Posted by:EPHERE
Data created:14 October
New:
- Edit Guides is split into two tools, Edit Strands and Control Points, each with its own icon; a shortcut assigned to the old Edit Guides tool needs to be reassigned
- Edit Strands and Control Points tool panels hold the Edit Guides settings and actions, with icon buttons, instead of the Details panel
- Reworked Select Ornatrix Groom dialog: groom thumbnails (including compressed .oxz grooms), larger tiles, Directory row at the bottom, Enter and Escape keys
- Polished the Ornatrix sidebar: Tools and Brushes tabs have icons, and the version is shown in the About dialog
- Hair From Guides parameters are regrouped into Distribution, Interpolation, Guide Proximity and Generated Data
- Hair From Guides Guide Proximity has a Falloff that can vary over the surface
- Ground Strands has a Trim To Surface option
- Symmetry has a Mirrored Strand Groups option

Fixed:
- Crash when selecting guides or control points in Edit Guides
- Crash when applying the Feather preset to a dense mesh
- Grooms with Baked Guides, such as Create brush guides from 3ds Max, imported without hair
- Hair below a Filter stayed on the first frame of a deforming distribution mesh
- Edit Guides Surface tracking applied changes to the wrong guides after the base mesh vertices were moved
- Edit Guides Triangulation applied weights to strand points and composed strokes differently from Apply
- Hair From Mesh Strips: closed tube strips left one ring segment without hair, changed between evaluations, and Flow, UV Flow and Flip picked the wrong root edge
- Hair From Mesh Strips crashed on strip meshes without texture coordinates
- Strand Groups clumps took strands of other groups whose roots were close
- Dynamic Clumping kept its clumps after the Strand Group pattern or the input strand groups changed
- Jagged strands before the first pattern knot of a clump
- A Custom braid string's vertical scale did not reach clump patterns
- Normalize Strands shortened strands when neighbors fell outside the Radius
- Strands jumped with strand group Blend Distance when the group was empty
- The line cut brush randomly skipped a crossed strand
- Alembic export applied the up direction conversion before the object transform
