I was actually hoping to get this into 0.6.0 but had to cut it because of MCDFs, so, yes, it's coming! 😄

Thank you for all the support I really appreciate it! 💜

By Body Menu do you mean the Advance Appearance Window?

If so, no, what would you be looking for to go back to it? Is there something missing? (The new one has a lot of improvements!)

Oomfie mentioned he wished brio had a way to disable parenting of bones when you're posing and I realized this is information not a lot of people know. But if you select the bone you want, click on the Propagate icon and then disable Position and Rotation, it is no longer parented.

Ah I knew I was forgetting to do something! This is because of how the input system was rewritten in Brio,

This is a bug, and I will work on it! Sorry about that!

Minmoose [Ken] @minmoose.bsky.social · 1h

Thank you for the feedback I really appreciate it!

Most of what you said is on the to-do list already! ^^

I didn't know about the names for the lights, I tried to do some research on what they should be named but, found conflicting results so I just went with whatever came to mind!

Thanks again!💜

An additional message from myself about 0.6.0 and the future!

Text on an image that reads.

With over 13,000 lines of code added/changed, 3 Major new features, A plethora of smaller features and improvements Numerous system rewrites; Brio 0.6.0 is by far the largest update since 0.2.0!

I want to think everyone who has supported me this last mouth and a half especially, the support, encouragement, and kind words I have received has been overwhelming & humbling, it means so very much to me.

Another very big, Thank You, to anyone and everyone who has donated to me, or to my mother's GoFundMe, if you wish to be added to the supporter's section in Brio, please let me know with the proof of support! There are not words to express how much your support means to me.

The future of Brio is very strong, I have numerous ideas for features and improvements getting to an eventual 1.0 With the energy behind the scenes and Brio now having a sizeable amount of Mare in it, there are going to be some fun things coming up!

Text on an image that reads.

In no particular order or priority, here is a non-exhaustive list/tease of upcoming features of Brio

Improve the Brio Overlay

Add more features to Lights

Add more features to MCDFs (This one has a lot of possibilities!)

Add the Environment feature's from Ktisis

Multi-actor selection

Multi-bone selection

Finishing the Projects system

Add more features to Dynamic Face Control

More ease of use and Quality of life features

And two secret features that I have been working on for a while now

Here is the changelog:

(You can also view it in-game, on the Brio help page, or one of the two discords!)

(PS, there is now a Brio Community discord, come join us! discord.gg/GCb4srgEaH)

## Added MCDF Import and Export!
- Added support for importing and exporting MCDF files.
- MCDF obviously requires Penumbra & Glamourer.
- The experience should be as seamless as what you are used to with MCDFs.
- Further updates and features will come soon!
- Some transient files do not get saved in MCDFs, this will be fixed in a later update!
- (Animations, some body mods, some tattoos and some accessories; are examples of transient files)
- If you experience any issues with MCDFs —please— report them on the Discords or on GitHub.

## Added Dynamic Face Control!
- Dynamic Face Control lets you move the eyes and head of a given actor.
- You can make them follow the camera even!
- (More features will be added soon!)
- (Thank you, Enth for the original inspiration)

## Added Lights!
- Added Lights!
- Lights can be spawned under the `Environment` section of the Scene Manager.
- Selecting a light in the Scene Manager with the Overlay open lets you change the values of the Gizmo.
- You can open the Light window by right-clicking Environment or using the button in the overlay.
- Lights spawned with the GPOSE menu also show up in Brio.
- Lights *DO NOT* yet support Auto-Saving. This will come in a later update.
- Saving and Loading light presets will also come in a later update!

- (This feature will be added for bones in a later update)
- Added a keybind for switching between mirror modes. (Thank you for the suggestion, Persephius!)

You can import and export MCDF's with Brio now, it's in the experimental build now. Soon to be out to everyone.

If you need any help with it feel free to reach out! ^^

Minmoose [Ken] @minmoose.bsky.social · 2d

This is incorrect. No Mare clones have been approved or endorsed by darkarchon (floof), or any SeaOfStars dev for that matter. Whoever told you otherwise was wrong.
