⚡️ Improvements

• Multiple folds in 3d

  • You can conduct ‘fold in 3d’ multiple times on a pattern

    

• Change curve creation method

  • We benchmarked Adobe Illustrator.
  • The point on the curve will be created as a smooth point as a default.
  • When you click the point during curve creation, it will be changed into a non-smooth point. So, the former curve shape will not affect the next curve shape.
  • Undo action doesn't make curve drawing stop. You can draw curves continuously after undo

• Distinguish simulation mode and design mode

  • You can check the current mode on the below.

• Measure disconnected curves' lengths using a measurement tool.

  • You can measure disconnected curve length like a sewing tool.

• Remove history data on zls

  • Its file size is too big, and there is a chance of malfunction because it contains old history.

• Add avatar assets

  • Woman’s shoes and hair are updated
  • Man’s shoes are updated

• Change avatar accessories during a simulation

• Avatar speed change during a simulation

  • If the avatar animation starts too fast, you can set animation speed as 0 and then speed up after draping

• Show no avatar when switching avatar type for the first time

• Allow to keep tacks when changing avatar

  • Yes ) Remove all tacks and change the avatar
  • No ) Keep the tacks and change the avatar

• Import OBJ avatar’s texture

• Importing custom OBJ assets

  • You can import OBJ assets as a folder

• Allow Default Stitch duplication

• Button alignment

  • Align buttons like buttonholes

• Keep the original size of the artwork

  • The program will detect the original size of the artwork. So you don't need to drag when adding a new artwork.
  • The preview will show you the original size of the artwork.

• Image capture as shown in 3d view

  • You can capture the pressure map and wireframe with 3D capture

• Add simulation properties name

  • collision force/ collision relaxation
  • untangling force/ untangling relaxation

• Jittering/Untangling/Layer improvement

  

• Minor improvements

  • Update translation

  • Update EULA&OSS

  • Update the rozy file version

  • Update zw icon/splash/wizard

  • Add a link on the message dialogue "zw is already running"

  • Update copyright 2024

  • Widen snap range on 3D gizmo

  • Show pin/tack properties at the same time if both types are selected

  • Guideline snap

  • Shortcuts for message box

    e.g. Press Y → Yes/ Press N → No

  • Support to import the PAD DXF files

  • Make curves selected when creation done

  • Add some context menu

    • Surface(2D/3D) - Hold/Harden/Collision
    • Curve(2D) - Surface tool

🔄 Changes
