This bug has been fixed. The conditions are as follows. 531</p> 532<ul><li>It is a skinning model 533</li> 534<li>Two or more rigid skinning shapes (shapes receiving the impact of 100% of the weight of a single bone) exist, and they are joined in optimization (i.e., they share a material) 535</li> 536<li>The joined shapes are of exactly the same shape and size (more precisely, they are the same shape in terms of the bone coordinate systems that impact them) 537</li> 538</ul> 539<h3 id="note_42-C02">Note 42-C02: (Properties Panel General Information) Fixed a bug in the upper and lower limit display for the slider that occurred in tablet use environments</h3> 540<p>In an environment where the tablet is set for right-hand use, there was a problem where the slider's upper and lower limit pop-up display position was shown in reverse. This has been fixed. 541</p> 542<h2 id="version_1_3_0">Changes in 1.3.0</h2> 543<h3 id="note_41-C01">Note 41-C01: (Optimization) Fixed problem of optimization failing when <B>Compress Same Material</B> done on material set with user data</h3> 544<p>Optimization would fail and the tool would end abnormally when <B>Compress Same Material</B> was run on materials for which user data was configured. That problem was fixed. 545</p> 546<h3 id="note_41-C02">Note 41-C02: (Binary Export) Fixed problem of selecting large format of wrong size when quantizing animation curve</h3> 547<p>Depending on the error calculated when conducting an error calculation, sometimes a large format of the wrong size would be selected. That problem was fixed. The data size has been improved for certain cases, such as when data which in theory produce no errors are quantized to a quality of 9. 548</p> 549<h3 id="note_41-C03">Note 41-C03: (Binary Export) Fixed a bug where binaries would be saved with changed values during animation playback</h3> 550<p>In particular, improved the problem that occured when switching and displaying animations on actual device viewers. 551</p> 552<h3 id="note_41-C04">Note 41-C04: (Properties Panel General Information) Fixed a problem where lookup table sets could not be edited in a link-broken state</h3> 553<p>In the settings for lookup tables in the Properties panels for materials and fragment lights, you could not edit lookup table sets correctly if links were broken.

This has been fixed. 604</p> 605<h3 id="note_41-C21">Note 41-C21: (General Information) Warning about the <CODE>IsNonuniformScalable</CODE> attribute for skeletal models</h3> 606<p>The <CODE>IsNonuniformScalable</CODE> attribute (which is specified for correct lighting when the XYZ scale is non-uniform) for skeltal models was abolished. A warning display will now appear for the relevant models. 607</p> 608<p>The main reasons for its removal are as follows. 609</p> 610<ul><li> Up until now, it had not been supported in the NW4C Standard Runtime Library. 611<ul></li> 612<li> You needed to describe a proprietary user shader to make it work. 613</li> 614</ul></ul> 615<ul><li> Plans had been to support it in the standard runtime library, but it became unsupported. 616</li> 617</ul> 618<p>Performance can be improved when re-exporting skeletal models that have ten or more bones. With the new exporter, the export options have been removed, and export occurs in a forced off state. 619</p> 620<h3 id="note_41-C22">Note 41-C22: (Intermediate File I/O) Added information to intermediate file summary information (<CODE>ContentSummaryMetaData</CODE>)</h3> 621<p>Under the <CODE>ContentSummaryMetaData</CODE> element, denoted for each model the total index stream count (<CODE>TotalIndexStreamCount</CODE>), the total polygon count (<CODE>TotalPolygonCount</CODE>) and the total vertex count (<CODE>TotalVertexCount</CODE>). 622</p> 623<h3 id="note_41-C23">Note 41-C23: (Intermediate File I/O) Added a warning display about the normally not used alpha value animations</h3> 624<p>Added a warning display about the normally not used alpha value animations.

When using fully-baked format, it is possible to decrease the animation evaluation processing load beyond that of frame format. However, there are large-scale feature restrictions, and data increases greatly in size. 631</p> 632<p>For more information, see the NW4C Function Reference > Graphics Documentation > Animation > Precision Features. 633</p> 634<p>Added processing to store after multiplying the number of frames by the scale, and made revisions such that this type of animation can be quantized as well. 635</p> 636<h3 id="note_41-C26">Note 41-C26: (Binary Export) Improved the calculation precision when quantizing animation curves</h3> 637<p>When storing key values, changed from floating point to rounding of integers, to round up.
