[Release] Golaem 8.2.4

[Alexandre Pillon]

Hi,

Here is a new Golaem release!

On top of the usual bug fixes and improvements, it brings a new foot locking mode in Golaem!

As you may know, the best motion quality makes the best crowds, but in case you have to deal with a less than perfect motion and the feet are sliding a bit, Golaem can now help fix it in post simulation!

Golaem 8.2.4 also brings the possibility to fully customize the Skeleton display mode of your characters, just as you can do with the physics shapes.

Note that there are deprecated and new supported versions for Arnold and Redshift.

We also added back support for Unreal 4.27.

As usual you can download the packages from https://packages.golaem.com

Cheers,

The Golaem Team
