Cheetah3D 7.0 - Early Adopters Beta 14

updated material thumbnails

I can see that the material thumbnails are different, but what is the improvement?

Thanks, Shift Studio.

Hi,
that doesn't mean that mathematical expressions are evaluated.:redface: You can enter precise numerical values to position vertices, edges, spline control points, etc. Both in the local and the global coordinate system.

The precise positioning was quite a pain before that feature.

The evaluation of mathematical expressions within the text fields is still on my todo list.

Ah ok thanks! Very neat indeed. Will wait for whenever you can add the expressions. :D
 
Check if some of the error messages with the console.app are triggered by Cheetah3D.

Please also check if all files in the Open Recent menu fail or if just some don't work.

Only three recent files now, but none open.

Here is the Console output from the first try.

Hi ZooHead,
thanks for the console output that helped me a lot. I guess I introduced a bug while I fixed another.:redface:

I have to digg a little bit deeper in the problem.

Bye
Martin
 

Good idea, I'll try again after dinner.


I found the problem. I used an OS X function call which is just available in OS X 10.10 and newer. That's why it fails on your OS X 10.9.5. My fault. Sorry. :redface:

I will fix that soon.

Bye
Martin
 
I just upgraded! :cool:

Thanks for cleaner bool mods and speedy rendering on my old i5.

My biggest hope is that Falcon will do volumetric fx some days.

Have you discovered the "Ghosted" property for Polygon Objects yet?
Nice!:icon_thumbup:
You can see through the objects and easily know whether you are on their front or back side.
The back side shows extremely thin diagonal unobtrusive dark lines.

Attached are front and back views of a Plane with "Ghosted" checked.

My Best 2U
Jeanny

Strange - Where do custom (user created) materials reside?

I created two user materials and saved them in Cheetah 3d...
They are visible and selectable via the interface - but are not in the respective material folder when locating with via finder. I wanted to delete the materials - but can't find them. Any thoughts? Originally used beta 7.0b13. I downloaded 7.0b15 (did not replace). I am using 7.0b15. Thank you!!
 
They are where you stored them. Follow the path:

Cheers
Frank
