tyFlow v2.004 is up!
https://pro.tyflow.com
Additions:
* added support for 3ds Max 2027
* Value operators can now output custom vector values to parameters that take vectors as input (ex: Inferno Emitter > color)
* added "from custom float" mode to Material ID operator
* added blend mask generation option to tyMeshBlend modifier
* added mesh overlap test to Fuse operator
* added temperature units conversion options to Inferno to VDB operator
* added Effects rollout to Inferno Recall operator, with options to modulate density with temperature and velocity
* added curve controls to all Inferno Spline Force modes in order to control effect influence along splines
Fixes:
* fixed an issue where the Terrain FX operator's 'Slate' mode wasn't working
* fixed an issue where tyFlow could fail to initialize when VRay installed to non-default location
* fixed a regression where Birth Flow loading a tyCache might not updating the tyCache correctly, resulting in incorrect particle data being loaded
* fixed an issue where tyPreviewing an Inferno simulation could cause tySplines meshed with a tySplineMesher to be invisible in the viewport
* fixed an issue where Inferno Blast velocity overrides were just multiplying existing Inferno Emitter velocity values, rather than actually overriding them
* fixed an issue where the Inferno Spawn operator would still emit particles even with the emission rate set to very low values
* fixed an issue that could cause the tyMeshBlend modifier to crash when instanced across more than 2 objects
* fixed an issue where zero-values in an Inferno Emitter thickness texmap would still generate thin emission
* fixed a regression preventing per-frame tyCache meshes (ex: spline caches) from being subframe interpolated properly
* fixed an issue where modulated properties of an Inferno Blast operator could not be correctly referenced by other flows simulating Inferno fluids
* fixed an issue where the Display operator's color source channel menu wouldn't show existing float/vector channel names
* fixed an issue where Inferno Display streamline preview wouldn't work properly if volume display was disabled
* tyFlow will now automatically search for CUDA modules in the default ENV variable path ("TYFLOW_CUDA_MODULES_PATH"), as well as the specified path in the tyFlow GPU rollout
* fixed an issue that could cause Inferno display to freeze Max when zooming through volumes
* improved performance of editor redraw for complex flows
* fixed an issue where Inferno Emitter volume emission wouldn't work if emission thickness set to zero
* fixed an issue where Qt gradient controls on a primary monitor with scaling enabled would overlap other controls, making them impossible to manipulate
* fixed an issue where the Inferno Scale operator was inversely scaling the Inferno Display scene scale parameter
* fixed a regression introduced in v1.128 which resulted in overall weakened PhysX bind stiffness
* fixed a licensing issue where license deactivation could occur if the order of network devices in the OS changed
* fixed an issue where disabling "merge input splines" in the Inferno Spline Force operator would result in only 1 spline being added to the simulation
