Version 3.0.9

• creating a new custom alpha channel adds the currently selected objects to the channel
• added a shelf button which allows custom alpha channel mappings to be edited on several objects at once
• added missing Maxwell scatter parameters
• fixed: Maxwell scatter density, scale and rotation maps weren't exported
• fixed: wrong defaults and ranges for scatter variation and rotation parameters
• fixed: correlated color emitters were exported as XYZ and vice-versa

[Mihnea Balta]

Version 3.0.10

• when a custom alpha channel is renamed, its name is updated in all the scene nodes which were using it
• fixed: the time input of the sea node was replaced with the default value when loading a scene
• fixed: wrong unit for the time of the sea node (frames were passed as seconds)
• fixed: incorrect scale and density range exported for Maya fluids
• fixed: incorrect displacement presets for RealFlow and Modo

[Mihnea Balta]

Version 3.0.11

• added support for Maya 2015
• pack'n'go now copies texture files used by referenced MXM materials
• fixed: the plug-in was incorrectly adding the frame number to ABC files used by the RFRK particle node
• fixed: realflow BIN meshes were displayed incorrectly in the viewport
• fixed: bogus values in the displacement-related dropdowns in the material attribute editor
• fixed: incorrect camera target (and therefore DOF) if the linear unit was set to something other than centimeters when the camera was created
• fixed: incorrect lighting and normal mapping for objects with Maxwell materials in Viewport 2.0

Note: the OSX and Linux versions are not available yet.

[Mihnea Balta]

Version 3.0.12

• pack'n'go takes into account BIN files for RFRK nodes and texture sequences
• added support for Maya 2015 on OSX and Linux
• fixed: MXM import ignored emitter projection textures

[Mihnea Balta]

Version 3.0.13

• removed obsolete parameters from the UI of the scatter node
• fixed: possible crash when displaying a scatter node in the viewport
• fixed: MXS references were not inheriting render flags and were ignoring custom alpha assignments
• fixed: exporting a MXS during pack'n'go ignored render settings

[Mihnea Balta]

Version 3.0.14

• non-absolute MXS and MXI paths are considered relative to the project path
• fixed: wrong viewport preview for boolean objects when Maya is in Z up mode
• fixed: region rendering only worked when using the camera set as renderable in the scene settings

[Mihnea Balta]

Version 3.1.5

• added support for a new hair primitive: curves
• added support for per-material alpha channels
• added back support for custom light geometry (MXS references)
• fixed: volumetric objects could not be exported on Windows 8
• fixed: wrong rotation for spot lights in FIRE
• fixed: floating shadows and reflections were not visible when rendering in Draft mode
• fixed: when launching Maxwell on Linux, an intermediary process was created, instead of parenting Maxwell directly under the main Maya process

Version 3.1.6

• added support for UDIM textures
• added settings for extra sampling in the render options dialog
• fixed: volumetric objects did not work
• fixed: crash when changing the state of the color management setting (Maya 2015 Extension 1)

Version 3.1.7

• added support for mapping magnitudes to UV channels in the RFRK mesher
• fixed: instances produced by the MASH plug-in (and other 3rd party instancers) were not rendered

[Mihnea Balta]

Version 3.1.9

• added the *.exr file mask in the browser dialog for RFRK mesher displacement files
• the volumetric object no longer adds a frame number in the exported particle file path if one isn't present in the file selected by the user. Also improved the detection of the frame padding in case a frame number has to be inserted.
• fixed: "no layer selected" error when clicking the Blocked Emitters button in the AE for a mesh
• fixed: wrong viewport preview for the sea object when Maya was in z-up mode
• fixed: wrong positions for exported particles when Maya was set in z-up mode
• fixed: native lights were not included in the list of blockable emitters
• fixed: no VDB file mask in the volumetric object file open dialog
• fixed the translation from legacy materials to layered was broken

[Mihnea Balta]

Version 3.1.10

• added the *.prt extension mask to the Maxwell Particles file dialogs
• converted materials use the name of the original material, but with an added "Conv" suffix
• fixed: layered materials converted automatically from legacy materials did not show up in Hypershade
• fixed: the plug-in was not able to obtain a license on Linux if Shave&Haircut; was also installed (or any other plug-in which uses RLM)

[Mihnea Balta]

Version 3.1.11

• added support for Maya 2016
• fixed: MEL error about setParent when loading the plug-in

[Mihnea Balta]

Version 3.1.12

• fixed: FIRE was still running in the background after closing its window
• fixed: the render resolution for FIRE was capped at 720 pixels horizontally the first time it was started during a Maya session due to misbehaving licensing code

[Mihnea Balta]

Version 3.1.13

• fixed: if a Maxwell material was selected in Hypershade and the Hypershade window was subsequently closed, Maya would crash when showing any Maxwell material in the Attribute Editor

[Mihnea Balta]

Version 3.2.2

• updated the scatter and grass modifiers with the attributes introduced in Maxwell 3.2

• added support for the PSD output format
• added *.prt to the list of supported file extensions in the volumetric object
• rebuilt with the latest SDK for compatibility with Maxwell 3.1.99.10
• fixed: invalid enable/disable state for the controls in the global material parameters UI
