Revision of Release: GL Tools, v1.2 from Sat, 2009-06-13 18:51

This version of GLTools adds numerous enhancements, fixes, and improvements.

• Alpha blend ports got a significant performance improvement -- also some bug fixes from the alphas that caused problems outside of QC.

• A new Depth Sort environment patch (with sample composition)

• The Spline Corruption bug was fixed (finally)

• There's a new Cube Structure patch, for rendering axis-aligned cubes at several locations simultaneously -- this works just like the Point Structure patch.

• The point-structure and line-structure patches received some optimizations and tweaks. Also, the demo compositions show "indexed" mode, which typically performs better than keyed mode.

• There's a new Inverse Rotation patch, which allows you to align objects to the screen (kinda like billboards) -- handy for sprite-powered particle systems (the depth sort demo demonstrates this patch as well).

• Other assorted memory leak fixes and performance tweaks.

The zip contains the plugin, as well as sample compositions.
