Here's another preview build of the next release with all of optigon's stuff.
http://home.comcast.net/~chronosphere/wings-plugins.htm
Experimental features:
1. Left Alt-click to select edge-loops. Right Alt-Click to select edge-rings.
2. OpenGL 2.0 Shaders and Yoda (in view menu).
3. Anti-Aliasing of polygons/images/whole interface. (Mac and Linux only)
Committed features:
- New Feature: Circularise now works on open edge loops, and by pressing '1'
during the drag phase of the tool, you can choose to flatten or not flatten
the result to a single plane. [optigon]
- New Feature: View|Highlight Aim, aims the camera at the mouseover highlight
which lets you aim the camera while other geometry is selected. Options in
Edit|Preferences|Advanced allow you to specify targeting behaviour. Although
the original View|Aim command remains, I have changed the Wings default
hotkey 'a' to call Highlight Aim instead, on a fresh install. [optigon]
- Repeating Move|Region in selection modes other than Face caused Wings to
crash. Now fixed. [optigon]
- Selecting every face of an object during a vector op would crash wings.
Now fixed. [optigon]
- Partial rewrite of Sweep plugin to improve the code including:
- Vertices on separate objects sharing the same id number, would cause
unexpected results. Vertices are now processed correctly.
- Sweep|Free side to side motion was reversed. Now fixed. (Thanks to GetaVe)
- Added Relative mode to Sweep commands.
- Improvements to processing speed.
[optigon]
- New utility Tools|Memory Usage. Measures how much memory your current scene
is using. (Thanks to Giniu.) [optigon]
- New colour prefs for the Menu Bar and Info Line backgrounds. [optigon]
- Reorganized View menu. [optigon]
- Deselecting with nothing selected would add an unnecessary undo state. Now
fixed. (Thanks to Giniu.) [optigon]
- Lowered minimum undo level to 1 (Edit|Preferences|Misc). [optigon]
- Changed default camera mode to Wings 3D mode for fresh install. [optigon]
- Made most of the Defined Hotkeys translatable. This also affect commands
displayed in Edit|Repeat and the Plugin Manager. [optigon]
- New Feature: Arc Intersect. Allows you to rotate a selection using a geometry
specified angle. [optigon]
- Disabled translation macros for Save and Open in Windows because they could
cause Wings to crash when displaying Latin 5 characters in native dialogs.
Furthermore, it is highly recommended that you do not save wings files using
accented or non-English character. (Thanks to Devilgreen.)[optigon]
