Hi Greg, I'll make an separate email about this now, but here is the list of improvements, they are massive actually:
IFX4 - Rewritten from the ground up as result has a huge improvements in GUI - Added operator-based fracturing as well as the boolean operator - Extended ICE nodes set to bring more flexible workflow - Speed increased about 2x times while memory consumption is half of original - Fixed memory leaks - Fixed most of crashes, now it just throws an error message - Fixed an awful execution time on some of extremely hi-poly meshes - Added slicer feature to define arbitrary regions on geometry to be fractured - Added painting fracture masks by WM or by using B\W textures as well as user-defined scalar per-point attribute - Added baking of ICE generated geometry into the regular mesh with regular clusters M4 - Alembic I\O instead of the old plot system - Ability to modify the simulation state of objects via null - Improved speed of clusters creation\deletion - Fixed multiple environment creation each time a scene has been opened - Fixed particle rigid body initialization after frame 1 - Simulation doesn't stop even with minimized XSI window - MOM ICE nodes honor the Global Momentum properties mute state - The "mute" param is now presented in the main MOM PPG - Added simulation speed control in the main MOM PPG - Added explicit maximum number of Rigidbodies in scene - Fixed collision issues between GImpacts and softbodies - Added an experimental collision shape mode - tetrahedron decomposition from each triangle - very stable since it is a native bullet shape.
