Nukeygara has announced the official release of Akeytsu, its next-gen rigging and animation software, following over two years in beta.

The software, which will ship on 25 October 2017, features a flamboyantly non-standard user interface, and what Nukeygara describes as “several time-saving industry-first tools”.

Blendshape-based facial animation and better mocap support planned for future releases
Further off, Charrier says that Nukeygara has a “huge line-up” of features planned for Akeytsu 2.0, including dedicated tools for editing mocap data, and dynamic asset linking.

The firm also aims to introduce support for blendshape-based animation: while it is currently possible to create facial animation in Akeytsu, it relies on a bone-based facial rig.

Pricing and availability
Akeytsu 1.0 is due to ship on 25 October 2017 for Windows Vista and above. An Indie licence, for artists or studios making under $200,000/year, has an MSRP of $179; a Pro licence has an MSRP of $589.

The software is currently still available at early access pricing; and there is also a non-commercial Learn licence, which is available free to students and teachers at qualifying educational institutions.
