Final trueSpace7.61 Beta 8 Std Unofficial Update

[clintonman]

Hummm… plug is there but the Plugins.xml file is missing.
Not sure how that happened. Fixed!
Thanks!

While your here, I was thinking about including a primitive Isometric Camera that circles around the scene clockwise from buttons. I think I have the transformations right. Basically the way I could get it to work is by copying the Iso Eye Cam and made it Look At a normalized Cube. After I captured the transformation info into the buttons, I disengaged the Look At from the cube but left the look at nodes inside the cam and deleted the TargetMatrix attribute. The FOV is way different in Model.

I also noticed that the new Cameras View/Perspective button causes an error if you switch to Model and use the Perspective button. I guess it is because their is no Workspace view open in this scenario. Any ideas how to over come this error?

Using the buttons the view doesn't look centered. Buttons 1 and 3 have a different center than buttons 2 and 4.
The first line is assuming that the EyeCamera exists inside D3DView. You can add this line at the beginning to check:

Code: Select all

if(Node.SubObjectCount("/D3DView")==0) return;

Code: Select all

Cam = Node.SubObject("/D3DView", 0)
D3DView.SetActiveCamera('', '')
D3DView.SetActiveCamera('/D3DView/' + Cam, '{2C152F81-45A2-4035-8896-9E49D60C8A7A}')
Space.Unselect()
Node.Disconnect("%THIS_NAME%/Transform", "WldMatrix", "%THIS_NAME%/Watch Dog Event", "Change detect")
Node.Disconnect("%THIS_NAME%", "FOV", "%THIS_NAME%/Watch Dog Event", "Change detect")

You could be seeing the differences between the EyeCamera's default transformation settings and the Reset View's transformation settings. They are different and not in sync. All the new Cameras are, including this one, are using the Reset View transformation settings. Try zooming into a normalized cube in wire frame mode as shown. I am not seeing any movement except when Enabling/Disabling the Enable Ortho Walk button.

Thanks for the fix, I will apply this to all Cameras.

Edit: I found a different way to do the transformations by coping the LookAt's WldMatrix attributes for each rotation and eliminating the LookAt. Wished that I could have created a Rotation Cycle script to condense all of the buttons to one, but no such success yet.
Also when using this in Model it is way off. Guessing it is the differences of their Eye Camera's FOV.

New download, installed without issue.

Found a visual bug in the infinite and directional lights. The meshes are inside out. Attached are corrected Shape nodes.

Thanks! Wonder why they were black.
Model infinite on the left.

Had to shorten up your Directional shape on the right. It was below the grid.

Almost done with the updates, just testing everything more closely. Unless I am missing something your Cube Widget View's P script does not seem to be of any value. If it showed in the Ortho views, I could see it's use. Besides all the sides toggle back to the Perspective view.
Sooooo… I was considering changing it to Rotating the Perspective view.
Whatcha think?

If you're in camera view you have to know the perspective view is hidden in the cube by going to ortho view then clicking again to get to the perspective view. The P is obvious what it does. The C and P are useful for switching between camera and perspective views.

Ah, okay! Never used it switching from Camera to View before.
Definitely going to use that more often.

YafaRay Standalone https://github.com/YafaRay/Core/releases
YafaRay for Blender https://github.com/YafaRay/Blender-Exporter/releases

Unzip the file and copy the ‘yafaray_v3’ folder to:
Examples:
Standalone
C:\Program Files\yafaray_v3
C:\trueSpace761\tS\yafaray_v3
C:\trueSpace761Std\yafaray_v3

Note: If you install the YafaRay v3.3.0 render engine after installing this update:
From Workspace in the Stack/Panel - YafaRay4tS/Setup aspect

Select the 'Save Settings' button.

In Workspace, open the YafaRay4tS layout.
Open a new YafaRay4tS scene from the YafaRay Settings toolbar icon.

Optionally, but recommend you install the iOptDetector plugin http://rs.siprogs.sk/p/iOptDetectorsPage
Recommend that you install it to your C:/ drive so that it can be shared with different versions of trueSpace.
The OptDetector.dll must be Installed and Loaded from the Workspace's Package Manager.
