Modeling ¶
-
New
Measure Thickness SOP creates an attribute that contains the thickness of the input object at each point. -
New parameters on the Attribute Blur SOP for blending the blurred result with the original input.
-
New
Flatten SOP to flatten 3D geometry by moving its points to a 2D plane. -
New
Linear Solver SOP. -
New nodes for working with point clouds:
Point Cloud Normal, 
Point Cloud Reduce, and 
Point Cloud Surface. -
New
Quad Remesh node converts an arbitrary mesh into a structured quadrilateral mesh.
Capybara test geometry-
New features and workflow enhancements to the
Curve node, including soft transform and mixed curve types. -
In the
Draw Curve node, you can now edit the properties of previously drawn curves on the Stroke tab. -
New
Group Invert node creates a new group from all components not in an existing group. -
New
PolyHinge node. -
Added the Scale option to
Circle from Edges.
Textures and masks ¶
-
New Texture Mask Paint node for painting mask textures (such as scatter density).
-
Improved
Joint Capture Paint node. -
New
Scatter in Texture Mask node for using a texture to scatter points on a mesh. -
The
File node has a new option to import texture files as 2D volumes. -
The
Attribute from Map node has a new option to use 2D volumes as input. -
Added Pin Border Points option to
Mask by Feature.
TopoTransfer ¶
-
New
Topo Flow node for 4D processing of scanned geometry with texture alignment. Scene files demonstrating how to use Topo Flow to fit a template mesh to a series of scans for the purpose of capturing facial expressions with correct texture alignment are available for download on the Content Library.
-
The
Texture Feature, 
Texture Optical Flow, and 
Topo Flow Sample use computer vision to find features in textures.
Heightfields and terrains ¶
-
Tapered heightfields allow frustum-shaped heightfields.
-
New heightfield sharpen parameters on HeightField Blur.
Volumes ¶
-
You can now create vector and integer volumes.
-
New
VDB Rasterize Frustum SOP for rasterizing point attributes into density, mask, float, vector, and integer grids. -
Added the Preserve Holes parameter on the VDB from Polygons SOP to properly keep holes and generally perform better at closing small gaps.
