Hi all, Soya 0.12 is out !
There is many new features and bugfix, see the complete changelog below. Many Soya objects were having weird names; they have been renamed to more comprehensive names (however, backward-compatibility is fully ensured). Download Soya 0.12: http://download.gna.org/soya/Soya-0.12.tar.bz2 http://download.gna.org/soya/SoyaTutorial-0.12.tar.bz2 In addition, a new documentation for Soya is under writing, the current version is here: http://download.gna.org/soya/soya_guide.pdf and the sources are available in Soya SVN (in LyX format). Changelog: * July 2006 : Soya3D 0.12 * Massive renaming (backward compatibility is maintained through aliases): Idler -> MainLoop Shape -> Model Cal3dShape -> AnimatedModel Shapifier -> ModelBuilder Volume -> Body Cal3dVolume -> Body (merged with Volume) Land -> Terrain * New sound API (see soya.Sound, soya.SoundPlayer and tuto sound-1.py) * Static and auto_static: all Soya objects (inheriting from CoordSyst) have now a "static" attribute that can be use to tag them as static for optimizing them, and an "auto_static" attribute (defaulting to true) that allows Soya to automatically determine wether they are static or not * Static shadows: static object's shadows are rendered faster * New method MainLoop.update, for embedding Soya inside Tk (or other GUI or mainloop) ; MainLoop.start has been removed since it has never been really working * Font now inherits from SavedInAPath (=> you can have a data/fonts/ directory) * Dynamic model deforming (see tuto deform-1.py); this feature is still under work and the API may change in the next release. * Auto-exporters can now be disabled (soya.AUTO_EXPORTERS_ENABLED = 0) * Bugfix: * Bugfix in 3DSmax exporter on material (thanks Snaip) * The Blender => Soya auto-exporter no longer require that Blender can import Soya. This was causing some weird bugs with some Blender binaries. * Fix for 64 bits platforms. * Bugfix on mirroring (scaling with negative values) * Bugfix on shadows on AnimatedModel: soya was segfaulting if the model was culled on the first rendering Jiba _______________________________________________ Soya-user mailing list Soya-user@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/soya-user
