I'm not super happy with the auto focus that happens with vetala. I've been doing cloth setups and it causes the scene to zoom out super far. I may create a process setting that lets the user define a near/far clip plan for files in that process, instead of setting it automatically.

Based on user feedback there are now more changes in the files above version set to 0.3001 Fixed copy match option not working properly with groups Fixed extra shape nodes getting blown away when importing control cvs Added average_skin_weights to deform - This currently needs more than one vertex p...

Improvements TransferWeight extact falloff now supports transfer using an optimized mesh. Good for when the mesh gets really dense. Rig.set_buffer now has the option to create a shape switch under the main controls of a setup. orient joints slightly faster and now with a progress bar Copy Match now ...

If you are driving the pose by an angle, like a rotation of 90 degrees, you can set Max Distance to something like 1000.
Your pose will not change much when translated and still turn off 100% when the angle is at 0.

Just playing around with it tonight. In the options for the cone poses there is a Max Distance setting. If you change the max distance than the pose will remain on longer when translating. I tried it with a 90 degree rotation on a simple joint the skins a sphere. With a Max Distance of one the corre...

This is a known issue. This starts to happen when poses overlap. The pose tool uses a baked out delta. This is mostly to avoid writing a plugin for it. This means that overlapping poses can adversely affect each other when one delta is calculated before another. For example, if you have a pose on jo...

I will list known issues with this release here Folders in data don't work except on Maya Ascii and Maya Binary Data. This is being worked on. When creating a folder in data you need select off it and on it again. The rename doesn't update automatically. This is now fixed for the next release Hittin...

Important in this release: Fixes Fixed auto build. Won't build sub folders of folders that are not on. Some sub folder issues. They are now just called folders. -top folder- replaces default. notes are now parsed properly with an html parser to find out if they are empty. core.has_shape_of_type now ...
