Avastar-1-dev-734

Hello. While creating the Collision Volume Tutorial i found some annoying issues. This update contains the fixes.

Changeset:

  • Imp: Added a new option for removing weights from mesh during freeze
  • Fix: A custom mesh distorts massively when its name started with one of the following String: (‘headMesh’, ‘hairMesh’, ‘upperBodyMesh’, ‘lowerBodyMesh’, ‘skirtMesh’, ‘eyelashMesh’, ‘eyeBallLeftMesh’, ‘eyeBallRightMesh’
  • Imp: The Basis Shape key may be renamed now.(For collision shape checking)
  • Fix: Solved an incompatibility with Blender 2.61 which broke Avastar shape sliders for that version.
  • New: Avastar Armature version changed to 2 for better recognition of old blend files.

Todo’s:

  • Completing the Documentation
  • Review (and partially redo) the existing videos

Highlights:

  • None

Known bugs:

  • 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.
  • The .bvh export is broken. Workaround: Use the much more versatile .anim export instead.
