Storm 0.6 released

Sebastian Schäfer has announced the release of Storm 0.6, the latest version of its standalone particle simulation tool. New features include:

• The addition of a new cloth-solver, cloth-constraints and cloth-guide nodes
  • The cloth solver allows for stable cloth mesh and lines tearing
  • Cloth constraints can be created by groups and/or merged together
  • A visualize-constraint node (cloth only) has also been added
  • Constraints can have varying “stiffness” and “breakstretch” values (pre-existing as point attributes)
  • Cloth inflation force is now triangle area dependent by default
• Alembic importers and exporters can now handle lines (curves)
• Better weighting added to attribute-transfer node (proximity mode)
• Attribset-node has an added falloff parameter
• The Point-delete node now works with meshes
• Attrib-set node can also directly use a mesh as a “mask” and has a falloff parameter
• Volume gradient node has an option to normalize and choose an output name
• Added a Mesh-Curvature node
• The smoke-solver node has an option for linear vorticity
• The transform-stick can get enabled on a specific frame (classic collider)
• The write node has the option to remove data attributess
• Support for online licenses
• Plus several more small improvements and bugfixes
