You find more information about the individual plugins at: http://tools.db-w.com

Changes:

Version 1.8a:

• fixed an issue loading settings if multiple plugins save their settings in the lws and use the same name for a setting (such as the Simple Colour Corrector Pixel Filter and Image Filter in the same scene).

Version 1.8

• fixed compatibility issues with the pixel filter in LW10
• fixed an issue with the Cache node when rendering using VPR in LW10
• Added a Scene Comment master plugin (It requires TextWrangler as well as the matching command line tools to be installed on OSX)
• Added the (experimental) StickyFrontUV node which can create front projection UVs for compositing.
• Those stick to the item if it is transformed. Deformations are not supported.
• Added a Colour Space node to convert from one colour space to another (LW10 only)
• Added a Colour Space Converter Generic plug-in to convert from one colour space to another (LW10 only)
  You can copy and paste colour values throughout LW using the following shortcuts (on the colour swatches):
  Shift-RMB : Copy
  Ctrl-RMB : Paste

Version 1.7

• Added the DepthLimiter Pixel filter. It clamps the maximum distance stored in the depth buffer to increase the quality of depth Anti-aliasing.

Version 1.6a

• The Cache node didn't cache due to a change in code. Now it does - again.

Version 1.6

• Added Illuminance option and function input to the Single Light Lambert node
• Added Remap node
• Fixed an issue with the single light illumination node in Modeler
• Added PPC 64-bit to the OSX version

Version 1.5a

• fixed an issue with the simple colour corrector image filter not using the values entered by the user
• initial 64-bit OSX version

Version 1.5

• Added Sequence node
• Added "Revenge of the Lenscap" image viewer (Please be careful with that one!)
• various extensions to existing nodes
• various bug fixes
• added on-line documentation

Version 1.4:

• Added Extended Spot Info Node
• Added Time Info Node

Version 1.3b:

• Removed the preview from the Cache node due to obscure crashes with third party nodes (SG_AmbOcc to be precise)
• Added a "Pass Through" option to the Cache Node to quickly disable it
• The Scalar Booster wasn't added to LightWave 3D properly, please re-add the plugin to get it.

Version 1.3a:

• fixed a crash bug in the Cache Node related to multi-threading
• fixed an issue in the Material Blender
• fixed Modeler issues in the booster nodes as well as the cache node

Version 1.3:

• Further speed improvements to the material blender node
• Four new nodes: Cache, Material Booster, Colour Booster and Scalar Booster

Version 1.2:

• Speed ups to the material blender if the opacity is 0%
• Added Channel Blender and Single Light Illumination Nodes.

Version 1.1b:

• fixes a bug that made the Material Blender unuseable for ... materials :( *sigh*
• fixes a bug that caused the 32bit version of the Notifier to crash on Vista x64

Version 1.1a:

• fixes a bug that only affects the Material Blender for OSX-CFM, the other plugins have not changed.

--- Please Note ---

Due to a missing key in the registry, the 32bit version of the notifier may not play back sounds on 64-bit versions of Windows.
We've included two registry files to add that missing key. If you don't hear assigned sounds on 64-bit windows from 32-bit LW, you should install either of them (or edit them to suite):
Wow64_MediaPath_C.reg : Sets the media search path to C:WINDOWSMedia (the default for a normal Windows installation)
Wow64_MediaPath_D.reg : Sets the media search path to D:WINDOWSMedia

If you find any issues, don't hesitate to mail us at info@db-w.com .

We hope you enjoy working with this plugin.
