It looks like the upload limit was set to 5Mb. I changed it to 35Mb for the forums. Haven't checked the website limits, so try it and see if it works.

You can find the new version in the first post:

Interesting, it works for me and not others?
If it was your understanding that this is the final release then I understand, but it is not.
This is a semi final version of the Final Update and was hoping to get some feed back and or some users to test it before it gets released officially. I found another issue and corrected it. Uploaded the new file in the first post in this thread.

Very curious how the layouts are showing on other users monitors.
When I made the last update, I had a smaller monitor.
I did not change any of the window sizes in either layout libraries.
My monitor resolution is 1080p, 1920 x 1080.
The stack's width should be set at 224 to accommodate the new Main2 toolbar, which I did not set.
Not sure what would be best for different users.
Note: Both the Old and New layouts exist in the Library.
Presently the Layouts - Configurations is being used which is the new layouts.
Testing switching layouts, I discovered tS761 only works with one name, as in Layouts - Configurations
To load the OLD layouts you have to rename them in the Library Browser.
1.) Rename Layouts - Configurations to Layouts - ConfigurationsNEW
2.) Rename Layouts - ConfigurationsOLD to Layouts - Configurations
3.) Select the Default layout tab.
Note: You can tell the differences of the layouts by their icons.

The update works for me on a fresh install. Nice layout. I like that.

It didn't worked at first on an old one loaded with Clintons scripts and other stuff, so I had to re-install tS7.61.

That's a good point. I think the previous unofficial updates recommended doing a fresh install. Is this new one designed to install over previous updates?

Ran test on tS7.61 + previous unofficial update + persistent installed scripts.
Loaded and works without any problems. Lost my custom toolbars. Got them back quickly via the batch installer.

"Show All objects" button looks the same as the "Render Scene with offline renderer" button. They need to look different to avoid confusion.

Library Places inside the Material Editor was "sticky". It would always show all libraries until I clicked it a few times then switching to D3dMaterials only showed material libraries. Looks like a one time thing though, all other subsequent use works as expected..

New version uploaded.
Additional updates:

Widgets
* Select/Camera - Changed the coloring of the widget. Note: Still a WIP as I am trying to change the MMB gestures...
Camera2.PNG
Camera2.PNG (9.15 KiB) Viewed 14693 times
* Tools /Move, Rotate, Scale, Camera Move, Camera Rotate, Camera Scale, and Zoom - Changed all of the Cancel(s) from MMB to Shift + Mouse Left Click. Now it does not conflict with the Background widget.

* View Widget/Encircle (Green shape) - Changed the Reset View to Shift + Mouse Left Click

Added: Vray Materials.mtl to the Library folder

All toolbars with the Hide/Show buttons have been changed to a different color format to look less like the Render icons.

I tried to remove the Main Library Place from the Library Places' Combo Control but I was not able to. I did change it to D3D Materials and DX9 so hopefully that works better. Selecting the Update Library Places icon usually fixes it

Render and Show/Hide is better.
Material Editor still sticky on first run. Now it starts stuck in the D3D Materials list instead of the Main Library Place list, so that's better.

Where is "Update Library Places icon"?

No issues to report.

Clinton,
Can you take a look at the Move node in Widgets/Select/Camera/Move?
Camera Widget.PNG
Move.PNG
Trying to exchange the RMB Drag with Alt + LMB state.
Like I did in Stand and Rotate.
Rotate.PNG
It should move Forward and Reverse.
For the life of me I can not get it to work.

Saul, that is something I made that was added to the library, it could be the widget those guys made uses the same widget weight. in the activation node. It uses 2.00 you might need to change that to a higher number to over power their on the Automatic activation Node in the widget.. It only had to compete with the original when it was created. Sorry I can't help beyond that as I don't use the update as it breaks my own tools.

