6.0.50

On Windows, mcp now has command line options to save and load codec settings file. Useful for scripting movie compression without requiring user intervention.

Special Windows Usage:

mcp [-r framerate] -w width -h height -C settings_file

This usage will prompt you for the compression settings for an AVI file and save them to the specified options file. After that, you can use the -c option with the settings file in the regular usage to compress without further prompting.

NOTES: - The options file is a platform dependent binary file.

  • The -r, -w, -h options must match when reusing the file.

eg. Create an options file: mcp -r 24 -w 640 -h 480 -C cmp.opt eg. Use options file: mcp tmp*.pic -o -c cmp.opt -r 24 -w 640 -h 480 tmp.avi

6.0.48

A Dissolve bug was fixed which caused different results depending on the platform. Dissolve behaves the same way on all platforms. This means, however, that for certain platforms, Dissolve will now have a different output.

Guide geometry now supports display lists... This means, among other things, that tumbling in the pops viewport while the simulation is stopped will not be dragged to a halt simply because of guide geometry.

6.0.41

The boneangle() expression now gives the intuitive behaviour of returning the angle at the joint between the two given bone objects instead of between the two negative z-axes. Old behaviour can be obtained from setting the environment variable HOUINI55_COMPATIBILITY. Old boneangle() expressions were usually subtracted from 180 to give the desired behaviour which is no longer required.
