Some of the new features to be available in CAT v2: extra bones (may be used as facial bones, stomach bones, weapon bones, etc.), animated bounce and stretch, new IK system, time warp curves (use a single spline curve to speed up, slow down or reverse a whole animation layer), edit rig mesh (save your perfect proxy meshes as rig presets). According to Character Animation Technologies' homepage, those who buy CAT v1.4 now will get the new version for free; existing users can upgrade to CAT v2 for $295. Visit CAToolkit.com for more.
