Flatiron 1.01 and tutorial released



Flatiron has just been updated to version 1.01. This version fixes a few problems and introduces a new feature that has been requested.

Changes in this version:
+ Fixed normal bump texture map not being applied correctly when corresponding option is selected from the bake element settings rollout.
+ Corrected problems with image file formats that don’t support alpha channels (especially *.jpg)
+ Added the option to add the map with a composite texture map into the selected map slot to utilize the powerful features of the new composite map in 3ds max 2009.

+ License Server handling of multi-client / multi-plugin setups improved
+ fixed uninstallation of license client dlls
+ added interoperability enhancements for future releases

We urge all users to upgrade to 1.01 because version 1.0 will cause conflicts with our upcoming products such as UV-Packer and Unwrella v2.

In addition to the update we have also released a new tutorial video that highlights the scene baking workflow with flatiron. The sample scene used in the tutorial is available for download so that interested users can easily experiment with flatiron.

The updated plugin, the tutorial video and the 3ds max scene are available for download at http://flatiron.3d-plugin.com
