Highlights:
- Templates for improved quickstart
- Complete rework of the Toolshelf buttons
- Initial mesh LI calculator (work in progress)
- Normal welding of boundary seams during Collada export
Unresolvable bugs (not fixed for Avastar-1.0):
- The Spine attachment bone has a wrong orientation. Thus attachment animations of the aSpine bone will turn the bone upside down. Only the aSpine bone is affected. For all other bones animations work just fine. No workaround known.
Todo’s:
- Finish the Download weights calculator
- Add the Physics Weight calculator
- Comple the Documentation
- Review (and partially redo) the existing videos
