Golaem 5.0.4 (2016/03/31)

New Features

  • New Character Controller Behavior to navigate / walk on physicalized Entities

Improvements

  • Bone edition has been improved with a nicer rotation pivot in the Simulation Cache Layout
  • Added support of Child Rendering Types in the Character Maker
  • Improved performances when selecting Entities in the Simulation Cache Layout
  • Improved performances with multiple Characters simulations
  • Improved transition frame delay between two sequenced UVPin Behavior
  • Improved dirmap strategy to deal with multiple platforms studios
  • Improved multiple Character assets shuffling in the Character Palette
  • Position / Orientation offset can be only applied on blending frames in the Character Maker

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed Entity culling when playblasting a scene with the Viewport 2.0
  • Fixed weight computation when blending motions in a Locomotion Behavior
  • Fixed import of Character Files with Child Rendering Types from Golaem 4
  • Fixed PPAttributes input in Vector Shader Attributes
  • Fixed a crash when loading Character Files from Golaem 4
  • Fixed a crash when having more than 10 characters geometry files in a simulation
  • Fixed a crash with OpenGL in Maya Batch
  • Fixed a crash when initializing a simulation with an hidden Terrain Locator
  • Fixed a crash when playing the time backwards
  • Fixed a crash when building a Crowd Rigid Body convex mesh on a single triangle
  • Fixed a crash due to infinite loops in the Auto Layout process of the Character Maker
  • Fixed a crash due to wrong mesh count in the Simulation Cache Layout
  • Fixed a crash when editing Crowdfield names in the Simulation Cache Proxy node
  • Fixed a crash when exporting simulation with killed Entities in Alembic or FBX
  • Fixed a crash when exporting an animation from a Character File with a different amount of bones
  • Fixed a crash when using the Cloth Behavior
  • Fixed reload of history in the Simulation Cache Layout
  • Fixed Entity scale sampling when using small scale ratios
  • Fixed Block operator behavior when shared amongst several Entity Types
  • Fixed Apply button in the Physics Properties window of the Character Maker
  • Fixed alpha computation in the Physics Properties window of the Character Maker
  • Fixed blendshape rendering in the Simulation Cache Layout
  • Fixed geometry frame not modified by the Time Offset Layer in the Simulation Cache Layout
  • Fixed bad selection when duplicating many characters in the Simulation Cache Layout
  • Fixed Notes saving in the Trigger Editor
  • Fixed warnings when saving / loading a Custom Behavior Graph
  • Fixed linear Locomotion Model preview in the Visual Feedback
  • Fixed empty .mod file generated at Linux install when using an underscore in install path
  • Fixed save as not updating the Character File name when in the Geometry tab of the Character Maker

Refactoring

  • Use Cached Terrain / Orient Pelvis On Ground are now also in the Simulation Cache Layout
  • Replay last found frame for an Entity in the Simulation Cache Layout
  • Upgraded internal FBX SDK to 2016.1.2

Character Pack

  • Changed physics properties for CrowdMan (less restitution, more realistic weights)
  • Updated audience motions (frequency changed from 24fps to 30fps, so previous scene may need to be updated if motions are cropped)
  • Removed Motion Mapping for replaying audience/locomotion motions on CrowdMan, CrowdWoman. Automatic Mapping works just fine.
