Before, app crash on some machines as been reported in #15 and #16, and cannot easily be reproduced on other machines, such as a virtual box guest system, which make it very hard to trace the root cause.
Now, the offline render is totally removed from the code base, instead of offline-render to image then show the image, we can directly show the parts model in the parts tree using normal opengl widget, and the result looks better than before.
This is the second version of auto-rig, differing from the first version, the user should pick up a rig type, unless no rig will be generated. Currently, only supports Tetrapod without tail. Export as glTF format to test this feature.
This commit also achive better quality quads than before.
This feature could be useful for smooth one component and soften the seam of combination,
This commit also include a crash fix about incorrect use of CGAL.
If multiple nodes or end effector node been selected and rotate, the behaves remain the same as before, however, if single node in the middle been selected and rotated, all the children of this node will be rotated. This could be useful to rotate the tail or leg from joint.
This is useful for making hole surface. For example, without subtraction, it's difficult to make a bucket like mesh, now, you just need to copy and paste the nodes, invert it from the Parts List Panel Context Menu, then down scale and move up a little bit.
This is an experiment test of animation clip generation. Mark leg and spine nodes to enable it or check it with the latest mosquito.ds3 example;
Skeleton offset is been fixed in this commit.
- Remove intermediate bones when user marked leg nodes
- Add flags to toggle gltf comment and normal output
- Fix face normal
- Adjust the skeleton bone mesh radius
User can mark selected nodes as specified body location explictly. This will help the rigging step generating more reasonable result, also prepared for the future animation clip generation.
- Implement CCD (Cyclic Coordinate Descent) IK (Inverse Kinematics) algorithm
- Add end-effector pulling operation, this would be useful when you want to pull a group of nodes in line to align straight or mimic curl.
In the previous version, the nodes get selected and copied, without lost selection after new nodes pasted.
This commit fix this problem. Now, the old nodes lose selection while new pasted nodes gettting selected.
This feature will make the following use case much easier:
Extrude:
Select some nodes, copy, paste then scale.
The symmetry feature is not funtional when there is no turnaround reference sheet loaded.
This should fix the problem by load a empty background image.
Thanks @xtvjxk123456 for addressed this issue, https://github.com/huxingyi/dust3d/issues/6
This is mainly for resolving the baking time consuming issue when running in software OpenGL.
Compare to normal OpenGL which would only take seconds to bake, software OpenGL take minutes to bake a complex model.
Separating the baking phase would allow the user to export the result without baking.
Use https://github.com/Thekla/thekla_atlas to generate the texture.
This commit still have some issues, some faces not satisfy thekla_atlas in some cases.
- Add texture preview widget.
- Fix single node black color issue.
- Export texture in .gltf file.
- Fix node order random issue in mesh generation.
And added a CONTRIBUTORS file to list the users who have done great work to help Dust3D become better, thank you!

Thanks the follow reddit users:

Tab key press switch the profile of selection, this makes the item more easy to be selected on the other profile and then switch to this profile to edit, while the item is very hard to be selected in this profile.
Now can check part from part list widget, double click it will check the whole part to graphics view, and also, if the part's node or edge been hovered or checked, the first one's part will be highlighted in the part list.
