A little late for New Years, but just in time for SciTech! I hope to see you in San Diego next week.

OpenVSP 3.5.0 has a bunch of features across the board that should improve usability for a lot of you. High on the list is the ability to import files from OpenVSP v2. This import isn’t perfect*, but it should do the lions share of moving a model from v2 to v3.

On the good looks side of things, this version adds support for Retina display on MacOS, PNG format screen shots, and also saving screen shots at greater than on-screen resolution. This should help improve publication quality figures from OpenVSP.

Features:

• v2 Import
• Retina display on MacOS
• Super-resolution screen shots
• PNG format screen shots
• Improved and quantitative view control (repeatable views)
• Geom Browser converted to programmatic GUI

Bug Fixes:

• Change how point cloud files are saved, prevent out of memory on read
• Fix O(n^2) bugs with points and triangles in XML (copy/paste and save)

* Components that don’t yet exist in v3 can not convert. Also, some parameters like skinning tangent strengths don’t convert 1:1, so a reasonable approximate value is assigned.
