Vuo 1.0.1

Vuo 1.0.1 fixes several bugs, such as:

• Incorrect lighting on some 3D models imported by the Fetch Scene node after going through a 3D object filter.
• Hidden cables’ antennas on input ports weren’t tinted the same as the connected output port’s node.
• The Receive Mouse Moves and Receive Mouse Deltas nodes didn’t fire events while dragging.
• The Blur Image node expanded the image’s bounds slightly even when the Expand Bounds port was set to false.
• Header text inside of newly created composition files was missing.
• The error message wasn’t clear when opening a composition that was created in Vuo 0.9 or earlier. (Thanks to @architek1 for asking about this problem!)

…and adds a minor feature:

• Expanded Shade with Vertex Normal to visualize more types of attributes.

Changes

Here’s what we’ve done in the last 4 weeks:

Built-in Nodes, Types, and Input Editors

• Added an Attribute port to the Shade with Vertex Normal node, enabling it to visualize positions, normals, tangents, bitangents, and texture coordinates. (Thanks to @George_Toledo for suggesting this!)
• Fixed a bug where some nodes that deform 3D objects would output an object with incorrect lighting on some 3D models imported by the Fetch Scene node.
• Fixed an incorrect calculation in the Shade with Vertex Normal node.
• Fixed a bug where the Receive Mouse Moves and Receive Mouse Deltas nodes would not fire events while a mouse button was pressed.
• Fixed a bug where the Blur Image node would expand the image’s bounds slightly even when the Expand Bounds port was set to false.

Vuo Editor

• Fixed the missing copyright/description header text inside of newly created composition (.vuo) files.
• Made sure that hidden cables’ antennas on input ports are tinted the same as the connected output port’s node.
• Made sure that drawers are tinted the same as the node they’re attached to.
• Fixed a bug where the Welcome dialog remained open after creating a composition with “New Composition with Protocol”.
• Tweaked the coloring of ports and constant flags to make them more legible.
• Avoided confusion when opening example compositions for pro nodes with a non-pro license by disabling the menu items and adding a “pro” icon.
• Clarified the error message that appears when opening a composition that was created in Vuo 0.9 or earlier to make it more apparent how to resolve the problem. (Thanks to @architek1 for asking about this problem!)

Documentation

• Vuo Manual
  • Combined the sections on built-in nodes and 3rd-party nodes into a single section on nodes, and added information about pro nodes.
  • Updated the section on exporting apps to explain that most resource files are copied into the exported app automatically.
  • Updated the Quick Start section to mention the Vuo Editor activation process and the Welcome window. (Thanks to @goldstek for bringing this to our attention!)

SDK

• Updated the example Qt projects for creating node classes and port types:
  • Fixed some problems with the ExampleLanguage example, so that its port type can be used with generic node classes and list ports.
  • Removed the MyPairOfReals example, which has been superseded by ExampleLanguage.
  • Renamed the node classes to follow naming conventions.
• Renamed the “api” example folder to “runner”.
