Release 14

21st January 2019

Update (a)

• Major improvements to motion capture

  • Timeline now has the notion of an activity inspector or editor: click on the activity to reveal it.

  • The editor for motion capture activities includes a widget to mask which body parts the performance will drive.

  • The mocap editor also allows warp markers to be set which limit the effect of a path or time warp.

  • Grabbing the puppet body during a mocap clip allows you to adjust the body path.

  • Grabbing an IK handle during a mocap clip allows you to retarget hands and feet.

  • The mocap editor also allows you to adjust the speed of a warp segment.

  • Mocap data is stored separately to the scene to avoid unnecessary network traffic. Previously, long sessions could exceed the storage quota for a scene.

• Cameras now can have a look at target from inside the Camera TTL view you can set a focus and look at target by pointing at the screen and pressing the thumbpad

• Depth of Field is now supported on cameras – the bokeh effect is not large by default to keep post processing from impacting on performance.

• You can now choose a post processing profile for a camera allowing colour grading, bloom and other effects.

• You can adjust the aperture of the camera (and focus distance if no target) from the slider controls

• You can create a new post processing profile in the Unity Editor and then import it to the repository

• You can now import Textures for use as lighting gobos/cookies – just tag them with “Gobo”

• The WristPad will remain open if you look away while dragging items on it.

• Small improvements to HUD messages such as “Recording…”

• Major overhaul of the UI event system should make working with 2D interfaces easier

• Improved pointer beams

• Controllers are now stabilised

• Should be easier to drag UI items such as activities on timeline

• Fixed various bugs where UI pointer would be unexpectedly blocked

• Clicks only require a partial trigger press and have haptic feedback

• When inside the Asset Browser or Camera TTL the background is now flattened

• The asset browser now hides assets marked with the “broken” tag.

Update (b)

• Fix for issue with UI dropdowns and overlays in VR

• Fix for issue when asset browser would not show when menu buttons pressed

Update (c)

• Linz theatre now has revolving stages (prototype)

• Turn the stage by grabbing it and then using the radial menu left & right buttons

• Stages currently turn at 6 RPM

• Currently changes in the orientation of the stages is not recorded

• Now automatically parent things when placed on another thing (e.g. a turntable).

• Sketches also parent to the thing they are drawn on.

• Also walk path waypoints.

• Fix for some issues when loading scenes from before R14.

• Fix for issue when using the Office in VR to create a scene.

• When sketching on a surface, points should be more precisely on that surface.

Update (d)

• Upgraded to Unity 2018.3.5 for bug fix for particle effects.

• Fixed an issue where sketches can lose geometry when saved.

• Sketch scale handles should now match the current bounds of the sketch.

• Sketch measurements now include corner angles.

• Fix for crash that occurred when scaling a thing sitting on (parented to) something that has been scaled.

• Fix for issue when manipulating a thing sitting on a scaled thing.

• Fix for issue where an asset would get stuck to the controller if clicked on in the browser (instead of press and hold): an extra click will now release it.

• You can now copy your scene to a different project.

• Fixed lots of exceptions thrown when going back to the Office
