MfxVTK - 0.4.0

This release focuses on improving user experience. The effects have been restructured to be more intuitive to use and there is now proper documentation with examples at mfxvtk.readthedocs.io.

Release notes:

• new effects:
  • Sample Points (Surface)
  • Sample Points (Volume)
  • Extract Edges
  • Make Tubes
  • Tetrahedral Wireframe
  • Smooth
  • Decimate
  • Fill Holes
• other previously implemented effects are moved to second plugin: mfx_vtk_plugin_extra.ofx
• bugfix: Extract Edges (previously Feature edges) effect now works for extracting feature ("sharp") edges; previously the angle setting was broken
• the binaries are now built with OpenMP - this will benefit some effects (presently the Smooth effect in Windowed sinc mode)
• note that mfx_vtk_plugin.ofx version 0.4.0 exports differently named effects with different parameters than previous releases - loading .blend files which use previous versions of the plugin may lead to problems

Download plugin builds below. You can then use them with OpenMeshEffectForBlender releases.

MfxVTK - 0.3.0

Release notes:

• new feature: VtkVolumePointSamplerEffect (generates random points inside volume given by mesh)
• new feature: VtkDelaunay3DEffect (computes tetrahedral wireframe/convex hull of given points)
• new feature: VtkMaskPointsEffect (creates random subset of points, useful in combination with VtkPolyDataPointSamplerEffect)
• bugfix: VtkPolyDataPointSamplerEffect properly handles non-convex faces (#2)
• bugfix: VtkTubeFilterEffect can handle edges on input, too (previously only faces)
• OFX support: implemented kOfxMeshEffectActionIsIdentity
• better build instructions
• OpenMeshEffect is now included as a git submodule

Download plugin builds below. You can then use them with OpenMeshEffectForBlender releases.

MfxVTK - 0.2.0

This version adds four new filters:

• VtkFeatureEdgesEffect (outputs edges, not faces)
• VtkFillHolesEffect
• VtkTubeFilterEffect (can take both faces and edges as input)
• VtkDecimateProEffect

It also adds support for input/output of edges (as 2-vertex faces).

Download Windows or Linux plugin build below. You can then use them with OpenMeshEffectForBlender releases.
