Beta

This beta of Kineme3D adds height map support, fixes some bugs, offers numerous performance improvements, and adds the latest FBX loader from Autodesk -- this speeds up OBJ loading a bit, and fixes some of the previous loader bugs (and, unfortunately, adds some new ones :( ).

This build of KinemeCore features some fixes and several aggressive optimizations. Overall, the user interface should be smoother than previous versions with KinemeCore installed.

Additionally, a Jump-To-Time feature was added that allows you to jump to any time in a composition. This is handy for inspecting timeline-based compositions. (Note that there's a "feature" in QuartzComposer where very very large time steps (0 to 20000seconds, for example) it will reset the time back to 0... not sure why it does this, but it's not us!)

As noted above, a lot of the changes this time around were optimizations/restructuring internally, so please hammer on it to make sure I didn't break anything in the process. Full Screen editors and Viewers are still quirky, I know that much, but otherwise things should behave identically to before.

Some possible bugs with crash report submissions have also been tinkered on -- if you experience a crash while doing this, please let us know, and provide as much information as possible (we've not been able to reproduce it in-house, so we're not sure exactly where to look)

One notable bugfix was when publishing to root from inside a green macro inside a red macro -- this would throw an exception and leave port publishing in a promptless state.

First public beta of our Freeboard patch. Should be pretty reliable, but there may be omissions/quirks that need ironing out. Let us know! :)

Freeboard is a patch that allows for arbitrary key presses without needing to create a noodle for each key.

This update to KinemeCore adds pause/step functionality, a rewritten preference pane, and publish/split-by-selection functionality. It also fixes a bug where the crash reporter would sometimes forget to record sent crash reports, leading to duplicates.

It does not fix the editor-on-top confusion nor alternative noodle drawing.

This update to Kineme3D enhances the performance of parametric surface generation, mesh simplifying, and mesh smoothing. Numerous bugs in simplification and smoothing were fixed (via a complete rewrite of the simplification/smoothing system ;)

Oh yeah -- I forgot to mention, you can drag/drop 3d models into the editor and Kineme3D creates a loader for them now. :)

Additionally, some other minor bugs were fixed as well.
