Build 473 (13th September 2009)

This section lists changes made since Fusion 6.0 build 470 was released. For a complete list of changes made since Fusion 5.3 and 6.0 build 402 please see this page.

Core

• Fixed a crash after detecting the graphics card’s float capabilities if there is no float support at all (eg. GeForce/Quadro 4, Matrox Parhelia, or worse).
• Matte gamma was inverted when processing float image pixels (but was correct when processing the canvas colour of a float image).
• Fixed another case where ‘infinite’ DoDs could be transformed when flattening concatenated transforms.
• For DoD capable tools, a DoD is required for an input if there’s an image at all, not only when an image is required for that input.
• Duplicate edge image sampling will return the canvas colour if there is no pixel data, instead of crashing.
• Fixed cleanup of ‘OperatorControl’s when a tool is deleted, which was causing a deleted XYPath to stay around in the view until a different tool was made active.
• Stopped certain pointer tag types from saving/loading.
• Fixed replace paint mode with 8bit masks.
• The “Image” tab is now always visible even on head mask tools, for access to the clipping mode option.

UI

• Updated tips from the VFXpedia page.

Formats

• Added pixel aspect support and more metadata fields for Cineon and DPX formats.
• Raw format could save out some pointer values which (when loaded back in) would be pointers to random memory, causing crashes. This was affecting cache to disk.

3D

• Using masks as textures work again. Texture2D, SphereMap, Projector3D, Camera3D can now take masks too.

Polylines, Paths & Grid Mesh

• Fixed some inconsistencies with click-append and draw-append modes in XYPath.
• The state of XYPath’s Close/Open toolbar button would occasionally get out-of-sync with the state of the XYPath itself.
• Fixed a crash using XYPath context menu items from its control window title.

Splines, Timeline & Spline Editor

• Fixed display of inputs with expressions that are also animated by a spline/modifier.
• Fixed disappearing splines from the LUT view if panning is performed by MMB clicking directly on a point.
• The status bar wasn’t being updated with the time at the mouse pointer position when hovering over guides.

Scripting

• AskUser() dialogs resize to their content properly again.
