Updated Infomation

Recommended System Requirements

Updated Contents

  • The maximum number of performers has been increased to 3,000 (high PC specifications are required).
  • Process optimization has been implemented to ensure smoother performance with large numbers of performers.
  • The Mirror Tool now supports selecting multiple sheets, allowing mirrors to be applied to sub-sheets and groups of sheets at once.
  • The axis angle of the Mirror Tool can now be adjusted, enabling vertical and diagonal mirroring.
  • When no texture is specified during an instrument change, the default texture is now applied.
  • Fixed an issue where direction arrows were displayed too thin.
  • Changed the behavior so that when a turn setting is canceled, the turn from the previous sheet is inherited.
  • Adjusted the physical behavior of flags.
  • Fixed an issue where audio playback would stop when the output sound device (such as earphones or headphones) was changed.
  • Fixed a bug where resetting to Pose 0 in the Pose Library caused incorrect behavior.
  • Fixed an issue where switching between fullscreen and windowed mode did not work correctly on some versions of Windows.
  • Fixed a bug where sub-sheet numbering was not updated when certain sheets were set to be excluded from printing.
  • Corrected an error in the warning display
  • Added a fallback when the server is congested due to AI-based count generation
  • Modified the FTP upload logic to enhance security
  • Changed the interpolation feature so it is no longer limited to sub-sheets and can now interpolate between any selected sheets.
  • Renamed “Sub-sheet Interpolation” to “Sheet Interpolation” to reflect the updated functionality.
  • Fixed a bug where sub-sheet numbers were not updated when some sheets were set to not be printed.
  • Fixed an issue where positions were unintentionally changed when specifying Z positions across multiple sheets.
  • Corrected incorrect button labels in warning messages.
  • Fixed unintended behavior when moving bounding boxes or performers using the drag selection tool.
