We have just uploaded a new version of Render[in] 2 with the following improvements:

BUG CORRECTIONS

• In Windows, there were occasional problems with QuickTime. Render[in] no longer uses QuickTime to read or write images.
• Billboard "Face To Camera" orientation, implemented only for level-0 instances.
• PSD correction; some PSD renders produced "black cat's whiskers" on the Background layer.
• Dark grey margins in the Preview Window were sometimes not refreshed.
• In the panorama section, the rendering size (Options dialog) should not be editable.

IMPROVEMENTS

• Dark circles in some glass windows; not a bug because Refraction was at 0.1. The refraction parameters are now presented in a menu.
• The Render[in] plug-in can now be activated or deactivated through the Extensions Preferences inside SketchUp.
• Instead of using all scenes of a given SketchUp model, the user can select a subset of them.
• A combo box with a check box has been added to allow users to select which scene to save in the iVisit 3D Panorama.
• Last but not least, memory use has been improved in the final calculation of several panoramas.

We have just uploaded a new version of Render[in] 2 which corrects these problems:

1. Very slow SketchUp on some graphics cards when Render[in] 2 is installed.
2. Missing “Cancel”-button in “Check for Update…” dialog when new version is available.
3. SketchUp ground color was not used when “Background Environment” was unchecked.
