New Version – Zoo Tools Pro 2.4.3

  • upgrades, zoo tools

This version adds two new tools Maya Scenes and Manage Nodes .

We’ve released a new Rig Pack . The Rhino model, Octopus and Robo rigs have been added. You can download those from the Zoo Tools Pro Install Page and browse the files in the new Maya Scenes tool.

Create 3d Characters.com has had a major site upgrade and Zoo Tools Pro 2 is now public!

All text boxes now support middle-click-drag sliders. Drag with middle-click on the text boxes and all numeric textboxes will become virtual sliders. Hold control to slow and shift to go faster. Please note our virtual sliders may cause multiple undo steps and we will fix that later.

Displacement Manager has had a critical bug fix.

New hotkeys, please Update Hotkeys in the Zoo Preferences Window

Zoo Preferences Window > Zoo Hotkey Editor > Update Zoo Hotkeys

We’ve continued to add more backend work to better support the Hive autorigger, coming soon. And numerous small bug fixes.

New Tool – Maya Scenes:
Maya Scenes has been added to support our rig downloads and Rhino. This tool will become a fully fledged Maya scenes browser in time. Grab the new Maya Scenes rig pack from the Zoo Tools Pro Install Page .

New Tool – Manage Nodes:
The Manage Nodes tool helps removes unknown plugin files and gives you the ability to lock and unlock nodes in the outliner.

New Hotkey – Cycle Through Cameras:
Ctrl Shift k cycles through all the perspective cameras in the scene. Ctrl Alt k cycles through all cameras in the scene.

New Hotkey – Open Shader Manager:
Ctrl Alt m opens the Zoo Shader Manager .

Bug Fix – Displacement Manager:
Fixed a fatal error with the Displacement Manager , should be fixed now.

Bug Fix – Area and Direction Lights:
Fixed a bug where intensity wasn’t working in the light UIs.

Bug Fix – Area Lights:
Clicking on “Light Name” in the Area Light tool works again.

Known Issue – Undo For Controls
Undo is broken for Control Creator , Duplicate Along Curve and Joints On Curve . Will be fixed in the next release.
