VTube-LASER v1.77.4

Revision 1.77.4 Back to VTube-STEP Back to VTube Software Updates Back to VTube-LASER

NEW: Floating Pulldown Menus

The menus are floating because they can be pulled off the pulldown and moved anywhere on the screen during the current session.

NEW: Pulldown Recent Project List

Recent Projects can be reloaded with one click from the File pulldown menu.

NEW: Low Level User Interface Value: Maximum Recent Files

Use this to control how many files display in the Recent Project list in the pulldown menu, the

NEW: Real "Save" Command Distinct from "Save As..."

VTube now allows you to save the current project without having to supply the current filename again. Hit the blue disk, and VTube will save the data without any interruption.

ENHANCED: Best Fit - Automatic Weighting Algorithm Logic Redesigned

The Best Fit Automatic Weighting alignment type logic was redesigned to follow better tests for finding the best end-weights automatically. The first significant change is that the algorithm now finds the orientations with the least number of total tangent points out of tolerance before examining the deviation averages. This extra orientation cull better meets the goal of automatic weighting by ensuring that orientation selected has the least number of points out of tolerance - not just the lowest average deviation. The second significant change is that VTube now allows you to choose the Deviation to Tolerance ratio in the Best Fit grid in order to help the Best Fit engine to know what deviation range you consider good enough for a solution. This can speed up the automatic fit significantly.

ENHANCED: Feed Back Progress during Best Fit - Automatic Weighting

ENHANCED: Allow the Drawing of ZERO Value Radii

VTube can now draw a zero-radius bend in the model with displaying an error.
