Release 9

15th May 2018

Update (a)

• More improvements to the Sketch tool:

  • If you draw a polygon on a face, that will now cut a hole in the face

  • If you extrude a face through a shape to the other side so that it cuts an opposing face, that will cut a tunnel through the shape.

  • If you draw a line between edges on a face, that will now cut the face on the line which can then be dragged or extruded.

• When you drag a face, the touchpad menu lets you extrude a face, inset a face or scale a face

• Snap controls, vertex lock and right angle drawing have been moved to settings on the Wrist Pad

• There is a window asset which when placed in a sketch will cut a box to hold it.

• Improvements to the Paint tool:

  • The Palette has been reworked and is now on the WristPad

  • There is now a Fill mode as well as the Airbrush: this paints a whole face with a material such as brick

  • When using a Material Fill, you can drag the material and orient it and scale it on the face.

• New asset for simple lighting (under Light tag)

• New Lighting Controls on the WristPad

• In many places the grip button now acts like a toggle (easier than keeping it held down)

• When moving a thing, click the grip to toggle between keeping it vertical or free orientation

• When dragging a face in a sketch, clicking the grip cycles through keeping it parallel, 15 degree snaps or completely free

• Caronte assets can now be controlled from the Timeline.

• Many improvements to Undo/Redo but still work-in-progress

• Tweaks to movement heuristics for deteriming scale/move/turn/climb

Update (b)

• Fix for saving/loading certain scene elements.

• Fix for spectator cam getting confused when a camera is added to the scene.

• Fix for drawing from vertex to vertex to cut a face

• Fix for color picker (missing shaders)

• Movement up/down now happens in steps of 0.5m.

• Navigator: trigger now acts as a secondary grabber instead of dragging the world.

• Lighting panel shows marker colors for lights & light asset shows its marker color.

• Asset instances should now be correctly numbered.

• Most doors and windows should now cut their own box in a wall.

Update (e)

• Fix: Corridor and Old Town scenes had been accidentally disabled.

• Fix: Office did not get loaded correctly on 2nd visit.

• Spectator view in the Office has a fixed viewpoint.

• The controllers in the office have a “drumstick” on them to make the keyboard easier to use.

• The keyboard can now be moved: put your hand in it and pull the trigger to grab – use both hands to scale it.

• Keyboard keys now flash yellow when hit and deliver a haptic pulse for feedback.

• The range of the UI pointer has been limited (25cm) to reduce accidental interactions.

• Desktop UI can be hidden when in the Office (top right corner toggle).

• “Grip” movement controls now work in the Office.

• The Wristpad has been re-organised but it is still Work-In-Progress.

• Fix: Selecting the Lighting Controls the first time no longer changes the sun light to green.
