We’ve added support for traditional 2D paper-based productions! 🗒️✏️

You’ll now see a new 2D (Paper) style when creating a production. 🆕

Selecting this option allows the app to track drawings instead of frames, making it easier to manage workflows and report statistics based on paper counts instead of frames. 📄➡️🖼️

Perfect for studios working with hand-drawn animation! 🎨🖋️✨

------------------------------------------------------------

A brand-new Budget section is now available under the Project menu! 📊

🔹 Track expense distribution and monitor cost evolution over time for your hired crew

🔹 Create multiple budget versions to plan for different scenarios

🔹 Admins can now enter daily rates at the person level, which are used when that person is assigned to a crew role

🔹 For predicted hires, you can use a seniority-based placeholder, and corresponding salary scale

These new tools make it easier than ever to forecast, compare, and manage production costs with accuracy. 🧮 💼 ✅

The Production Schedule page just got a boost! Now it’s even easier to stay on top of your work:

All about making your day a little smoother! 💼⚡

A new Zoom & Pan option is now available when reviewing media in the Playlists! 🖼️

When enabled, use your mouse wheel to zoom in and click-drag to pan around your image. Perfect for quickly narrowing in on small details 🔎 and seamlessly switching between full-frame and close-up views. 🎯

We’ve made it easier to find what you need! 🔍

From the All Tasks page, you can now filter tasks by 🏢 and 🧩.

Quickly narrow down your task list and stay focused on what matters most. ✅

Navigating shot lists just got easier! 🚀

📌– On devices with smaller screens or when working with extensive metadata, you can now click and drag within the shot list to pan across the page smoothly, ensuring quick access to all your information.

We’ve added a new way to browse preview files within an entity’s detail page! 🚀

📌 – Instead of just a list, you can now view preview files as a contact sheet, making it easier to scan through visuals at a glance.

We’ve introduced new buttons that make adding asset task previews to your playlists smoother and more efficient! 🚀

We’re thrilled to announce a highly requested improvement to Kitsu’s drawing annotations: Pen Pressure Support! 🖊️✨

🎨 Dynamic Line Thickness

Pen pressure now adapts line thickness based on how much pressure you apply, giving you more control and precision.

🖌️ Wide Device Compatibility

Most major styluses are supported for a smooth and natural drawing experience.

⚙️ Pressure Simulation for Non-Supported Devices

If you’re using a non-supported device, such as a mouse, Kitsu will automatically simulate pressure based on the distance between path points.

This upgrade brings a more intuitive and professional drawing experience to Kitsu, helping you provide clearer, more precise feedback. 🚀

We’re excited to introduce support for animation loops in Kitsu’s 3D model viewer! This update makes working with .glb previews more interactive and flexible. Here’s what’s new:

🎞️ Automatic Animation Playback

When viewing a 3D model with animations, the viewer now automatically starts an animation loop for a seamless experience.

🔄 Multiple Animation Loops

If your .glb file contains multiple animation loops, you can now easily select which animation to play, giving you full control over your previews.

This feature enhances your ability to preview and review animated 3D assets directly in Kitsu. 🚀
