This is the latest release of OSC. Depending on the platform, the installer may install OSC alongside previous versions. If this isn't the behavior you want (e.g. because it causes multiple OSCs to appear in your start bar) then uninstall the previous version (e.g. run Uninstall.exe in C:\Program Files\osc on Windows). Later versions of OSC may be packaged to do that automatically.

This contains a variety of fixes/improvements over 0.0.3, including:

  • A coordinate editor in the main editor screen
  • Limited support for ultra-large/ultra-small models, such as fly legs, by scaling the scene
  • The coordinate editor and hierarchy panels now have a search bar
  • The mouse controls are now a union of OpenSim's and Blenders, which should make OSC easier to use in a variety of circumstances (especially laptop touch pads)
  • The scene light now moves with the camera, so the model has no dark spots
  • (work in progress) In-built documentation. Currently contains two introductory tutorials. These will be improved over time.
  • More built-in analytical geometries are supported, such as arrows and cones
  • The rendering pipeline is ~20-30 % faster on lower-end devices (e.g. laptops with iGPUs)
  • The UI renders much less frequently if a user isn't interacting with it. Typically reduces resource usage by 50-70x
  • Rim highlights should now always show correctly, and not occasionally be occluded by other things in the scene (this was particularly annoying when rendering overlapping frames)
  • The camera can now zoom in very far, provided the camera's focal point is set correctly. This enables zooming into (e.g. very small features)
  • The camera has more keybinds (subject to change): X, Ctrl+X, Z, Y move the camera along +X, -X, Z, and Y axes respectively (Ctrl+Z and Ctrl+Y are already taken by Undo and Redo). F resets the camera. Ctrl+F automatically tries to move the camera to view the whole screne
  • The locale now defaults to C, rather than whatever the system is. This handles the edge-case of saving a file while using a locale that has decimal numbers like 3,14. OpenSim will save the file with 3,14 but then fail to read the number in when the file is loaded later, substituting in 3.
