Golaem Crowd 4.3 (2015/11/12)

Improvements

• thisBehavior' keyword in the Expression trigger
• All render proxies include an Object ID attribute to specify what to output in the Object ID pass (mesh, entity, shader, crowd field or all)
• Check Render Settings Tool now works for lighting scene (without simulation nodes)
• Linear and Angular Damping can be set per bone in the Character Maker (instead of globally in the Physics Locator)
• Load / Save Node Attributes tool in the Crowd Swiss Knife Tool
• Skeleton Pelvis Height Ratio is now computed automatically in the CrowdEntityType node
• New 'Character and Ground Relative' mode in the AdaptPosition Behavior
• Start / Stop Duration attributes in the AdaptOrientation Behavior
• Stop Duration in the Flock Behavior

Bug Fixes

• Fixed orientation computation in the AdaptOrientation Behavior
• Fixed NavMesh creation of huge environments
• Fixed glmCrowd.mll unload
• Fixed Rendering Type Id assignment
• Fixed SetFormation Behavior
• Fixed manipulator and rendering glitch with VP2.0 in the Paint Tool
• Fixed a crash when dirmapping Character Files without Geometry Groups
• Fixed a crash when rendering an empty scene with Mental Ray, Renderman, Arnold & V-Ray
• Fixed a crash when rendering with V-Ray and using frustum culling
• Fixed a crash when rendering empty meshes with V-Ray
• Fixed a crash in the UVPin Behavior (multithread issue)
• Fixed a crash when exiting Maya after having opened the Simulation Window
• Fixed a crash when the Speed Ratio of a Motion Behavior is set to 0
• Fixed a crash when using Collision Triggers and several CrowdFields
• Fixed a crash when rendering mesh names longer than 256 characters
• Fixed non consistent shader assignment with V-Ray
• Fixed File Browser Window Save Button
• Fixed animation loops in the SyncMotion Behavior
• Fixed wrong orientation display in the SyncMotion Behavior
• Fixed starting duration interpolation in the UVPin Behavior
• Fixed cloth simulation when using 'same nucleus solver than clothes' option in the Cloth Locator
• Fixed warning messages on restart in the Cloth Behavior
• Fixed the IK Planes button loop in the Character Maker
• Fixed flocking behavior on non-flocking Entities if a Flock Locator was in the scene
• Fixed start and stop nodes selection
• Fixed a potential crash at simulation start when using navigation behaviors

Refactoring

• Removed TBB dependency
• Refactoring of most custom Attribute Editor controllers
• Master-Slave behavior now requires that Master and Slave entities belong to the same particle system (temp)
• Default values of Physics Collision Triggers have been changed

API

• glmCheckLicense has now -full or -layout flags
• In glm_crowd_io.h, glmBeginGeometryGeneration can now be called multiple times on different contexts without calling glmEndGeometryGeneration
• In glm_crowd_io.h, added a parameter to glmCreateEntityGeometry to create only mesh/shaders names, geometry or both
• In glm_crowd_io.h, added support of object id generation (for ObjectID render passes)

Supported Rendering Engines

• Mtoa 1.0.X / Arnold Core 4.1.X
• V-Ray For Maya 2.4
• Renderman Studio 19.0
