Releases: wonderunit/storyboarder
v3.0.0
What’s New?
Localization
Built-in support for American English, Russian, and Chinese (Simplified). Use the Language Editor to add your own! Share language files with friends! Invent a new language! Translate Storyboarder into your own secret twin language!
Emotions
Slap some personality on those faces with custom emotions you draw yourself! (And we really mean it, you have to draw them yourself. We ran out of time to add more examples).
Hair
Are your Characters due for a new 'do? Hoist luscious locks upon their heads using custom hair attachments, now in a fancy new tab! Please make and share further hair!
Runs on Apple Silicon (for your fancy new Mac you lucky duck)
It's still an Intel app, but it should run without issue now with Rosetta 2.
Better UI Scaling Options
Insert Images via Drag & Drop or Paste in Shot Generator
Introducing stbr.link
Storyboarder used to run a VR server on your local computer, but it didn't use secure HTTPS, and that stopped working in all the VR-capable browsers. So, now Shot Generator VR routes connections through stbr.link, a server operated by Wonder Unit. You can share the link with friends, and they can browse your scenes in VR, hosted by your computer, in multi-user mode. stbr.link does not store or have access to any of your data other than the basics it needs to setup connections between computers -- once you've connected to peers, your Shot Generator scenes, models, and images are transferred peer-to-peer. But keep in mind that anyone with the correct link can download Shot Generator files from your computer while VR is running.
