Good news, a new PyCarrara release is available from http://pycarrara.sourceforge.net

This release includes new exciting features:

• MIDI file support
• Python scripting from "File/Import" menu
• key frames management for all animated parameters (object position/rotation, shaders parameters, light parameters, ...)
• early implementation of the walk cycle designer

The syntax is different from 0.1-alpha: please check the sample scenes coming with the distribution.

Here are two examples of what is possible with the new features :

• A fully procedural walk cycle: the robot trajectory is defined with a standard "Motion path". The swing and feet keyframes are automatically computed with a Python script
• A keyboard driven by a MIDI file

These scenes and scripts are available in the distribution file.

You can watch the rendered animations here :
