So if you have been in world today and spent any time building hopefully you will have noticed some big bug fixes that went live this morning.
Here are some of the things we addressed in this update:
-Hotkeys working for rotation again (Push Page UP or Page Down while holding Shift, Ctrl, or Alt to get different rotation increments) FYI when holding down these buttons you can allow use the arrow keys to move objects.
-If you have multiple objects selected and use the rotation widget the objects now rotate in unison instead of individual objects.
-Copy paste will now set the objects placed in correct rotational value.
-We have fixed the display issue when using the rotation text box. (Typing in “90″ and hitting enter would move the object to “90″ but display something like “270″)
-Object placement and movement is now back on the “Grid” (Objects will move based on whatever distance you have in the settings for build mode when Grid Snap is set to “On”.)
-Switching between Movement and Rotation will no longer carry over the “Y” Value.
We hope these updates allow you to have a better experience building.
Thank you to everyone who brought these issues to our attention.

Our technical artist was doing some thinking and he figured out that if you have made and worked on Second Life emotes, you don’t have to create brand new emotes from scratch but instead make some simple changes to the BVH files and import them straight into Kaneva.
Yes yes I know I broke the 4th wall and mentioned a competitor. I just figured if you went through all that work to create emotes in Second Life or maybe you know of an open repository of BVH animation files we think you should be able to easily bring them into Kaneva.
Here is a link to the tutorial that you can find at our wiki:

Let us know if you have feedback and send us links if you find repositories! There is a thread on our forum located here: http://forums.kaneva.com/showthread.php?t=19152
Hope you enjoy!
