tyFlow v0.16044 (BETA)
#1
tyFlow 0.16044 is out!

http://beta.tyflow.com

Additions:

* Added clustering options to tyMesher for meshing different parts of input points separately
* Added Birth Spline operator for more control over spline-based particle birth
* Spin operator spin axis can now be in particle space
* Delete operator now has ability to delete particle parent or target
* added Move to Target operator for moving particles to their target particle's location
* Surface Test in raycast mode can save hit location to custom data channel
* improved "Hybrid" surface sample mode accuracy
* options added to get mapping values from target particle in Mapping operator
* added option to save corresponding cloth mesh vertex index to custom data float channel in Cloth operator
* added option to interpolate strength of inflation force over event age in Modify Bindings operator, for better gradual inflation
* option to delete parent added to Branch operator
* add option within "spawn by travel" in the Spawn operator to spawn particle at beginning of distance interval
* simulation group filter added to Export Particles operator
* clicking the on/off icon on a selected event or operator will also toggle the enabled state of all other selected events or operators
* can now set forward vector for custom vec/travel modes in Rotation operator.
* added button to extract the current mesh in the tyMesher settings
* added old "divergence" force mode of the Surface Force operator back in, renamed it "steering".
* Voronoi Fracture operator will now set proper smoothing groups on slice cap faces
* added "optimize" option in tySplines object for culling spline knots based on angle threshold
* Displace operator now allows multiple IDs in matID filter
* "Absolute position" mode added to Move Pivots operator
* Interpolation spinner added to Move Pivots operator
* added ability to save event age to custom data channel when test TRUE in operator Test rollouts
* added ability to save test value to custom data channel when test TRUE in operator Test rollouts
* Relax operator now has timing/filter rollout
* tyMesher now has the ability to inherit the raw meshes of its input objects (as opposed to converting them to a blobmesh). This functionality is similar to max's "Mesher" object functionality, with the benefit of tyFlow being able to add a list of objects instead of just a single object.
* added repulsion settings to Flock operator
* Property Test operator now has position delta magnitude test, for testing the distance between a particle's current position and it's position at the beginning of the time step
* by default, when no Instance ID operators are assigned to particles, their instance ID will be their birth ID (prevents inconsistent IDs assigned by VRay itself)
* Birth Objects element split algorithm is now multithreaded
* added noise options to Cluster operator voronoi mode for better cluster deviation
* added auto/manual update options to tyMesher

Fixes:

* fixed a serious bug in the Flock operator that was causing particle positions to be misinterpreted during the neighbor search phase of the force calculations
* fixed an issue in the Particle Force operator, where influence falloff was not working and spin forces were not working if particle velocities were zero
* fixed an issue where dragging the arrows of the distance spinner in the Set Target proximity settings had no effect
* fixed a bug where deconverted cloth meshes were inheriting mapping overrides, which was overriding deconverted cloth UVWs
* fixed issues with tySpline object knot welding functionality.
* fixed a bug where maxscript listener sim printout was sometimes displaying huge frame range values for flows with no particles to sim
* fixed instability related to renaming tyFlow nodes
* fixed a bug where static flows would sometimes not calculate proper bounding box around particles, causing them to disappear in the viewport
* fixed a bug where tySplineMesher parameter names were not displaying in the track view
