[size=150]What Is New[/size]
New Genome Features
- New ElementQuery operator for getting Area, Volume and Centroid of indexed element.
- New ElementArea, ElementVolume and ElementCentroid channels accessible in Face and CFV modes.
- New EulerAnglesToQuat and AngleAxisToQuat operators for performing rotation operations instead of using the QuatFromAngleAndAxis BLOP.
- ToSpace/FromSpace now accept a second input to define the reference object using an InputObject node.
- The Auto-Update checkbox is now exposed in the Modifier’s UI.
- New option to Clamp vertex Soft-Selection in the 0.0 to 1.0 range. When checked, the Soft-Selection will be limited to values between 0.0 and 1.0, and vertices with selection of 1.0 will get hard-selected (red ticks). When unchecked, the Soft-Selection can contain arbitrary values, and only vertices with a value of exactly 1.0 will get hard-selection. Default is CHECKED, be sure to uncheck if you want to use negative or greater than 1.0 selection values.
New MagmaFlow Features
- InputChannel nodes can now be exposed to the Modifier’s UI.
- The TexmapEval operator can now be exposed to the Modifier’s UI.
- The Curve operator can now be exposed to the Modifier’s UI.
- Added new “Mapping Only” sort/filter mode to InputChannels, removed Krakatoa-specific filters when in Genome (like Naiad, Fume, Hair etc.)
New Preset Saving Features - All relevant modifier properties (iteration mode, remove degenerate faces, clamp selection) are now saved with the preset and restored when applied.
- Adding a Transform op to an existing flow will switch the transform mode to “Normal” if the preceding node is a Normal or FaceNormal InputChannel. If the preceding node is another Transform op, its mode will be copied into the new node.
Genome Bug Fixes - Vertex Soft-selection was being converted incorrectly to Hard Selection via > 0.0 instead of == 1.0.
- The conversion to Hard Selection was not thread-safe and produced random fluctuations. It is now performed in a single-threaded second pass.
- Applying a Genome to a PRT object caused problems.
- InputScript was not updating the modifier on time changes.
MagmaFlow Bugfixes - Fixed the pasting of nodes inside a BLOP
- InputChannel and OutputChannel defaulted to “Color” when created via the Depot. The InputChannel will now default to Position or FaceCenter, Output will use the same algorithm as when using Ctrl+O or the RCMenu.
- The Debugger now updates only once when opened and when the UPDATE button is pressed, or a node is added/deleted. A progress bar shows the update progress.
- The Debugger now shows the Min., Max. and Mean values of each column. These three lines can be turned on and off from the Debug menu.
- The Debugger now has Previous and Next buttons for fast scrolling through pages by the Count value.
- Fixed Krakatoa dependency in Curve Editor. It should work now even if Krakatoa is not installed.
- The sorting of MappingN channels in FaceQuery and VertexQuery was off, it should be right now.
Misc. - Installer was missing merge modules.
