Black Dragon, the third party Second Life viewer with a cult following among hardcore graphics fans, has a new update that should improve its usability – "Fancy new tooltips, some UI improvements," creator NiranV tells me — and comes with a new feature with a lot of potential for screenshots and machinima:
"A timeline feature for animations. It's just the first step to the planned animator. Hopefully most of everything a normal non super-professional high-tech $500 animator tool can do too, like creating and editing animations in SL directly with basic functionality like adding/editing/removing keyframes export feature. Possibly some keyframe transition shenanigans and extra features like importing your poses as keyframes.
"It will basically be the poser just with keyframes and a timeline plus some extra things for animations which will replace the hacky animator in the poser."
Much more here on his blog, where you can also get the new download.
And oh yeah, consider donating to NiranV's Patreon. Because if you're using Black Dragon but not sending some dollars Niran's way, dude what the actual fuck.
