Just started using the program and loving how robust it is so far despite it's simplicity, but there's a few features I would like to see tweaked or added if possible that would make it so much more *chef's kiss*
Pain points
- Better layer manager. As it stands, I'm running out of layers, and I've had to resort to changing the names of the files since I noticed that they auto sort alphabetically. More layers would be nice too, but when I realize I need to adjust everything to accommodate something I've added, it would be nice to be able to simply insert the asset where I want it, rather than having to manually adjust every single other asset around it up or down layers.
-Animated gif support. I was using animated gifs in Veodotube to support other expressions and movements outside of what either program can do, and I've been struggling to find workarounds so I can still include some of the work I'd done before. In general this would allow people to include far more complex animations and movements that I bet are probably just beyond the program.
-UI adjustments. I would LOVE some kind of ability to simply type in the exact value I want on all the sliders. Most of my avatar has between 2-4 points of cursor tracking on each asset to simulate a little more movement and depth and it's is downright painful trying to hit those settings via a slider on a scale of 0-500.
Things I would just like
-Ability to set blink frequency and randomization, PER asset. I'm currently working around the lack of animated gif support by putting secondary frames on the blink. ie: I have a pair of hands holding a controller that presses buttons on the blink, and a pair of eyes that cry tears on the blink, and they would both look better if it could happen more frequently, but I would also like the ability to tweak the blink frequency in general for the eyes too, not just as a workaround for lack of animated gif support.
- Cuter/smoother bounce. Current bounce (and rotate on speech) movements are ... kind of janky. Would love if they were smoother, or had the ability to adjust the smoothness. ie: easing out of the movement so it looks a little more natural, bobbing instead of jerking.
-Preset or customizable bounce/movements NOT on speech, PER asset. (or other preset movement types) Sort of an addendum to the above. My character has a tail which I've currently got some rotate on speech and some cursor tracking to try to give it a little sway and it would look way better smoother, but it would also be nice of it just sort of bobbed on it's own without needing input from me. I think this would look great for characters that also have things floating around them, like idk magic orbs, or little floating robot pals etc, so I'm sure it has some other utility.
Also this is something I've just noticed and not sure if it can be fixed, but cursor tracking stops working in games that take over the cursor and turn it in to camera control, such as Genshin Impact.
