Bug Fixes and Improvements
-
Line MAT - The following fixes will result in previous settings rendering differently. See BACKWARD COMPATIBILITY below.
-
The design for line width was such that a line width of 1 means 1/1000 of the width of the rendered image ((i.e. it is resolution-independent). Since a few builds back, it was half the expected width.
-
By default, the line width is independent of the Camera's Perspective field-of-view viewing angle or the Orthographic Ortho Width. The toggle "Width Affected by FOV/Ortho Width", which affects the line width based on viewing angle or ortho width, was fixed: When the viewing angle is 90 degrees, the line width is the same as if the toggle was off, and when On and the viewing angle decreases, the line width goes up. The same thing happens when the Ortho Width is 1 and below 1.
-
the Line Width Near default now 4 (vs 1) and the Line Width Far default to 2 (vs .1).
-
exposed the Triangle Width parameter for End Caps.
-
Fixed point size in ortho camera.
-
-
OpenVR updated to v1.4.18
-
Helios DAC CHOP - Fixed crash when no device selected.
-
Laser CHOP - Fixed bug in Every Frame update method where fewer input points caused long tails.
-
Laser CHOP - Blanking bug fixes.
-
Audio Device In CHOP - Fixed crash when unplugging/replugging audio devices.
-
Bullet Solver CHOP - Fixed inaccurate collision values.
-
Movie File In TOP - Fixed sequences of .tga files not loading correctly.
-
GLSL TOP - Using multiple passes now works better with compute shaders when not clearing the output.
-
Ramp TOP - Fixed some artifacts that can occur on the edge pixels in some cases.
-
Touch In TOP - Fixed crash when there is a mismatch between the data and data type, width, height, source format, etc.
-
Video Stream In TOP - Fixed a crash that can occur when input resolution changes.
-
Web Render TOP - Properly loads files using project relative paths.
-
Text TOP - Fixed a crash that can occur when using the .textHeight Python member.
-
Text TOP - Fixed rendering error that can occur when only rendering a whitespace character.
-
Lookup DAT - Fixed crash when lookup table input has no rows/columns.
-
TUIO In DAT - Fixed cases where events sometimes generated move or end without initial start.
-
Keyboard In DAT - Fixed missing character information on macOS.
-
Field COMP - Improved handling of arrow keys input.
-
Replicator COMP - Fixed multiple calls to onReplicate during replication.
-
macOS - Fixed issue where moving a window between monitors with different DPIs would result in incorrect rendering of the contents.
-
Preferences Dialog - New preference for 'Tumbling Pivot Visible' to globally enable/disable the pivot icon in 3D viewers.
-
Fixed Geometry Viewer pane's view (space bar) and select (s key) keyboard shortcuts.
-
Operator Info popup dialog now includes more readable averaged cpu / gpu cook times.
-
Reset parameter pulse monitoring after allow cook changes.
Backward Compatibility
-
BACKWARD COMPATIBILITY - OpenVR CHOP - The update to OpenVR's new input system means projects using the old input system will need to be updated to the use the new action based system now used in v1.4.18
-
BACKWARD COMPATIBILITY - Line MAT - The following fixes will result in previous settings rendering differently. We apologize for the changes.
-
Changed Width Near/Far defaults.
-
In Perspective Camera FOV is 90 degrees the "Width Affected by FOV/OrthoWidth" toggle being ON is the same as being OFF.
-
Changed FOV calculationand now with bigger FOV the line gets thinner.
-
Change to Line Width thickness formula.
-
Inverse the ortho camera width.
