  • Add Create Billboard function
  • Add "Neighbors Preservation" for Hidden Removal function
  • Add Retopology Field-Aligned strategy (in Preview)

Enhancements

  • Automatic orientation of 3D models at import
  • Improved .JT import: Full Preservation of 3D data information and better mesh quality for less triangles
  • Improve .RVM import: Metadata imported with .RVM file through .ATT file

  • Fix several issues regarding .JT imports

Known issues

  • Problem of memory leak while using toolbox functions
  • Bug with changes of meshes' name when using the Toolbox
  • Importing JT can takes a lot of time. It's due to the retrieve of Brep informations in order to let Pixyz generate a high quality mesh, better suited for hard optimization.

  • Create Normals give unrelevant result
  • Problem when createUV on meshes with textured materials. You need to re-assigned them to get the appropriate rendering.
