Thanks for the feedback guys... Well as I mentionned, it's not going to happen any time soon.
I'll push to release a brand new tool this year that is also a rig builder but slightly different from Gear. There might be some facial stuff but not that much because it's just not the way we are doing it at Blur so I'm not working on stuff like that right now. The new tool as much more advanced connection of components and allows for very interesting use of some sliding and volume preservation components. It is similar to what you can find in the Blur Tools already but much more flexible and easy to use. Szabolcs, you can fix the knee/elbow controller issue by deleting the controller from the guide. I know it's not a great design but at least there is a workaround for this one. ;-) On 9 April 2013 00:04, Szabolcs Matefy <szabol...@crytek.com> wrote: > Hi Jeremie,**** > > ** ** > > **1. **Facial stuff would be awesome**** > > **2. **We talked a year ago or so about sliding and volume > preserving stuffs, that would be fantastic too**** > > **3. **To me the lines from the knee and elbow controllers to the > joint is always off (not pointing into the direction of the joint, but off > the center of the joint)**** > > ** ** > > Cheers**** > > ** ** > > ** ** > > Szabolcs**** > > ** ** > > *From:* softimage-boun...@listproc.autodesk.com [mailto: > softimage-boun...@listproc.autodesk.com] *On Behalf Of *Jeremie Passerin > *Sent:* Monday, April 08, 2013 9:01 PM > *To:* softimage > *Subject:* Re: Is there a new version of GEAR being planned?**** > > ** ** > > Hey guys, **** > > ** ** > > Thanks for the support.**** > > As Sebastien says, Blur is keeping me very busy now...