No I had it hooked up correctly to all 3 connections.
I had the Alt hooked up to A, and the mouse button hooked up to B. Just like the others.
When I swapped those connections (like you have it), it works.
tS7 can be so strange sometimes.
Thank you so much for your help!

If you upload a modified version that works, I will include it in the update.
Presently there is the original Camera1 widget - Weight = 1, and another Camera widget - Weight = 2

David, you can just change the weight from 2.0 to 3.0 and put it back in the library as it's been there since ts7.6 or reduce your to 1.5.

Thanks, the instructions are in the first post where the file is.
Show me a screen capture after you install it, and let me know your monitor's resolution.

Download the tS761B8 Final Update.zip file and unzip the tS761B8 Final Update.exe

Steps for applying the tS7.61B8 Final Update:

Uninstall VRAY and close trueSpace before applying the Final Update!

1.) Run the tS761B8 Final Update.exe
2.) Browse [...] to where you installed trueSpace eg: C:\trueSpace761, select the trueSpace761 folder, and then the Extract button.
3.) Select the Yes to All button.
4.) Open trueSpace and select the Reset to Default Context icon and the Default layout tab.

tested installation, no errors to report
material editor library place is reliable with only 1 choice "D3DMaterials", will this have other options? like if vray is installed. If not it should be removed since you don't really have a choice to make.

LOL Clinton, do you remember you help me create this?
So it was not sticking this time?

This is the way it was setup in the UnOfficial Update v.3 and also with NO update.
You do not need to use the Library Browser Edition at all including with VRay.

To enable the Library Browser, select the Update Library Places icon in the Material Editor.
In the Library Places -> Combo Control, select the Main Library Place.
In the next Combo Control, select which libary you would like to open.
Note: At anytime your libraries are not showing, select the Update Library Places icon again to update the Libray Places.
To use the D3DMaterials, select the D3DMaterials in the Library Places -> Combo Control.
In the next Combo Control, select the Materials - DX9

It is not necessary to use the the Library Browser Edition with VRay to find Vray materials in the main library, because the Vray Material Editor's material spheres open their materials.

Also there is a tS761 issue that develops when Installing/Loading and Unloading/Reinstalling from the Package Manager and also with Reinstalling Vray. Selecting the Update Library Places icon fixes it.

Can you show me a full screen capture after you install this update, and let me know your monitor's resolution?

Did you notice the Rosetta version?

Can't say I recall helping at all on that.

Nope, didn't see the rosetta version, downloading now.

No sticking, even after using the button to activate the main library. :bananathumb:

Modiifications:
Added D3D Material Converter.RsObj inside the MaterialEditor.
Changed the panel making it more compact.
Added a Popup.

Added OnDefault properties to 'SetMaterialEditorMode' script.

Added resets to 'ConvertMaterialType' script
Node.ConReset("/Material Editor/Material Editor","Material instancing")
Node.ConReset("/Material Editor/Material Editor/D3D Material Converter", "MatEditInstancing")
Note: The above resets were added to put the Material Editor back into the default setting after each use.

Added Get shader from library to 'convert compiled to d3d' and 'convert d3d to indigo' scripts
Example:
shader = RsFileIO.LoadObject(System.GetMainDir() + "\\RS Main Libraries\\Shaders - Color Shaders\\TextureShader.RsMat", d3dmat);

Removed Shaders from D3D Material Converter.RsObj

Warning: There is no D3D material equivalent for DiffuseStrength, SpecularStrength, Transparency, and VertexColorStrength. So when converting the compiled materials that have these attributes to D3D, it will change the appearance. Metal and Transparent materials for sure.

Instructions say that you have to select the Material node inside your object, but I have found it works by simply selecting your object.

Notes from Clinton Reese:

Script for converting workspace materials to different instancing types (None, Object and Scene), convert compiled to open D3D materials, convert D3D materials to Yafaray and Indigo materials.
Selected Only is to convert a selected object only, otherwise all objects in the scene are converted.

