Brandy Texture Link 2D was previously named Brandy 2D Link. Version 1.1.0 is the first public release under the new name.

The rename came with a major overhaul of the core workflow, including PSD document import, Split Merge Layers, transparent-area controls, Alpha reference updates, and a streamlined UI designed around practical day-to-day use.

Users who received an older version have already been provided with the new release.

To keep the GIF demos concise, waiting periods have been shortened. Actual processing time varies with project size and hardware performance. The character shown in the demos comes from a real Blender project with 49 2D sprites, bones, and animation.
