(Since last reported)
Version 4.4
(Since last reported)
Version 4.4
- Parametric array can now inherit members from another parametric array
- Para 3d now supports two new types of values : Ray and Quat
- Intersection controller solves Curve/Plane intersection
- Custom controller supports true/false and signed parameter
- Invert array function in Array Variable Override controller
- Snapshot node can generate multiple snapshots at once. Snapshot objects are members of new array
- Mesh controller supports matrix output
- Vector controller returns Midpoint
- Convert controller can convert different types to/from Ray and Quat values
- Automatic toolbars installation
- Ability to save/load Paraflow to/from .para files (only with commercial license)
- User preferences ( cancel auto zoom functions/ display navigation box)
- Zoom selected
- Linker Add-on can links physical constraints to rigid bodies
- “Parametric Explode” node explodes spline shapes/meshes/edit poly objects to parametric arrays.
- Trim/Cut/Split functions have been added to “Compound” node
- “Custom parameter” supports Integer type
- “Sub-Object offset” controller allows user to override sub-object index
- “Node” controller has been added to library – extracts basic information from 3ds Max objects
- Add-on “Scene Manager” allows users to change layers and visibility
- Member selection now allows multiple nodes to be selected simultaneously
- “Compound object” enables users to create waffle structures
- “Cancel” option in right click menu
- “Snipped Code” added – see 3ds max script code generated by Para 3d controllers
- “Collection” controller interval option has improved
- “Custom Parameter” provides loop parameter which can be used in conjunction with “Collection” controller
- Generate xy.yz.zx planes directly from “Vector” controller
- “Wire frame” node extracts top and bottom edges of mesh objects
- “Parametric Mesh” node allows users to add and update customized patterns dynamically