Instancing - Converts to the 3 styles of workspace material instancing: None, Object and Scene. This can be used to convert to scene instancing as a first step in converting to Indigo materials.

Compiled -> D3D - converts materials from a closed compiled format to an open "BlankDXMaterial" style. This is useful as a first step in converting compiled or lightworks materials from modelside to Yafaray or Indigo materials. The FBX exporter also uses this style of material.

D3D -> Yafaray - converts a BlankDX style material to a Yafaray material. Choose the type of Yafaray material from the drop down list. "library" is the name of the folder that contains the Yafaray materials within the Main Library Place, Rs Main Libraries.

D3D -> Indigo - converts a BlankDX style material to a Indigo material. Choose the type of Indigo material from the drop down list. "library" is the name of the folder that contains the Indigo materials within the Main Library Place, Rs Main Libraries. Indigo materials use scene instancing and this script will not convert object or none type instanced materials.

To convert a scene instanced material to D3D, Yafaray or Indigo for a selected object(selected only):
Set the material editor to edit picked materials
Pick the material on the object and edit it in the link editor
Select the material node
Run the conversion

Notes:
Use at your own risk. - There are several different material node connections and encapsulations. There may be some cases that have not been accounted for which could make the conversion unpredictable. Save your scene first and you will be safe.
Most scenes don't use instancing and most scripts are written with that in mind.
An object with scene instancing will lose it's materials when the object is saved by itself.
Lightworks materials may be lost when instancing is applied or the material type is converted.
Most materials in the Materials-DX9 and Materials-Textures libraries are compiled materials.
Most of the exporters on this website only work with BlankDX style materials.
BlankDX == D3D as far as this script/plugin is concerned
Compiled == material node that has no orange box to open and edit the internal node connections.

Nope, don't see any reason why not, they are just mesh nodes. I think it's only tricky with things like spotlights with it's many pieces.

I do not think that would be a very good idea as there is requirements needed to install them.
This update does not have an installer.
Clinton has a persistent installer for all of his tools.
http://clintons3d.com/plugins/truespace ... stent.html

Edit: The Clinton toolbar is part of the update.

So if you have any of his tools installed, you select that icon to reload them, and of course make sure the plugins are Installed/Loaded.

What are the steps to restore your tools after applying the update?
Copy and replace your clintonobjects folder and library.
Then run the C3D restore, Load/Install your plugins and Reset the Default Context?

@ Clinton
Is the Background's LookAt Selection in Update 4 working for you?
Or is it my Wireless mouse's MMB?

Also I like how Modeler's Material Editor/Inspect tool selects the object and keeps active to inspect other objects again selecting the object.

Trying to replicate this with Workspace's Inspect tool. Best I can come up with so far (As shown) deactivates the Inspect tool.

LookAt is working from the toolbar buttons. Is there some MMB shortcut for lookat?

Tried using a sequence node for inspect + select and it crashed tS. No other ideas.

Can you check out this Material editor Widget?
Material Inspect
LMB = Inspect material
LMB + Drag = Edit material in LE
RMB + Drag = Inspect material + Select Object
Edit:
If it works I was thinking about switching the gestures.
LMB + Drag = Inspect material + Select Object
RMB + Drag = Edit material in LE
Or if you have a better idea?

the_ant, first off HI from Steinie! :bananacheers:

Here is a History Lesson that most people do not know about.
trueSpace 7.6 was the last version that VRay would work with.
trueSpace 7.61 was released on 5/22 2009 and VRay did not work with this version. (It would not load the scenes)
A secret version of VRay was used by developers with 7.61 (version tS76_Vray1_54B8.exe) that fixed the problem.
Caligari then released a "Patch" for VRay to work with trueSpace 7.61
So if your VRay works with trueSpace 7.61 you already have the Patch installed.

Names and Places have changed, killed, tied to a rock and dropped in the middle of a large lake not to be named.

