This is the 1st release of the VaM2 Addon Kit, exclusive to our Patreon Creator tier backers. This Addon Kit is a Unity project that can be used to make addon content for VaM2. We use a development version of the Addon Kit ourselves to create all of the content you see in VaM2. This 1st release provides just some of the capabilities our internal developer kit allows, but over time, as we improve the usability of features, we will release updates to the Addon Kit to unlock the full power. For today's release, the Addon Kit allows you to create:
Skin (texture/material/shader) addons
Blend Shape (morph) addons
Note: this version of the Addon Kit only works with VaM2 Beta1.1. Please make sure you install that first. See the other post for information on the VaM2 Beta1.1 release: https://www.patreon.com/posts/vam2-beta1-1-has-134352549
Download
In the future we plan to create an updater for the Addon Kit, but for now it is a zip download. This zip contains a Unity project that you can open with Unity. Please unzip to a new folder, and then follow the information in the documentation link further down in this post which explains how to install Unity and open the project in Unity. Please do not share this link. This is for Creator tier backers only!
Documentation
We have created some guides to help you through the install and the creation of addons here:

Unity can take some time to learn, so please be patient with yourself! Unity is fairly intuitive after you use it for a bit, and we have tried to make the Addon Kit as easy as possible to use.
Enjoy!
