Know that facial blendshapes are already in development for V2 ;-)

Hi Akeytsu folks!
We hope you are well. While our team is focusing on V2 features (including tasty blendshapes :-)) we do not forget you for all that.
So here's Update 1.1.0 with the very nice "Hide Skinned Mesh Vertices" allowing, f.i, to hide the empty side of your model when working your half skin, to work your skin from the inside! Vertex lasso (and ability to select front only vertices) included too.
Enjoy ;-)

Version 1.1.0 [2018/05/21]
-Hide Skinned Mesh Vertices (new command in Skin Atelier)
-Vertex Lasso Selection (available on mouse middle button in Rigging Part)
Hand-draw a closed figure (one single "click'n'drag" or several "clicks'n'drag")
-Ability to select front vertex only (pick/rectangle/lasso)

-Unified selection “Full Paint mode“: now available for Painter action and selection, vertex rectangle selection and lasso selection
-Added/Modified cursor for vertices selection
-The "+" button on the numpad expands the selection in a classic way ; no more ring stuff
-Back of the scene characters are now lighted
-Curveboard: AutoFocus when the user starts a joint selection. Autofocus when the user hides or shows channel.
-LogProgressManager now also updates the Windows taskbar
-FBX: Optimized Uvs, Normals and Colors imports
-Added scale display (disabled) in Transform window in Default and Bind Pose
-Allowed MRS transformations on meshes in Animation mode
-Akeytsu installer now installs VC Redistributable vcredist2013 and vcredist2015
-Tweaked the red, green, blue and orange colors of Akeytsu UI

-Fixed crash when pasting (transform) without animation (button was not supposed to be active in this case)
-Fixed crash when reorienting with non controllers under joints
-Fixed crash when autosave folder was not writable

-FBX: Fixed materials export
-Fixed timeline bug (cursor frame index)
-Various bug fixes (DropList rendering, crash on IK deletion, Import freeze, curveboard crash, etc.)

For all our dear users asking us the question, the answer is yes, yes and yes! Our team is already working on facial blendshapes and here's the only thing we can say about it: we are preparing something very veryyyy nice! #ItWillRock

Thanks to Duane Rutkowski and 80 Level for their great Akeytsu review!
Enjoy ;-)

Hi Akeytsu friends!

Here are some new mouse cursors we are currently working on.
Any ideas about the coming features behind it ? ;-)

Clue: the first one already half-exists in Akeytsu but the others are completely new)

Hi Akeytsu friends,

Here's a nice article about Akeytsu in the leading Animation and VFX blog " The Virtual Assist" by Amit Mozar.

By the way, you can find our previous press articles into the Press section of Nukeygara's website.

- Exported joints were not seen as joints anymore when imported in Shade3D

- In BindPose, mirroring (Skin Atelier window) when then skeleton has already been mirrored does not crash anymore
