Version History

10/11/2009 PPainter v0.492 - Added support for MR_proxy!    Please don't change the default name of generated mrproxies object,    The name is the only method to export the mrproxy class object ( ...for now) - Now perspective/camera view works fine - Added support fot Windows 7, 32 & 64 bit - Fixed some bugs 30/12/2007 PPainter v0.485 - Please, delete old c:\proxypainter folder and macroscript in max before installing this release - Camera View by pressing 'P' key, toggle between Perspective and Max camera view,    if you use it in your Max scene.   Actually it works fine on camera target types, for free cameras I have little TM problems,   I'll try to fix as soon as possible.   Remeber to flag 'Export cameras' in ase exporter - Ascii Exporter Settings   Before start with the new version, you must set the ASE exporter.   Do a scene with a simple box and export it, setting the exporter like this one: - Added wireframe/shaded by pressing "F3" - Bounding box key changed to "F2" - Added image aspect by pressing 'S' key - Fixed camera clip - Fixed large scale scene managment - Fixed smoothing groups problems - Fixed "memory violation" during large models import - Fixed bounding box pivot/position - Fixed 3d pointer 17/12/2007 PPainter v0.473 - Works in Max2008 too - New scene importer (ASE), so I skip the .3ds name length limitation - Added progress bar in ProxyPainter during the importing fase - Support for smoothing groups. Yeah guys, I made it... :) A little problem occurs when the smoothing    group is "NULL"... I don't understand why... Max set it to "NULL"...    In this case you'll see a phong surface instead a flat surface (if it's really flat...) - Now you can import big objects, but I clip it to 65535 faces. If you plan to paint over large count   faces models, remember to add a multires modifier to reduce face count to 65535. That's all. - Support for groups and links extended. I parse links too, but they must be in a group or only the first    knot will be instanced in Max. - Shortcuts list by pressing 'H' key - Minor bugs fixed - Minor importer changes 25/11/2007 PPainter v0.4 - Unlimited number of proxies    changed from word [2^16=65.536] to long [2^32=4.294.967.296] is enough ) - Added brush scattering over surfaces, now based on barycentric coordinates ( random  iterated ) - I change a bit slider/button position - 'ESC' switch from advanced operation ( like scatter operation ) to paint mode - Added progress bar, during importing - Revisited maxscript importer, try to stay in 3000/5000 entities x session,    the maxscript grouping function requires a lot of time for completion, and I cannot do nothing for it scattering examples     16/11/2007 PPainter v0.314 - Added grouped brush objects, supports for IK and links systems - Added animated proxies with random time shifting - Added export proxies as instance / copy. This is useful for animated proxies    a) instance mode, you can shift only transform props ( position/rotation/scale ), IK works too    IK instanced bugs sample: instance mode export    b) copy mode, use this for few objects but you can perform a time shift for all keys including modifiers    Modifiers sample: copy mode export - Improved bounding box function ('F3') - Improved hide/show proxies ('F1') - Added Brush Flood slider,set per frame spayed proxies - Added Clear all proxies, clear the scene (Alert! no confirm question,one way, no undo) -Viewport navigation system based on distance between camera and camera aim.   Z-Buffer accuracy choosed by scene-props   Now, when you have a big scene, you can navigate without any kind of probs... -Added "exit to max" button ( the 'TAB' key still works ) -Added config file, where you can setup the size of proxypainter window. - New pointer system - Brush size in percentage of max scene - Improved Proxy size variation - Improved Wire GUI -I force the exporter in quiet mode, now you simply click over your toolbar button and proxypainter   starts without asking for overwrite or uvcoords, just go! 05/11/2007 PPainter v0.105 -Added viewport clipping, near and far range. -Added different colors, when you pick up a new brush, old replicated entities change to dark red,  so you can see what you are doing... -Added single place mode, you can place only 1 entity choosing "Alone" button -Proxies collisions improvements (!!!) -Now the pointer reflects z normal/world alignment -Added check to limit 65535 entities x session -Minor bugs fixed, a scatter bug exists... I don't understand... I'll write a new scatter function... -Exit to Max by pressing "TAB", cause 'ESC' conflicts with maxscript execution -Green marker changed 03/11/2007 PPainter v0.104 -Added "pick up" button, support for mulitple brush per session multiple bugs fixed, speed up to 30% -New MAX importer macroscript, fixed long name import/export, fixed quaternion exporter
