Improved IK system, FBX export, Valve Index controllers support
and other fixes
November 12, 2020
With this update we introduce you some details of our regular improvements and fixes.
Improved IK system
It's been 2 month since we've released a ground-breaking IK system, which is highly evaluated by our users.
Now you can use Arm IK not only on the entire hand, but for the hand wrist, particularly. Besides that, there is a new additional controller for shoulders.
Old version:
Arm IK controller used to be linked with phalange bones only.

Now:
Arm IK can be applied to a hand wrist.
Arm IK can be applied to a hand wrist.
The whole stability of IK system was improved:
- Fixes in case of applying several IKs at once for one particular character or within a single bone chain. For example, when you add IK to both an arm and spine, it'll look as much as natural due to coherent logic of movements.
- IK's Undo / Redo fixes.
- Added support for Reset Pose option for characters with configured IK.
New interface and features in 2D menu and settings
UI convenience is constantly developing. You're enabled
- to switch between different cameras of the scene;
- to control the playback of animation and the current active view, e.g. it can be displayed from eyes perspective or from the selected camera.
All functions are duplicated on the hotkeys. To check out detailed information about it, press the Hotkeys button in the Display mode menu.
Improved video editing
It becomes easier to pre-configure the playback sequence and cameras' export. The logic of creating new cameras and PlayView has also been improved.
Additionally, there is a new UI for the switching setup between cameras.
Saving tools position on your scenes
One of the most noteworthy improvements — now all tools and their basic settings are saved for each scene!

Valve Index controllers
Pay attention please! To make controllers work correctly in Tvori — you need to set up bindings in SteamVR.
Check out the video below to get acquainted how to activate them at the Tvori's index controllers.

Export to FBX
To make your working process more time efficient and convenient, new FBX exporting options were implemented:
Bake Material combines materials with the same settings into one, thus preventing multiple generation of the same materials.
Embedded Media — the textures used on the models are packaged to fbx file, so there's no need to archive separate texture files into one manually.

- Notification system has been improved
- Authorization system has been improved
