  • Weekly progress
    Morevna Project - 2012-07-01 17:38:12

    OK, as I promised, today we delivering you new development build of Synfig studio with some new features. The changes are:

    • Disabling keyframes. Now you can make any keyframe inactive, which means it will not influence any waypoints and not produce new ones. Disabled keyframes allow you to edit animation on different levels – just switch off the keyframes that are on your way and edit the motion “at bgger scale”. And of course you can enable them back when you want to work on motion detalization.
    • Bug fixes. We have fixed a bunch of bugs, crashing Synfig on file close event. That was required to deliver stability for the plugins feature, which uses file closing operation extensively. Also we  have delivered fixed a number of bugs related with timeline not updating on keyframe operations.

    The sources are published on github,  binary packages for linux are available at our software page. Enjoy!

    And of course we have working hard on our direct target. Nikolay did terrific work on vectorizing shots and I was working on animation. Though, I was a bit distracted by coding – I promise won’t code anything next week!

  • VO work underway
    Materia - The Awakening - 2012-07-01 13:57:14

    This comes bit late, but decided to drop an summer update.  As other things progress, so must this. An friend of mine, who shall remain unnammed for now, has taken over the VO procurement for “The Narrator”, and hopefully gets the recordings done in the end of summer. This should allow the story to be finally told, in an audiodrama form, instead of the original film format. More info shall be released later.

    Thanks, thats all for now.

  • Off topic: Cycles materials
    Makehuman - 2012-07-01 10:53:12

    Today I found a thread about an effort to make an online materials library for cycles, see http://blenderartists.org/forum/showthread.php?256334-An-Online-Material-Library-Test-the-Alpha-Add-on!

    This is a laudable effort I'd encourade people to participate in. In particular a few human skin materials would be useful.
