New Service Pack 1 for thinkingParticles 6.4
Hot fixes and additional new features


Cebas Visual Technology Inc. is pleased to announce the release of its Service Pack 1 for thinkingParticles 6.0 Drop 4 for 3ds Max 2015 to 2017. ThinkingParticles 6 Drop 4 Service Pack 1 offers users more stability and improved interoperability with 3ds Max.

Additional Features in thinkingParticles 6. 4 SP 1

EggTimer

In Drop 4, Cebas offered the new feature, ‘ReachedHold’.
With this SP 1 hot fix, |ReachedHold| will act as a new output staying active after reaching the event. This is in contrast to the previous |Reached| output that fires only once.

SnapShot

Now you can combine two particle shapes into one like a breeze ! The enhanced SnapShot operator will support a two pronged ‘Particle A’ and ‘particle B’ input which then allows a combined individual particle shaped into one. Two particles become one particle with only one mesh.

Object

The Object Helper operator adds a new Particle A and Particle B to evaluate or process pairs of particles in an object list to allow for a GeomContact AB test.


 Bugfixes in in Drop 4 SP 1

  •  Intersect operator could fail on possible self-intersections, this has been improved for many situations.
  •  The auto-backup feature of 3ds Max was interfering with the student edition "save" dialog. Now, this dialog will only show one time per max session.
  •  Alembic Export Material ID Fix when using Per Object per Particle.
  •  StdEmitter, random positions stop after 4000 points this has been fixed.
  •  VolumeBreaker, when you used more cells as set in max chunks the fragmentation was not done at all; this is fixed now.
