Release of Cheetah3D 3.1

14. Mar. 2006


Cheetah3D 3.1 is mainly a bug fix release, but it also contains some powerful new features. The biggest enhancement in version 3.1 is the new "Smart Folder" object. This allows external 3D files to be linked into a Cheetah3D scene without actually importing them. This is especially helpful if you need to keep some of your models separated from your Cheetah3D scene setup. For example, if you want to render an architectural model created with an CAD application. And should the the external file be edited at any time, Cheetah3D automatically reloads the model for you!
Cheetah3D 3.1 also offers auto-highlighting for the select tool, an accelerated raytracer and many other small enhancements.

Changes since the last update:
  • Added "Smart Folder" object
  • Added Auto-highlighting to select tool
  • Added "UV Editing" menu command to layout menu
  • Added "export UV" and "export Normals" property to FBX export
  • Added "Simple ASCII Export" example script
  • Added some new Javascript functions necessary to write exporters which also export materials
    • Polycore::materialTagIndex(Number pindex)
    • Object::materialTag()
    • Tag::linkedToMaterial()
  • Added "use existing materials" property to all file loaders which load materials
  • Accelerated raytracer (up to 25%)
  • Fixed tranforum tool quantize bug
  • File .jas loading bug (material preview)
  • Fix bug in movie preview in render manager
  • Fixed bug in Unwrap tool
  • Fixed camera zoom bug
  • Fixed mirrored HDRI texture bug
  • Updated some old scripts
  • Removed "Illustrator import scripts". Please use the PDF importer instead.
  • many other small bug fixes
