Enhancement Over Character Composer

Mirror an Entire Body or a Single Part

• In CTA2.1, a mirror function is added for our users to greatly speed up the character creation process. Once they complete one side of the actor sprites, then they can simply click the Mirror button for all adjacent parts to automatically update on the other side.
• The Mirror function does just apply to an actor, but it can also be applied to single parts when mirroring poses, and angle settings from left eye to right eye.
• This function can mirror over bone transformations, pivot points, and joint mask settings.

Simplified Vector Grouping Tool

• Have you wondered how CTA can change colors by within selected name groups such as; upper, lower, and hair? Well, by using the vector grouping tool you can modify your character or prop with the same render style option, and easily adjust the color tone in one go.

• In this new update, grouping vector shapes to named parts is no longer a complicated process. Simply check the “Select Same Color” option when you click on a vector item, and all vector shapes made with the same color will be selected. Then you can assign the same Group Name to them.

Instancing With Transformation

• The biggest effort when creating a custom character is usually when generating sprites for facial expressions. Now, instead of drawing individual sprites to complete elements like eyebrows, users can simply apply the same instance to all gesture slots. They can rotate, move or scale individual sprites to generate all kinds expressions.
• Using transformation instancing, once you changed the original source sprite, you can have all the instanced shapes updated while keeping their transformation offset value.
• The same method can be applied during a pose generation procedure for eyes and mouth.

Enhanced Mask Editor for Character and Prop Composer

• In this update, users can finally remove the image background for face, body parts and props.
• Users can circle the interested area and get quick mask results by using the Auto Mode, or manually use brush and eraser, or color threshold to define foreground and background areas.
