Hi all,
Dust3D [1.0.0-beta.16][1] is now available, since the last several months'
development, the quality of the generated mesh has been improved a lot, see
[screenshot][2], shows more quads and less triangles.
This release also include the onion skinning feature of pose editor, thanks to
Toshio Araki for proposing this amazing feature, see [demonstration here][3].
Another thing worth to mention is that, thanks to bvanevery for proposing, we
have a example model built into the software, so you can open it from the menu
"Open Example" directly, let's call him Bob, there are more development
especially for motion capture feature will use this model a lot.
BTW, I have setup a forum for sharing works and discussing, welcome to join:
