New and improved nodes ¶
-
Significant improvements to the
TopoTransfer node.-
The geometry is now colored in the view state to guide landmarking.
-
Added support for coincident landmark points.
-
No longer require each mesh component to have 8 or more vertices.
-
Snapping and pre-selection highlighting.
-
Can preserve display of shading attributes on the input geometry.
-
Support for externally-defined landmarks created by the new
Topo Landmark node. -
Improved stylus-based interaction.
-
-
New
Topo Landmark node supports specifying landmarks for the TopoTransfer node:-
Allows for operations on point data in geometry networks either before or after landmark pairing. For example, mirroring points, merging points, and projection/subdivision (reuse of landmark data with LOD).
-
Supports geometry abstractions. For example, use “sub-mesh” such as occluded components in landmarking, reverse landmarking from target to source.
-
Re-use of point data. For example, using source points for multiple transfers, matching source and target point data, reuse of points in applications where you want coincident landmarks.
-
-
Significant improvements to the
Curve node.-
You can now add orientation attributes to the points on the curve.
-
You can now drag existing points while in “draw” mode.
-
New keyboard shortcuts to move selection.
-
Improved interaction with order 2 Bézier curves.
-
You can now require curvature continuity on Bézier curve points.
-
Rounded corners automatically expand or collapse as necessary.
-
Adjustments of multiple selected rounded corners are now relative.
-
The radial menu now includes commands for rounded corners.
-
-
The
Convert Line can now create a free-standing curve copy from a set of selected edges. You can use the new Curve from Edges shelf tool to access this feature. -
New
Spiral node creates 2D spirals and 3D helices. -
New “heat geodesic” distance metric in
Distance Along Geometry/Mask Along Geometry computes the spread of attribute values across a surface using a physical heat distribution model. -
Attribute Transfer node is now faster. -
Point Deform node now supports a deformation mask. -
Delete node now supports deleting at random. -
Group node now supports creating random groups.
Import and export ¶
-
In the
glTF render node you can now force include or exclude objects for export, ignoring their display flags, with the new Force Objects and Exclude Objects parameters. -
Updated Alembic support to version 1.8.3.
-
LIDAR Import node added support for LAS 1.4 and LAZ files.
