and cleaner transitions between animations.
- Improved inherit-bone handling fixes a long-standing model compatibility issue, so many models that previously animated incorrectly now play back as intended.
Quality Improvements
- More reliable bone and rig handling, including translatable non-standard bones and availability checks.
- Fixed chat history, freeze, and cleanup issues, plus numerous stability passes.
- Updated to the latest Unity version for the project.
