| Version | Date Released | Status | Release Notes |
| TNGViewer 1.5.1.673 | Oct 7, 2010 | New Release | · Fixed QuickTime export issues. · Fixed bug where QuickTime images and movies were sometimes exported with the wrong colors (especially by the DirectX renderer). · Upgraded to the latest Autodesk FBX SDK (2011.3.1). · Upgraded to the Open Asset Import Library version 1.1 (r822). |
| TNGViewer 1.5.1.670 | Sep 28, 2010 | New Release | · Significantly improved cache performance. · TNGViewer now offers an option to compress or leave untouched (the default) texture · images stored in the cache. Using uncompressed images significantly improves · performance, both when generating and accessing a cached scene. · Upgraded to the Open Asset Import Library version 1.1 (r815) -- support for COLLADA · and Blender files has been improved. |
| TNGViewer 1.5.0.659 | Aug 9, 2010 | New Release | · TNGViewer now offers an Anim menu, containing all available animation takes in the currently opened file. Besides slowing down or speeding up the animation, it is possible to turn on or off all animation takes at once, or to select a specific take. This is very useful for e.g. Autodesk FBX files. · The 'Top Scenes' feature in TNGViewer now offers several sorting options, improving user experience. Furthermore, the contents of the 'Top Scenes' cache are emptied when a new application version is run for the first time. · Unicode path and object names are now supported; appropriate system fonts are required. · Google Earth files are now supported with both .kml and .kmz extensions. · Textured meshes imported via the Autodesk FBX SDK and LightWave SDK can now be assigned default materials as for Assimp meshes, via options in the Preferences dialog (default off). |
| TNGViewer 1.4.0.600 | May 21, 2010 | New Release | · Greatly improved keyframe and bone/skinning animation support. · TNGViewer now imports keyframe and skinning animation data from Autodesk FBX models and scenes, as well as standard bone animation data from LightWave LWS scene files. Keyframe animation data in LWS files can now be baked or imported raw for better performance. Furthermore, support for keyframe and bone/skinning animation data in the Open Asset Import Library has been considerably improved; light and camera objects can now be imported too. · The fallback DirectD 9 renderer on Windows has been improved with the addition of dynamic shading support (e.g. reflections, shadows.) · Fixed issue where the Open Recent submenu was not being updated properly when many items were present. · Upgraded to the Open Asset Import Library version 1.1 (r726). · Upgraded to the FreeType Library version 2.3.12. |
| TNGViewer 1.3.0.563 | Mar 16, 2010 | New Release | · Vastly expanded file format support. · TNGViewer now uses the Open Asset Import Library in order to open more than 40 different 3D file formats; this library also greatly improves Collada .dae support, as well as 3D Studio .3ds, Alias|Wavefront .obj, and AutoCAD .dxf support. · The list of file formats is available in the About window, as well as in the user documentation. · File formats that contain keyframe and skinning animation display animated objects by default. · The Preferences dialog contains several options to configure the import process; furthermore, the Top Scenes tab now shows the amount of disk space used by the thumbnail and scene caches. · Windows applications and plugins now fall back to a new Direct3D 9 renderer, on any machine without decent OpenGL drivers. Although the DX9 renderer still lacks dynamic shading atom support (no shadows, reflections, etc.), it has excellent performance. · The About window in TNGViewer displays what renderer is currently in use. |
| TNGViewer 1.2.3.528 | Mar 16, 2010 | New Release | · Fixed bug where some spatial events might be dispatched to an already-destroyed scene when loading a new one. · Fixed bug where certain path names, especially relating to texture files, might not be converted properly during import. · Fixed bug where some presentation scripts might not be compiled properly when re-opening a demo. · The Time, FPS and Grids display areas in viewer windows are now drawn with contrasted text, for improved readability. |
| TNGViewer 1.2.2.509 | Feb 18, 2010 | New Release | Version 1.2.2.509 includes unspecified updates. |
| TNGViewer 1.2.1.500 | Feb 18, 2010 | New Release | · Improved system compatibility and fixed several issues. · Texture mipmaps can be generated automatically via two different methods; the default one now uses the traditional way for improved compatibility. This option is available in the Preferences->General tab. · Clicking with the right mouse button in a Top Scenes thumbnail now zooms to item-specific cameras, for better close-up inspection; clicking again on the same thumbnail goes back to Top Scenes. Furthermore, thumbnails are now colored in red whenever their cache is not up-to-date. · File modification times are now updated when displaying Top Scenes as well as when trying to access any entry in the Open Recent list. · Fixed issue where Top Scenes was not updating its cache correctly in certain cases. · Fixed several system and rendering issues on Windows 7, where applications and plugins were failing to start properly on some machines. |
| TNGViewer 1.2.0.495 | Feb 9, 2010 | New Release | · Extended Top Scenes features, interface and preferences. · The Top Scenes option now inspects file modification times when managing the 'Open Recent' submenu: cache images are generated automatically whenever an entry is more recent than its cache. Note that this is always the case with remote files, as obtaining file modification times over the network would be too expensive. · TNGViewer now maintains a real-time cache of any non-native (e.g. Autodesk, LightWave) content that becomes part of the 'Open Recent' submenu. The cache can be turned on or off via the Preferences->General tab: it can be emptied via the Preferences->Top Scenes tab. Opening cached content on average requires an order of magnitude less than non-cached content; it is therefore enabled by default. Note that remote files are not cached for obvious reasons. |
| TNGViewer 1.1.1.485 | Jan 26, 2010 | New Release | · Added support for QuickTime export in a separate thread. · Exporting QuickTime movies in multithreaded builds is now performed via a dedicated thread. The main thread prepares frames and sends them to the export thread, where they are encoded at few milliseconds intervals. This results in improved movie export performance and user navigation. · Fixed bug where the ESC key would not exit fullscreen mode in viewer windows. · Fixed regression where TNGPlayer on Windows might fail to request draw events to the underlying Web browser, resulting in loss of or garbled display. |
