  [*]Fixed All

  [bug]6503[/bug] Patches Not Displaying Correctly

  [*]Fixed All

  [bug]6495[/bug] Displacement from materials results in heavy, black render artefacts

  [*]Fixed All

  [bug]6509[/bug] Render with SSAO causes crash

  [*]Fixed All

  [bug]6507[/bug] Pressing Bones Mode Button locks computer

  OpenGL3 driver

  - fixed application crash for nvidia gpu's

  Error code:6

  "Your hardware configuration does not meet minimum specifications needed to run the application. The application must close." if this error occured again , please set in the registry (OSX Masterprefs.ini) the value for "OpenGL3" "Max Vertices" to a lower value

  • redudant state changes reduced
     
    
  • reworked the opengl3 property page
     
    
  • all settings on this page having only influence for the realtime rendering
     
    
  • bilinear filtering for real time textures removed
     
    
  • the next 3 options are having only influence for realtime textures
     
    
  • "Anisotropic filter" for textures added, can be switched with the same named checkbox on the opengl3 properties page, only avaible if the "GL_EXT_texture_filter_anisotropic" extension is supported from the gpu driver
     
    
  • "Scale always to power of two", if this checkbox is checked all textures are scaled to the next power of two value for width and height (256,512,1024 and so one)
     
    
  • "Compress if x or y > xxx", if this checkbox is checked the textured are stored as compressed texture in the gpu accesible memory, the value means the size for the texture width or height , and is the computed from the "GL_MAX_TEXTURE_SIZE" value , for Your gpu this value can be shown if You save the list of extensions "Show All" on the property page than "Save")
     
    
  • "Antialiased Lines" only a hint for OpenGL , that lines should drwaed antialiased
     
    
  • "Inverse sortorder" transparent Patches are drawn in reverse order (Z- to Z+)
     
    
  • "Polymode" in shaded views , the polygon structure is displayed , which will be used, when You export the model/chor in a polygon export format like stl/obj and so one .
     
    
  • special note for OSX users if You get uglish decals/rotoscopes please try first to set "Scale always to power of two" to On , even the OpenGL extension "GL_ARB_texture_non_power_of_two" is reported , it looks like there is problem with the driver (seen the problem on systems with a nvidia gpu, ati or intel seems to be ok)
    

  [*]Fixed OSX

  [bug]6471[/bug] Decals Not Displaying Corectly In v18a On Macs

  [bug]6481[/bug] AM does not render images correctly set "Scale always to power of two" to On in the opengl3 properties

  [*]Fixed All

  appcrash , when selecting controlpoints from a decal, where the cp's are removed

  but the stamp still exists

  [*]Fixed All

  [bug]6515[/bug] Can't reorder sequence of a model's constraints in a relationship

  [bug]6425[/bug] No longer possible to resequence a relationship's constraints in the PWS

  [*]Fixed All

  [bug]6516[/bug] Can't reorder sequence of an Actions constraints in a relationship

  [bug]6438[/bug] No longer possible to resequence constraints in an Action or Choreography window.

  [*]Fixed All

  [bug]6517[/bug] Crash when trying to resequence the order of contraints in an Action in the PWS without having its action window open.

  [*]Changed Windows32 and OSX

  if A:M is running out of memory during final render, a more informative messagebox is displayed and the used memory is freed now. A typical scenario for such a exception is rendering with some lights with Z-buffered shadows,high Map Resolution,Penumbra on and Multipass off. 32 bit programs (OSX is a 32 bit process too), can use only at max 3GB memory equal how much memory is installed

  [*]Fixed All

  [bug]6188[/bug] Hair Density Maps do not work correctly on 5-point patches

  [*]Changed All

  Expression RGB(rgb) clamp the values between 0 and 255 self (as example 500 is the input value, than 255 used as value) use absolute values (-100 will then be 100)

  [*]Fixed All

  [bug]6520[/bug] Decals on background objects appear over foreground objects in real-time

  [*]Fixed All

  [bug]6480[/bug] AM Crashes when trying to remove a hook

  [*]Fixed All

  [bug]6512[/bug] Multipass not dividing motion blur increments properly
