Veranderingen voor v11.2.2.0 - v11.2.2.2
- Music visualisation.
- Improved quality: the font glyphs, EPS shapes and blob particles are rendered with more polygons
- Optimization: the 3D glyph models of the text and scroller layers are now generated a lot faster resulting in faster loading shows and a more responsive editor
- New option: Do not adjust resolution when opening show
- Plasma layer resolution doubled
- 5 new particle layer properties: Launch Plane Position, Launch Plane Rotation, Launch Plane Size, Floor Level and Turbulence.
- 3 new physics effects: Accelerate Slow, Decelerate Slow and Accelerate and Decelerate Slow.
- 2 new spline effects: Spline Hulshoff and Spline Hulshoff Smooth.
- New particle layer effect: Pointing Randomly.
- New keyboard shortcuts to jump to the first, last, next and previous keyframes.
- New preset in the File > Set Show Resolution... dialog: Digital Cinema
- New shader: Special/Clip.fx.
- Changed behaviour: the Target Layer property of the particle layer works differently.
- Bugfix: 24 bits WAV audio files are now correctly exported
- Bugfix: 3D models of the particle layer are now correctly updated when switching between shapes (using the 1st dropdown below the textbox)
- Bugfix: animated target layers from the lightning and particle layers are now correctly loaded from in the .bt show files
- Bugfix: shadows and lightbeams now listen to the Submodel property of the model layer
