New Features

Patches

• Fill menu options have been added to the Patches menu and the right-

click context menu on the canvas under Patches > Fill. Options include:

• Black,

• Gray,

• White,

• Foreground,

• Background,

• Transparent,

• UV Mask, and

• Wireframe.

The selected patches of the selected layers are filled with the selected

color, transparency, or mask, and can be applied to an entire model by

selecting all patches. Filling either the UV Mask or Wireframe applies

only to selected patches of the current layer’s current component, if

paintable.

clicking on the canvas and navigating to Patches > Transform.

• Mirror patch actions are now found on the Patches menu or by right-

Caching

•In the Layers menu and the right-click context menu in the Layers

palette, there are options to:

• Cache Layer,

• Cache Up to Here,

• Uncache Layer,

• Uncache Up To Here.

Caching or uncaching a layer also locks or unlocks it to prevent it from

being edited. Caching or uncaching a layer "up to here" also caches/

uncaches and locks/unlocks an entire layer stack up to the specific point.

• Indicators have been added to layer widgets in order to show the

computational cost of the layer and the accumulated cost of any

previous layers. The colors range from green to red, or blue if a layer has

been cached.

For more information on caching, please refer to the

Layers
