Hi Everyone!
I’ve just released a new verision of Partio4Maya this week!
http://redpawfx.github.io/partio/
Version 0.9.6 contains a lot of fixes and some new features!
full changelog here:
http://redpawfx.github.io/partio/changeLog.html
but here’s the list!
-All memory leaks shoud now be fixed in all partio nodes!
-PartioVisualizer viewport icon changes color when no cache is present or its turned inactive
-PartioInstancer now supports all rotation/aim attributes that the maya instancer can use
-PartioExportGui now stores the checkbox status for each particle object on that object so when you re-open a scene or the partioExport window,you’ll have your last exported particles attributes already checked.
–PartioExprortGui now more intelligently handles file output path changes and allows user to change file path in the text edit line if desired,for quick versioning up
–All Partio nodes now support a “frameSkip” or “byFrame” attr for simple frame skip retimes directly in the node.
all releases are updated for Maya 2014 on all platforms, and seem to work fine in the latest “extension” release.
Email me with any problems you might have.
Also in this release I’ve got the compiled partio utils as well, and for those interested, in the source, there is now a full cmake buildable extension for Arnold 4.0.x and a Houdini Plugin mostly authored by Milo Green that I got compiling with the rest of the package.
Enjoy and Happy (slightly late) Halloween!
