From H19.x to H20.5.x only.
- This is a Limited Commercial Houdini Indie license release.
- New: ~5% faster (All iterators, FF(finalxform) and parametrics variations parameters data are now pre-computed).
- New: A new way of query parametric parameters values made the tool more responsive and a bit more interactive while editing.
- New: New viewport xforms handles VIZ implementation. It is now many times faster.
- New: Viewport xforms handles VIZ now turn dashed when an iterator(or FF) POST affine is activated.
- New: Viewport xforms handles VIZ now allow each iterator to be viz in SOLO mode (only display the selected iterator's viewport handle).
- New: Viewport xforms handles VIZ now allow the FF to be viz in SOLO mode (only display the FF viewport handle).
- New: Added the viewport' preferences tab option: wire width to control the curve thickness of the viewport xforms handles VIZ.
- New: When an iterator(or FF) POST affine is activated, an extra knot in the viewport handle VIZ is created to represent its post affine' pivot/offset.
- New: Viewport xforms handles VIZ will be visible up to a density value of 5M(millions) max and they will be hidden beyond that.
- New: When entering the viewport handles VIZ mode, FLAM3H will now store all viewport wire widths data and restore everything upon exiting the mode assuming no other FLAM3H node in the scene has the mode ON.
- New: Added the ability to copy/paste sections of an affine between PRE and POST affine and vice versa, for example only the X and Y or only the O or only the Rot value.
- Fix: The viewport xforms handle knot geometry had an overlapping primitive. it is now fixed.
- Fix: FLAM3H now handle some of the checks to a new one-off cvex node instead of querying the incoming FLAM3H point cloud.
- Fix: If more than 20 iterators are created while Xaos is active(current limit with Xaos), FLAM3H now won't generate any points.
- Fix: Loading a hip file with a FLAM3H node from a fresh houdini session was causing a python's AttributeError when attempting to reset to the default Sierpinski triangle. It is now fixed.
- Fix: Fixed viewport TAG not being able to read and display some data.
- Fix: Re-built viewport TAG using pre-stored data. It is now many times faster.
- Fix: Fixed FF variations: "BLOB" and "SUPERSHAPE" having their arguments in the wrong order inside: "flameff.h" file.
- Small fixes/improvements as part of an ongoing polishing pass.
- Updated HDA documentation.
This release is mostly all about the new viewport xforms handles VIZ implementation, here the updated documentation for reference.
