Linux Distribution

Users on Linux would have struggled with Ragdoll on Maya 2025 and above. No longer!

Technical Details

For you developers out there, the issue relates to linking and the C++ standard library. Since Maya 2025, Maya itself is linked with the "cxx11 abi", and thus the Ragdoll plug-in must be too. You'll now find both versions of Ragdoll Core in the distribution, the shared Maya library containing the bulk of Ragdoll functionality.


Group Highlighting

Sometimes, this could happen. Notice how Markers aren't being highlighted as I click on groups? Fixed!


Overlapping Menus

While using the Manipulator, your mouse could escape through overlapping menus like this. Fixed.


Under the Hood

Invisible to you, but where most of our time was spent, the Python binding library was updated

Binding Library

For you developers out there, we used to be on nanobind 1.9.2, and are now on 2.10.0!

Meaning we can generate "stubs", meaning we can do static analysis of our (embedded) Python source. Ultimately meaning greater stability for you the user, hurray!

ty and ruff

We've since employed ty and ruff to keep tabs on our Python source.

The other aspect consuming our time was further preparation for stage 2, the Standalone and Web versions of Ragdoll, which will be landing soon!
