| − | We've added PRECISION WEIGHT CONTROL alignment that allows you to completely turn off certain sections of the tube for alignment or give emphasis to any section just by setting weights from 0 to 1000.<br><br>
| |
| − | A weight of "0" tells VTube to ignore the point completely in alignment. A weight of 1 means give it 1 times the normal weight. A weight of 2 means give it double weight.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | This shows emphasis given to end A. Note that some of the alignment weights are ZERO - which means that those points are ignored in the alignment.<td>
