its true. you thought it’d never happen. 08.02 is finally a reality. it sadly isn’t the most amazing of releases, but it IS a release.

some of the highlights include – xferAnim now allows you to run post-trace commands, which can be useful for tracing objects that have different alignments. there isn’t a UI for editing post trace commands yet however… triggerator presets are alot more reliable now… finally. CST changes across the board. most of them minor improvements, but the default CST rig should be a bit nicer. i believe the stretchy arms are still a bit weird.

i haven’t included any of my python scripts in the release, but there is a python script in the SVN repository called keyUtils which has a bunch of useful animation related classes. classes such as Key, Channel, Clip and MotionPath. they still have a bit of work to be done on them, but eventually they should replace alot of the xferAnim functionality (if I can get pickle to work with the classes they’ll replace animFile as well).

anyway, given how little work i’ve done on the toolbox in the last year I can’t imagine releases will be any more frequent than a few a year. but do stay tuned.

oh and lastly, the release is now distributed as a 7-zip file instead of a .rar.  7-zip is a far superior archive format that is also open-source.  get it here.
