This release includes the support of the HIK 2014 Solver, Library version 2013.2.0.
The default Solver in this release is the HIK 2014 Solver.
The major updates from the HIK 2013 Solver to the HIK 2014 Solver are:
When we stretch our spine and neck, the connective tissues that hold the cells of the body together stretch and contract with the movement thus preventing our bodies from snapping when fully stretched or contracted. Flexible Mocap introduces a greater human solving quality with the ability to define a minimum and maximum spine and neck stretch while avoiding snapping when attempting to reach the maximum and minimum stretch lengths. The HIK 2014 Solver includes Stretch solving properties for the neck and spine to produce a more realistic HIK solving.
If you have a scene in which you are using the MB Character Solver, you can switch to use the HIK 2013 Solver or the HIK 2014 Solver and the double solving behaviour remains intact when switching from one Solver to the other Solver.
This release includes the resolution of various issues to ensure the HIK 2014 Solver can be used in production in the context of the new Flexible Mocap feature and workflows.
