Version History

Version 1.1.0.40

This version changes the expiration date to January 1, 2002.

Version 1.1.0.41

This version fixes a compiler bug in the previous version, and some long time scaling, rotation and shearing bugs. It also adds the most requested feature to Modeler - nudge. Nudge allows the arrow keys to be used to precisely control alignment, scaling, rotation, and movement.

Version 1.1.0.42

This version fixes a number of memory leaks.  It also fixes all bugs reported in the previous version, and many that were not.  It also add two frequently requested features - Redo and the ability to explicitly specify coordinates while editing a model.  Also, the nudge feature has been extended to vertex editing as well.

Version 1.1.0.43

This version fixes the bug that prevented JPEG textures from displaying on some 32bpp displays.  It also adds a preview window to the Load Texture dialog box, and makes minor enhancements to the Nudge feature.

Beta 3 - Version 1.1.0.49

Adds a "Reduced" ouput option to the Save menu to reduce the saved file size.  All of the objects generated by the mesh tool have been cleaned up and optimized.  A "Show Hidden Vertices" check box has been added to the Vertex Editing Tool.  A "Browse Textures" button has been added to the Painter Tool.  Fixed many bugs in Undo/Redo.  Adds a "Merge" function to the "Arrange" menu of the Pointer tool.  Adds a "Share Vertices" option to the Mesh Tool.  The Text object in the Create Mesh tool now allows multi-line text to be entered.  The Pointer tool now has a number of different alignment and spacing functions.

Beta 4 - Version 1.2.0.15

This version expires February 1, 2003.

The version is the interim release of a major upgrade to Modeler. It incorporates too many features to list here. For more information, the Interim Release Notes can be read here.

Beta 4 - Version 1.2.0.17

This version fixes a major date/time processing bug which, in some environments, caused the program to think it had expired on July 1, 2002.

Beta 4 - Version 1.2.0.18

This version fixes a bug in the RenderWare DLL version detection code. The program would hang at the splash screen if a version of the RenderWare DLLs other than 2.1.15 was installed on the system.

Beta 4 - Version 1.2.1.2

This version expires February 1, 2004.

This version fixes a bug with textures smaller than 128x128. Although models with small textures would render properly, they could not be saved.

Beta 4 - Version 1.2.1.3

This version fixes a bug introduced in 1.2.1.2 which stopped animated textures from working. Animated textures now function correctly.

Beta 4 - Version 1.2.1.4

This version expires February 1, 2005.

Beta 4 - Version 1.2.1.5

This version expires February 1, 2006.

Beta 4 - Version 1.2.1.6

This version expires February 1, 2007.

Upcoming Features

In progress for the next beta release are joint creation and removal, and clump tag editing.

Being considered for the next beta release are bounding box display, additional object creation primitives, and completion of context sensitive help.

As always, suggestions are appreciated, with the understanding that they are just that...suggestions.
