Weekly Dev Log for August 27th, 2018
Hello everyone, and welcome to the Weekly Dev Log for the week of August 27th, 2018. Here’s what the dev team was up to this week! Note: Devs that don’t appear in the weekly log are not necessarily away or not doing work, but may be working on things currently not announced or backend work that doesn’t need to be detailed.
Workshop
Mac has continued getting workshop closer for a first release, fixing various bugs, allowing custom player models to support our weapon animations, the ability to rescale player models, and adding more ways to preview your workshop meshes when in the editor. Rob also fixed the collisions of imported models to allow for physics based objects.
