FORM·Z 6.1 PLUGIN UPDATES

  • Crash on OSX when loading fZ files to formZ was fixed
  • Objects with mixed topology are rendered properly (they were ignored previously)
  • Search for missing MXMs can be canceled
  • Image path for HDR based background/reflection/refraction/illumination is visible in the dialog
  • Illumination option for HDR fixed in dialog
  • An attempt to map style with MXM loaded will not overwrite existing MXM file - instead the user is asked whether he wants to overwrite the MXM file
  • formZ asks for missing images on export only once
  • Mirrored symbols are handled properly in Maxwell Studio when instancing is on
  • Support for an error log was implemented - errors are displayed at the end of the export process only (no need to confirm them multiple times)
  • Refresh button for the Maxwell material preview was implemented
  • Search for missing MXM material was fixed - full path is shown in the dialog

Re-Engineering Point Clouds

Deriving properly structured objects from arbitrary and unstructured collections of coordinate points as generated by 3D laser digitizers. These objects can be structured as polygonal entities or as NURBS surfaces, which can subsequently be manufactured by one of the CAM methods. This is reverse engineering of physical objects at its best.
