3DEqualizer4 R6
  • 3DE4 R6
  • 3DE4 R6b6 - Last beta version before final release 3DEqualizer4 Release 6
  • Dear Friends of 3DE!

    3DE4 r6b6 is now available - it will be the last beta version before the final version of 3DE4 R6 will be released!

    It provides many annoying bugfixes and a few additional new features:

    - We added a Butterworth filter option both to 3DE's build-in postfilter and script "Curve Editor->Edit->Filter Curves". Butterworth has some unique characteristics: its filter results are very close to the original curve but do not produce any "wave-like" patterns in case of rapid "jumps". Therefore, it might be necessary to crank up filter strength a bit for similar results in comparison to 3DE's original (post)filters.

    - We added a new script which allows to extract the overall motion of mocap points and transfer it into its parent (mocap) point group object. This is particularly helpful in connection with R6's new Rotomation Editor. The script allows to select one or more points as a basis for its calculation.

    - We finally fixed a bug which caused annoying euler flips to reappear on a permanent basis - especially for object point groups.

    - We fixed a lot of newly discovered (and follow up) bugs of our new image warp tool. Hopefully it will be production-ready now!

    Please see changelog below for more details...

      Cheers, Rolf
