Release 12

22nd August 2018

Update (a)

• Rigid animation:

• Select the Time Tool and then point at a thing and grab with the trigger to record some motion

• The path can be editted afterwards using the Grab Tool

• Puppets can now be placed on things (e.g. Lottie on the trampoline)

• The WristPad now includes a Web Browser (Chromium). Initially this is just used to show a Quick Reference Guide but more soon…

• Mocap from Rokoko Smartsuits can now be managed from the WristPad:

• Assign a suit directly to a puppet without VR control

• Calibrate a suit

• Fixed issue with Multi Select getting stuck

• Fixed issue when grabbing a scaled object and the pivot point jumped.

• Fixed direction of tilt control in camera TTL view.

• Fixed: changing the FOV of a camera now records a keyframe

• Fixed issue with calibrating Smartsuit against a puppet (was using bind pose instead of t-pose).

• Fixed issue when replaying a puppet’s walk and the puppet did not animate

• Fixed layout issue with lights on the Wristpad

• The Lighting Controls will now show the last light moved

Update (b)

• Speech recognition has been re-enabled (oops)

• Say “Help” to summon a floating browser

• You can now animate an IK handle with the Time Tool (as with a rigid body)

• Support for asset bundles built for a specific platform (iOS or Win64)

• Architecture support for Obi Cloth dynamics

• Deleting a character should now clean up all paths, start/end handles etc.

Update (c)

• Calibrate button on Mocap Controls is now enabled when a puppet is assigned.

• Mocap Controls have a record arm flag to control whether the puppet shows live/replay

• The Rokoko Smartsuit Studio should now be running at the same time with forwarding enabled to port 14043

• This allows use of the filters such as Locomotion from the Studio

• Lighting controls can now be keyframed like cameras – just change either intensity or spot angle while record is armed.

• Fixed issue with character sometimes spinning on a waypoint

Update (d)

• Mocap is now applied to a proxy skeleton and then retargetted to the puppet skeleton. (Default body shape only)

• Mocap armed flag is cleared when recorded mocap is played back – can be reset from WristPad.

• You can now set a keyframe on a camera just by moving it (with the Hand tool)

• Time Tool can now animate selected groups of things at the same time

• Drawing a shape on an uneven floor will now make it exactly vertical.

• Fixed issue where the Airbrush did not reset after using “Wallpaper” mode

• Fixed issue when deleting something with rigid animation

• Fixed issue with menu button sending a commit message to currently selected UI element

Update (e)

• Fixed rotation compensation on performer that was causing problems with hip bends.

• If a broken asset bundle is found in the cache, it will now be deleted and re-downloaded.

• Lighting panel no longer resets current light when WristPad hides/reappears

• Fixed issue with cameras showing up in the wrong place in the Asset Browser

• Reset scene on load to ensure cameras reflect keyframes

Update (f)

• Reduced framerate for rendering cameras that are just being monitored – should improve performance with lots of cameras

• Fixed issue with camera focal length being reset in the Camera Sequencer view.

• Fixed issue where entering TTL mode would reset focal length and set a rogue keyframe.

• Fixed issue when trying to assign one of several suits to a puppet.

Update (g)

• Fixed issue where scale would reset after using the scale handles and moving the timeline.