Hi....
Thanks Steinie for your support about vRay/tSp story...i just suspected the coincidence for "patch vRay1.53=tS76_Vray1_54B8" :bananacheers:

@trueBlue: my question is about installation (not visualization) of PDF Manual (in Cellulo unoff-update version 2.1 of tSp7.6 is customized by Cellulo) thanks again... :bananahi:

The original PDF Manual is a 50 MB file -> tS76PDF.exe
You run it and install it to where your trueSpace installation is.

The Update includes missing tS76PDF files and additional Model help files and overwrites the ts76_manual.html file, so it is important, as the instructions say, to install the tS76PDF first before the update.

Can you be more specific (not working/sometimes works) or is it a case of inconsistent/unpredictable behavior? I'm also on win10.

I just had an idea...

1. try using the 1 of 4 select instead of the 1 of 3
2. try running this command to get a freshly created 1 of 3, maybe the library version is old

Code: Select all

	Node.Create("Widgets Package/One from three select",Space.CurrentScene());

@ Clinton: I experimented with your Zoom 2 Selection widget extensively. It may be my setup (Win10) but I confirmed that the One from three select nodes have issues.

Can you be more specific (not working/sometimes works) or is it a case of inconsistent/unpredictable behavior? I'm also on win10.

My Widgets Package is the original that ships with tS761B8.exe

First of all your Zoom 2 Selection unmodified, does not work at all for me with MMB Double click.

I tried replacing just the MMB Double click with LMB Drag.
Zoom 2 PE selection worked prefectly everytime but Zoom 2 Object only worked once maybe twice out of several tries.
Strange, right?
I know that the Zoom to Object was working because I would call it from a script without the widget.
Which confirmed to me that has to be the One From Three Select nodes or the way it is setup chaining all 3 keys to 2 One From Three Select nodes.
Zoom 2 All also worked but seemed unpredictable in that I would see it Zoom to all of the objects in the scene and then in the same scene it would Zoom way (WAY) out. Like it was the complete opposite of Zooming In.
Also noticed that the script lagged and it did not fire until I released my Ctrl and Shift keys. Which to me means the first key should be the last key. IE: A = Ctrl and B = MMB Double click.
HTH

I hope that you will try this version as it seems to flow better to me with LMB Drag.
It's still the same as you had it but with two additional gestures.
I was kinda of surprised that you can feed one script with two gestures.

Works great with the Rectangle Zoom too. LMB Drag to Zoom In and RMB Drag to Zoom Out. (Reset View)
Same with your Zoom 2 Object. LMB Drag to Zoom In and RMB Drag to Zoom Out.

Again Note: I set the Prority = 2 on the Offline render/Area scene render widget and the View tools/Rect zoom widget
so that they all worked as expected.

Maybe the Mouse's MMB is not a good choice as it has multiple functions. MMB click, MMB Double click, MMB click Left, MMB click Right, and MMB wheel. Then there are some users that do not have a MMB.

Edit 5/31/2018
@ Clinton - My apologies to you!
Went out and bought a Mouse today and your Zoom 2 Selection works as you have intended.


Another try...
Must had been the chaining mentioned earlier.
If you notice the keys, are swapped to as mentioned earlier.

LMB Drag = Look at Selection
LMB Drag + Ctrl = Look at Object/PE selection
LMB Drag + Shift = Look at All
RMB Drag = Reset View
Capture.PNG
Personally I like the Look at Object/PE selection without a combination key set.

Unlike the above.

LMB Drag + Ctrl = RsTool.LookAtSelection('');
LMB Drag = Look at Object/PE selection objects.
LMB Drag + Shift = Look at All
RMB Drag = Reset View

There was a conflict with the previous Background - Zoom 2 Selection widget with the PE Paint tool so I changed the gesture to:
Shift + LMB Drag - Zooms to the current selected object or Point Edit selection.
It's actually using LMB State but it is used the same way. Hold your Shift key down and LMB click and drag down a little bit.
