Release Notes

Not a real release, this was an April’s fools joke. If you’re looking for actual releases, try the other ones!

  • Headless mode for weights manipulation added; instead of error-prone and hard-to-reproduce painting in UI, you can now supply brush strokes via configuration files; plugging-in external brush event sources is also possible - check out docs for a simple cloud integration example;
  • Along with production-proven “undo” and “redo”, added “won’t do”, “doo-doo” and “just do it!” operations;
  • ngSkinTools UI is now a browser app, and you finally take advantage of features expected from a modern app, like social sharing buttons, cookie consent popups, accept-notifications confirmations, and more;
  • Added AI reviewer: ngSkinTools will simulate the rest of your team giving you various advice on your technique and your rig, but can also sometimes give insight on your Maya settings, or the art of the model itself - anything to make you successful! Annual performance reviews not yet supported;
  • Added full controller support; quickly switch between replace and smooth brush modes with a convenient up-up-down-down-left-right-left-right-B-A shortcut;
  • Local coop and online coop painting modes are now ready for production;
  • V2 documentation and lots of tutorial videos coming any day now;
  • There are no more bugs left in the plugin.
