Miarmy 2.0 Professional February 18, 2013Miarmy Professional 2.0 Solver Engine Action to Agent upgraded to memory to memory mapping technology, extreme fast Other Render Engine Renderman Procedural Primitive is about 3 times faster than before Arnold Procedural Primitives is about 2 times faster than before. All Procedural Program Open Source GUI Independent Brain Viewer Independent Transition Map Better Toolbar Better Menu Arrangement Brain Viewer can watch more details for each sentence Others: Geometry render visibility/hide control Bone translate assign blocker, after cache, fix depart problem! Fixed Issue: Rib cannot export transparency map Miarmy 1.7 Professional & Commander November 8, 2012 Miarmy Professional 1.5.8 Basic distributable simulation & cache merge Placer boundary Visual Geometry choose weighting Renderman RIB, optional for culling Single cache FBX exporter from Single Cache create place from polygon and lattice (formation) pos lock type placement, lock position, can change proportion, orientation, etc random by agent id RBD data accessor RBD Render instance drive Arbitrary Mesh Surface Adapting can mark our useless agent after caching (auto rebuild cache) faster method export RIB using pp 2 times faster place locator can be tweak individually same type agent can block collide checking randomize pick transition action (previous, is first one) random entry for default action agent momentum inertia factor control each bone/segment density can be specified master family channels, master -> slave relationship feeling chain master channel visiual indicator mesh drive 2 for cloth available auto IK system, any IK segment num, any axis & 2 types of up Vec Arnold Renderer procedural primitive .ass file exporting Arnold Render procedural primitive Open source (Only for customers and Arnold User) switch off the custom data hookup mesh drive extend to MR proxy and VR proxy exporting. noise.id(<floatseed>) noise.time(<floatseed>) bone(footprint) locators generator, with anim/dyn visibility switch mesh drive block saving switch timer channels (agent seed, frequency, ping-pong playback, etc) noise nodes, noise time frequency action weight can make some actions have bigger chance been choose in action group agent cache extended to parent channel, can transform space Kinematic Primitive Shape Update Switch in Physics Global Decision Output Filtering, can smooth the output logic relative previous frame Wild card on action exit choices RBD Cache Output Filter Miarmy Commander 1.5.8 Action Sync System action signal emitting, action signal receiving auto synchronization Traffic Module 1.0 crossroad system red/green light left/right turning control 3/4 socket road control Formation Control 2d/3d formation target verticle and horizontal and distance feeling Agent emit RBD based on action phase Fixed Issue: Rib cannot export transparency map mesh drive 1 & 2 can be used in referencing mode isSelfCollide not in memory rand texture for batch mode (hypeshade command) agent id display is from place id collide channel not work when partial break random ".tex" format in .slo and .sdl save callback MDGGrp_*, cannot save scene blend pop (precision, lead main action 0.95, shrink) faster bake bone (only on r, when cache t, on r and t) curve creation bug, with same name RBD + multi kinematic primitive bug mesh drive duplicating, driving and registering updata percent bugs mesh drive duplicated meshes auto parent to MDGGRPMASTER mesh drive bug when naming not fixe by Maya prefix mesh drive bug when duplicate but not auto rename.
