Final trueSpace 7.61 Beta 8 Unofficial Update

[trueBlue]

Can you check out this Material editor Widget?
Material Inspect
LMB = Inspect material
LMB + Drag = Edit material in LE
RMB + Drag = Inspect material + Select Object
Edit:
If it works I was thinking about switching the gestures.
LMB + Drag = Inspect material + Select Object
RMB + Drag = Edit material in LE
Or if you have a better idea?

Hi all tSp geniuses...i'm trying follow all steps for install your beautiful UnoffUpgrade and i've some questions about:

1. What kind of files i need to install PDF manual?
2. I got vRay 1.53 and a patch for tSp761 but never heard or seen "tS76_Vray1_54B8.exe" you referred on install instruction in related post.

Hi from Italy...and many many thanks for your unbelievable job!!!

You could try Adobe for a PDF Reader?

I do not know what the differences is between the two versions of Vray except maybe one is newer?

the_ant, first off HI from Steinie!

Here is a History Lesson that most people do not know about.
trueSpace 7.6 was the last version that VRay would work with.
trueSpace 7.61 was released on 5/22 2009 and VRay did not work with this version. (It would not load the scenes)
A secret version of VRay was used by developers with 7.61 (version tS76_Vray1_54B8.exe) that fixed the problem.
Caligari then released a "Patch" for VRay to work with trueSpace 7.61
So if your VRay works with trueSpace 7.61 you already have the Patch installed.

Names and Places have changed, killed, tied to a rock and dropped in the middle of a large lake not to be named.

Hi....
Thanks Steinie for your support about vRay/tSp story...i just suspected the coincidence for "patch vRay1.53=tS76_Vray1_54B8"

@trueBlue: my question is about installation (not visualization) of PDF Manual (in Cellulo unoff-update version 2.1 of tSp7.6 is customized by Cellulo) thanks again...

[trueBlue]

The original PDF Manual is a 50 MB file -> tS76PDF.exe
You run it and install it to where your trueSpace installation is.

The Update includes missing tS76PDF files and additional Model help files and overwrites the ts76_manual.html file, so it is important, as the instructions say, to install the tS76PDF first before the update.

Background widget
Additional controls:
* CTRL + MMB - Double click Zooms to the current selected object or Point Edit selection.
* CTRL+ Shift + MMB Double click - Zooms to all objects in the scene.
New - Updated the Zoom to Selection version 1/14/2018 - Author Clinton Reese
Updated 5/30/2018
Shift + LMB Drag - Zooms to the current selected object or Point Edit selection.
Note: This gesture is in addition to the CTRL + MMB - Double click.
New - RMB Drag - Resets the View.

Note: I set the Prority = 2 on the Offline render/Area scene render widget and the View tools/Rect zoom widget
so that they all worked as expected.
Please test that the CTRL + MMB - Double click gestures still works because they do not work for me on my setup.
Note: They both share the same script.

@ Clinton: I experimented with your Zoom 2 Selection widget extensively. It may be my setup (Win10) but I confirmed that the One from three select nodes have issues.
