0.5.1

• Fix error on export when mesh contains isolated vertices

0.5.0

Macros

• Added macros, you can add your own buttons for import/export dialog, object parameter editor and for two new tools.
• To add them hit Customize > Customize user interface > Toolbars and drag them onto the toolbar.

Import/export improvements,

• You need to set the path for export only once, so you can export more quickly.
• Added 'Open...' button to the dialog
• Normals are now imported by default (into new cached normals modifier)
• No need to reset xforms anymore when adjusting pivots, vertices are now transformed automatically

Unit scaling

• You can now choose if you want to rescale units on import/export to centimeters, milimeters, inches...
• This also benefits skinning, since weight painting is easier with smaller units (like cm)

Skinning improvements

• Theres additional root bone added on import that contains other bones - exported models also need this new bone.
• This makes working with skins easier and makes it possible to import them to Blender.
• Use the new tool 'Convert old skeleton' to convert old models.
• Any type of node can be a bone now.
• Setting bone affect limit to 2 is not needed any more and it is actually discouraged now.
• New tool for finding weight conflicts - when weight is not a parent of the second weight
• Skins are now fully working on 2012, 2013, 2014.

Glows and targets

• Added support for glows (glowing texture for lights, or for sun lens flare)
  • Open Create panel > Geometry > 4ds Tools
• Added support for targets (eye and neck targets).
  • Open Create panel > Helpers > 4ds Tools

Materials

• Materials with color key transparency are now shown correctly in the viewport
• Multimaterials are now created per object instead of one for the whole file.

Other

• Removed Don't optimize flag from the param editor, it's not needed with normals imported by default.
• Morph target nodes are not created anymore ($morph A1), morph data is stored in the morpher modifier only.
• And many under the hood changes

Also this version comes with an installer!

0.4.2

• Weights are now properly assigned to a child bone
• Imported verts with two weights are now normalized
• Special thanks to huckleberrypie for the help with testing

(Because of a bug in 3ds Max, skinned meshes are broken in Max 2012, 2013 and 2014)

0.4.1

• Fix skin exporting on older versions.

0.4.0

• Import and export of skinned meshes and bones
• Import of morphs
• Faster vertex splitting algorithm
• Added support for Physical Material
• Added error message when importing invalid files
• Edges are now visible in wireframe mode
• Fixed error in parameter editor when adding parameters to unsupported objects (like lights, cameras...)

0.3.1

• Fix materials without bitmap texture
• Fix objects without texture coords

0.3.0

• New 4ds parameter editor, with updated rendering flags
• Added support for billboards
• Added support for instanced geometry
• Fixed rendering flags reseting to zero
• Sectors can now be opened in Boz4dsFullManager without errors

0.2.1

• Remove accidentally left over debug messages that were slowing down export
• Better material defaults

0.2.0

Sectors:

• Export sectors with pivot at world origin
• Export portal vertices in order inside face

Materials:

• Materials don't have to be in single MultiMaterial anymore
• Fix StandardMaterial exporting
• Updated material UI
• Fix materials with enabled map flag but without filename
• Fix parsing of materials with alpha flag without diffuse texture (cord_sedanH00.4ds)

0.1.0

• Add support for 3ds Max 2009
• Files containing SingleMeshes with 2 or more lods can now be opened
• Fix exporter not exporting animated materials
