1.Software Features

Soft Body (Beta)

Soft Body can be used for scenarios such as Underwear Fitting and Visual Effects Film;

It can be used for animation purposes;

Currently, only Simulate Accurate and Simulate CPU are supported;

It is recommended to set the stiffness value to around 5000;

The Soft Body does not support mesh subdivision.

Trim involvement in simulation (Beta)

Trim can simulate along with the fabric, reducing the occurrence of attachment penetration during animation.

Here will have three states;

-Not participating in collision;

-Participating in collisions without freeze;

-Participating in collision and freeze.

Local Subdivision—Shape Brush

The tool enables subdivision in specific areas of the pattern by adjusting the radius and particle distance.

Internal Line Loop

This tool enables the rapid creation of quilted seams for down jackets.

Internal Lines right-click menu ▶ Copy, Paste, Mirror Paste ▶ Right-click popup menu.

Oil Edge

1.Turn on  the "Oil Edge" switch in the settings.

2.The "Oil Edge" button will only appear in turned mode, where you can set the Fabric and Thickness.

Spiral

Create ruffles more efficiently.

Lock Optimization

Allow users to individually lock a specific Pattern/Line/Point/Guideline while editing other elements.

Align

Quickly align the selected patterns to tidy up the 2D Canvas.

2.Assets

Visualization control for measurement lines

-Control the display and hiding of all measurement lines in the 3D window through the floating toolbar

-Support for measurement line grouping.

-Support for measurement line symmetry function.

-In Avatar Size Editor mode, when the mouse is over the 3D Windows, a blue prompt will appear. Use the shortcut Alt+X to control the display/hide of the measurement line dimensions.

Pose Adjustment

The Pose Adjustment include Left Arm Forward or Backward, Left Arm Lateral Raise, Left Leg Lateral Raise, Right Arm Forward or Backward, Right Arm Lateral Raise and Right Leg Lateral Raise;

Used to address the issue of model penetration, it is simpler and quicker than adjusting the skeleton.

Expand Base Model (Euclidean Model)

Users can refine the model's body shape more accurately based on the Euclidean model.

Optimization of model animation

-Improved the issue of the male model walking with a bow-legged posture.

3.Interaction

Optimization of Fabric Resource Library Interaction

allowing users to search for fabrics based on three dimensions: 'Type,' 'Main Component,' and 'Weight.'

Optimization of Context Menu

Grouping right-click functions based on frequency of use, aligning with user habits.

Pen Tool Optimization

Pen

-Pen Icon Replacement

  →  

-Pen Right-Click Line Drawing Adds Angle Option

-In Pen Mode, Shift-Assisted Drawing Lines Don't Show Grids, but Retain Snap Capability (to Avoid Grid Lines Blocking)

-End Current Drawing (Optimization)

Patterns: Complete drawing by closing; Press Enter to finish drawing; Press Esc to cancel drawing.

Internal Lines: Double-click/Press Enter to finish drawing, press Esc to cancel drawing.

Curve Tool Merge

-Merge Editing Curve Point and Smooth Curve into Editing Curvature.

   →  

-Move the function of smooth curve to the right-click menu of the Edit Pattern.

-Double-clicking on a right-angle point in Edit Curve mode can transform it into a B-spline point.

The 'Add Point' function has been moved to the right-click menu in the Edit Pattern, and now allows for quantitative point addition.

-Move the Notch to the Rectangle dropdown list.

Optimize the linkage between the Scene Management Panel and other modules

Old: With four different control entries, leading to complex interrelationships.

2D/3D Windows

Toolbar

Scene Management Panel

3D Windows Right-Click Menu

New: Retain control entries for 2D/3D Windows and the Scene Management Panel;

Add a 'Pattern In Use' button in the Scene Management Panel; clicking it changes the button to 'Pattern Not In Used,' and the pattern will disappear from the 2D/3D interfaces.

The control for 'Pattern Thickness' has been moved to the 'Flat Seam(One Side)' Property Editor

previously located under the Pattern Property Editor;

and it is renamed as 'Seam Thickness.' This functionality allows for controlling the thickness direction of single-side seaming, with options for both sides, front side, and back side.
