tyFlow v2.008 is up!
https://pro.tyflow.com
Additions:
* tyFlow now supports custom string (text) properties. Support for these has been added to relevant operators, filters, tyCache import/export, tyParticleObjectExt API, etc
* Shape operator now has ability to convert custom string properties to particle meshes
* added ability to specify existing, compatible Python installation in Terrain Download operator (preventing need to separately install Python or its dependencies)
* added option in tySelect modifier to auto-select spline tangents if their parent knot is selected
* added "reset targets on entry" option to Set Target operator, which ensures all particles have their target invalidated prior to any subsequent assignments
Fixes:
* tyWeld modifier, when used on splines, will now better preserve welded tangents
* fixed some issues with how the Inferno API interprets loaded-VDB voxel sizes
* fixed a crash that could occur while building raycast acceleration structures for Value operators in surface test mode
* fixed an issue where Actor Convert operator was not passing on instance materials inherited by source skinned meshes
* fixed an issue where chaining Value operators could lead to inconsistencies in how default values are processed
* fixed an issue where the pECount variable of Value operator expressions was not returning the correct event particle count value
* fixed an issue where Inferno Display could appear to be additive/cumulative in Max 2023, eventually leading to full system slowdown
* fixed an issue where the tyMultifracture modifier was overriding user-defined defaults for some noise parameters
* fixed an issue where the PhysX Collision operator was unnecessarily updating/recomputing static colliders
