Sneak Peak on Upcoming Beta 2 Features

In addition to streamlining playback and fixing bugs, several features have been added to Stykz that will be available in Beta 2 in addition to Pivot .stk import:

  • Most menus have new shortcut keys added to make it easier to access those menu items

  • A new "Export Frame" menu item gives you the ability to export the current frame to a PNG, JPEG, or GIF image (in either Edit or Preview modes)

  • A new "Revert to Saved" menu item allows you to ditch all changes made since the last save

  • New buttons on the Library palette let you get quick access to the folder where .styk files are stored so you can move them in and out and refresh the list

  • The display of static and hidden segments (and their nodes) was modified depending on whether a figure is currently selected or not, and with which tool.



These changes should allow for easier animating and more flexibility while working with Stykz. And there's more to come!
