Engine 0149

From VRwiki

This engine introduces the new CVmCamera class and add new mathematics functions.

What's new

• Added several mathematical functions dealing with matrices, quaternions, angles conversions (see documentation for details)
• Added CameraGetCurrent returning a CvmCamera object
• Added CameraLinkToListener
• Addes VarStringEncode, VarStringDecode
• openGl support:

1. Added glVertexAttrib implementation
2. Added glGetError implementation

• CVmCamera:

1. Added the CVmCamera class and methods

• CVmVRAWAV:

1. Added Seek method

• CVmAvatar:

1. Added hide/unhide flag for IK goals in the IKStart method
2. Added GetFrames, ForceSkinSubsetMaterial, ForceSkinMaterial methods
3. Added Normalize method

• CVmBillboard:

1. Added SetTexture method

• CVmCharacter:

1. Added SetPivotPoint, GetPivotPoint methods

• CVmFbo:

1. Added InitMultiSampling and EnableMultisampling methods

• CVmLight:

1. Added GetDirection method

• CVmObj:

1. Added LinkToWav method

• CVmShaderProgram:

1. Added GetAttributeIndex method

• CvmText:

1. Added support to non ANSI charsets in the CVmText constructor

• CVmNewMesh:

1. Added Append method
2. Added support to subdivisions in VRP_PLANE procedural meshes
3. Addes support to XVID compressed video textures

• AAM files now start with a line indicating the type (meshes, characters, avatars etc.)
• CAM files now start with a line indicating the modeler type (MAX, IDASF, VRML, etc.)

Fixed bugs

• Console texts with y=0 did not appear
• Translated residual italian documentation messages
• Several corrections in the documentation
• Materials and textures might have an odd behaviour if using materials display lists (default behaviour since version 148)
• CVmMaterial:

1. Transparency did not work correctly

• CVmLight:

1. SetLightParam did not work correctly with some parameters

• CvmNewMesh:

1. VRP_EXTRUSION procedural meshes were forced to have an integer height. Now it can correctly be a float.
2. VRP_PLANE was forced to appear at z=-1 rather than at z=0
3. ForceMaterial did not work correctly
4. VR_SORT_TRANSPARENT might not work correctly together with VR_OPTIMIZE
5. Improved texture coordinates handling
6. Video textures might not work correctly when using display lists for materials (default behaviour since version 148)

• CVmCharacter:

1. IDASF files now have a default shinines of 64 rather than 0.5
2. Now correctly supports material animations exported from 3dsMAX

• CVmObj:

1. SetScale did not work correctly

• CVmBillboard:

1. Double faced billboards had visualization errors in the back face
2. SetMaterial did not work with textured materials

• VmFunction:

1. LoadBackground did not work correctly

• CvmAvatar:

1. LoadBVH did not work correctly

• CvmText:

1. SetPosition and SetScale did not work when using system fonts
2. Passing an emty string to the constructor caused XVR to crash
