CHANGELOG

v.1.0

• Original release
  

v.2.0 (a.k.a. the "easy to use" update)

• « Mouth » and « Mouth Hole » objects are now parented by default
• Now you can control everything using only the « Mouth » node menu (you’ll still have to access the « Mouth Hole » menu to add the « inside mouth » material)
  
• Complete reworked and reorganised menu (with collapsing categories)
  
• Added some optional controls for the « Mouth Hole » to adjust it if needed
  
• Now you can also bend the « Mouth » on the « X » axis to match any surface
  
• Fixed all « Holes » meshes (to avoid teeth issues when hiding the lips)
  
• Changed some teeth and tongue placements to avoid clipping
  
• Replaced the « show / hide » slider for each tooth by a simple checkbox (to enable / disable each tooth)
  
• The included « invisible » material (when a tooth is « disabled ») is now compatible with both Cycles AND Eevee. (hidden teeth won’t show at all instead of having a black color)
  
• Added a collection called « Shape Cards » with all mouth shapes as images (to see each mouth shape with their number directly in the viewport)
