CHOP track names can now have the character '.' in them. Previously any '.' would be silently converted to underscores ('_'). This allows relative paths to be specified in the track name. Likewise, while a path of /obj/model/tx used to never export, it will now export as an absolute path of "/obj/model/tx".

6.0.187

There is a new built-in procedural geometry shader for mantra:

metapoly [-o object] [-v velocity_attrib] [-t shutter] [-L LOD]

The metapoly procedural will convert metaball geometry to polygons at render time. This will typically use more memory than direct rendering of metaballs.

However, this means that render speed of metaball geometry can be tuned using the level of detail parameters in objects (or the -L option to mantra, or the -L option to the procedural).

Displacement shaders may also be applied to the procedural.

Motion blur of metaballs can also be accomplished by specifying a velocity attribute name (and time scale).
