    -- The full Tartarus Window now launches propperly in maya 2008 and 8.5.

   GUI CHANGE! --
    -- I feel this new GUI layout works better than the previous version of Tartarus.
     .Easier to get to the function\'s/tool\'s options
     .Save layouts
     .Show/Hide a pulldown menu in Tartarus
     .Show/Hide Function/Tool list on the left

 

   Tartarus Pulldown Menu --
    -- These pulldown options open the desired function in a new window.  This window is slim down version of the main window.  This window also loads much faster than the Tartarus Window.

 

   ALL PULLDOWNS AND WALKTHROUGHS/HELP TEXTS ARE DONE

 

   Retopping options --
     .Fixed a few issues in the functions
     .You can now use the previous verts found in vert to closest vert on the same Master or a new Master object.

 

   Hair Tools --
    -- This is the next area for Tartarus to move into
     .Easily move hair follicles over your object with sliders, select the follicle base first(NOT curve)
     .Don\'t update the sliders to move other follicles to the location of the last hair follicle.

 

   Delete Across Axis --
    -- Pick a pos/neg axis to clear the faces off of an object.

 

   Mirror/Combine Object Halves --
     .Mirror Geometry across a chosen axis
     .Move pivot to chosen axis on Combined or Mirrored geometry only, the non-combined original keeps its original pivot.  With this off, Mirrored geometry has the same pivot point but mirrored on the axis
     .Combine and merge halves is the same as it\'s been

 

   Select Closest Vert to Vert --
    -- Select components on Object 1 based on the distance per vertex on Object 2
