0.49.0.0
Improvements
ArnoldAttributes : Added
shadowGroup
attribute for performing shadow linking (#2754).ScaleTool : Added handles for scaling in the XY, XZ and YZ planes (#2760, #2664).
RotateTool : Added support for free rotation by dragging on a virtual sphere (#2760, #2664).
TranslateTool : Made XY, YX and YZ handles more visible (#2760, #2664).
Translate/Rotate/Scale tools :
Catalogue (#2702) :
Multiple images may now be selected.
The selected images can now be deleted via the
Delete
andBackspace
keys.Images can now be reordered using drag and drop.
OSLObject/OSLImage : Added support for more vector type conversions. Among other things, this allows Color4fData primitive variables to be read as
color
values in OSLObject, by discarding the alpha channel (#2759).GraphEditor : Added icons for Box and Reference nodes (#2762).
Improved error message when a dependency cycle is detected. The error now includes the names of the plugs involved (#2745).
AnimationEditor :
SceneReader/SceneWriter (Cortex 10.0.0-a29) :
Added support for scalar attributes in Alembic files.
Added support for quaternion primitive variables in Alembic files.
MeshTangents : Added support for non-triangular faces (Cortex 10.0.0-a30).
VDB : Added support for float and double metadata (Cortex 10.0.0-a31).
Fixes
TypedObjectPlug : Fixed GIL management bug that could result in the application hanging during operations such as choosing AOVs in the image viewer (#2765).
ScriptNode : Fixed GIL management bug that could result in the application hanging during operations such as cut & paste (#2780).
GraphEditor :
Fixed connection visibility context menu items so that they respect the read-only status of nodes (#2757).
Omitted connection visibility context menu items from the menu for auxiliary nodes, since such nodes do not have hideable connections (#2752, #2757).
Fixed bookmark drawing update bug (#2763).
Fixed plug label visibility bug (#2761).
AnimationEditor (#2768) :
Fixed bugs with framerates other than 24fps.
Fixed selection management bug.
Improved numerical precision of keyframe dragging.
Backdrop : Made resizing undoable (#2734).
FileMenu : Closing a backup confirmation dialogue now aborts loading completely (#2749).
Isolate : Fixed filter matching bug in set computation (#2748).
Translate/Rotate/Scale tools : Fixed context management bug (#2760).
CollectScenes : Replaced bogus ArrayPlug input with ScenePlug (#2726).
Catalogue :
Offset : Fixed hangs caused by empty data windows (#2770).
VDB : Fixed crashes caused by thread-safety bug. This manifested most commonly when instancing VDB objects (Cortex 10.0.0-a30).
Seeds : Fixed cancellation bug (Cortex 10.0.0-a31).
SceneReader : Fixed crashes caused by thread-safety bug in AlembicScene (Cortex 10.0.0-a32).
API
Dispatcher : Fixed crashes caused by passing
None
toframeRange()
method in Python (#2716).Added AttributeVisualiser.h to installation (#2744).
ConfirmationDialogue :
waitForConfirmation()
now returnsNone
if the user closes the dialogue (#2749).StandardStyle (#2760) :
Added support for XY,XZ and YZ axes in
renderScaleHandle()
.Added support for XYZ rotation handle in
renderRotateHandle()
.
Handle : Added
rasterScaleFactor()
protected method (#2760).MetadataAlgo : Added
bookmarkedAffectedByChange()
method (#2763).GraphComponent (#2767) :
Added python binding for
del graphComponent[childIndex]
.The original child order is now restored when undoing calls to
removeChild()
.
DependencyNode : Fixed crashes caused by Python derived classes returning
None
fromaffects()
overrides (#2771).ViewportGadget : Added support for enabling/disabling drag tracking separately in each axis (#2724).
