GS CurveTools v1.2.8 Update - Optimization and Bugfixes

Update Video:


New Features:

  • All the relevant buttons now have (optional) tooltips. Can be disabled in the Options.

Improvements:

  • Convert Curves is now out of beta (in the Options menu):
    • Card -> Card conversion will now correctly keep original orientation and profile.
    • Will now retain original materials on conversion.
    • Performance was improved.
    • Twist, Width and Profile Graphs are now applied to ALL selected curves.
  • Card to Curve algorithm was rewritten and improved:
    • Better compatibility and reliability for one-sided cards with different vert orders.
    • Optimization and speed-up of the algorithm
    • Cards with no width spans are now correctly converted.
  • Massive improvement of the Mirror operation:
    • Improved orientation and profile calculation during mirror for all Warp and Extrude cards.
    • Speed-up and optimization.
    • Much less orientation “drift” when using “Flip”.
  • Orient to Normals algorithm improvements:
    • Optimization and speed-up.
    • Increased precision with less iterations.
    • Cards will not flip or change orientation on continuous use on already aligned cards.
    • Reduced angle tolerance to 1 degree by default.
  • Select CVs slider was improved. Current hotkeys:
    • Shift + Drag: additive selection.
    • Alt + Drag: deselect CVs.
    • Ctrl + Drag: allows for slider movement without selection change.
  • Expanded supported texture formats list for the UV editor. Added TIFF (TIF).
    • Full list of supported texture formats: JPG, JPEG, PNG, TIF, TIFF, TGA (24bit, no RLE).
    • Also added additional info for the “Wrong format” error message. It will now specify that TGA has no support for RLE compression.
  • Minor improvements for curve creation algorithm (better refinement and divisions calculation)
  • Some minor UI adjustments

Bug Fixes:

  • Fixed a hotkey conflict with layer selection:
    • Holding Ctrl + clicking on Layer should now select the contents of that layer, and deselect everything else like intended.
    • Show Always on Top hotkey changed to Ctrl+Alt.
  • Fixed a bug where “Layer Isolation Selection” hotkey was not working properly. Now holding Shift+Alt and clicking on Layer will isolate select this layer properly.
  • Transfer UVs will now correctly transfer H-Flip UV attribute.
  • Select CVs slider will no longer deselect the last selected CV when using subtractive mode.
