Revision History

2010-11-11

Bug Fixes

• Visibility animation did not export correctly when cmdl file and ctex file and cmata were not exported. That problem has been fixed.

2010-10-25

Added or modified functionality

• Updated the plug-in to Ver. 1.2.0.
• Support for intermediate file format version 1.2.0.
• Support for Maya 2011.
• Quantize Quality, used to specify the animation precision, has been deprecated from the Export plug-in, and the options Scale Quantize Quality, Rotate Quantize Quality, and Translate Quantize Quality have been added.
• The options Texture Translate, Texture Rotate, and Texture Scale have been added to the the Export plug-in for setting the acceptable error-tolerance value for texture SRT animations.
• The Color option was added to the the Export plug-in for setting the acceptable error-tolerance value for color animation.
• Added the Plug-In for Setting User Data (NW4C Set User Data).

Bug Fixes

• Fixed a bug where dependency files were not being copied during merging.
• Fixed a bug where cskla files were not being optimized if cmdl files were not being exported.
• Fixed a bug where temporary files created for merging were not always deleted.

Known Issues

• In the merge process, if the merge-source cmdl file (as specified by Merge cmdl) contains non-model reference data (like textures and lookup tables), then the merge-result cmdl file will not be created properly.
  When this is the case, the exporter will create the temporary file merge_cmdl$XXX.cmdl (where XXX is the merge-source filename) in the save-to folder.

2010-09-27

Added or modified functionality

• Updated the plug-in to Ver. 1.1.0.
• Support for intermediate file format version 1.1.0.
• Support for Visibility Animation.
• Support for Color Animation.
• Support for Texture SRT Animation.
• Support for Export Animation Range mode.
• Added the Adjust Skinning option for determining the skinning mode to the Export plug-in.

• Deprecated Translate Precision, Rotate Precision and Scale Precision for specifying animation precision from the Export plug-in and added the Quantize Quality option.
• Added Plug-in for Setting Mesh Combine Groups (NW4C Set Combine Group)
• Added Plug-in for Setting Animation Range (NW4C Set Animation Range).
• Deprecated the Compress Node option Unite Below Node from the Export plug-in.

Bug Fixes

• For skin meshes, nodes would be compressed even if Don't compress this node was set. That problem has been fixed.
• The names for specular and other lookup table sets overlapped with the names for light-containing lookup table sets. That problem was corrected.
• If a CMDL file containing double-byte characters in its path was specified for merging, the merge process did not work correctly. That problem was corrected.
• If the Windows user name contained double-byte characters the optimization process would not execute. That problem was fixed.
• When a mesh with more than 65,535 vertices is exported an error is now generated.
• The merge process would fail when the name of the merge source file as specified by the Merge cmdl File option was the same as the name of the export file. That problem was fixed.
