CozyBlanket 1.4 includes partial visibility, configurable opacity and occlusion, grid fill, auto relax, configurable viewport resolution, build triangles and loop information actions, document versioning and more. Available now.

Included in Standard license

  • Partial visibility
    • Draw a closed shape starting from empty space and crossing the editmesh to hide that portion of the scene.
    • Draw a straight line downwards in empty space to invert the visibility.
    • Draw a straight line upwards to show the entire scene.
    • New VShowL and VHideL actions allow performing these visibility operations without relying on Pencil gestures.
  • Viewport Options Popover
    • Editmesh Opacity can be changed
    • Editmesh occlusion can be controlled manually. Hold down the increase or decrease button to change the depth threshold that is uses to clip the editmesh against the target.
  • Auto Relax
    • Auto Relax can be enabled in the Editmesh Popover. Auto Relax automatically slides and adjust the surrounding topology after each operation to maintain an even distribution of quads.
  • LoopInf
    • The loopinf action displays information about the edge loop under the cursor, such as vertex and edge count, boundary info, snapping info and endpoint info.
    • LoopInf can be activated by holding down the pencil tool over an internal edge.
  • MergeP
    • MergeP can now merge two adjacent triangles into a quad.
  • BuildT
    • New action to create triangles from existing topology
    • Drag from an edge to create a new triangle
    • Drag from an inner corner to create two triangles
    • New vertices automerge with existing topology when releasing them.
  • Boundary Grid Fill
    • Before moving the camera, ExtendB can now fill boundaries by creating topology patters.
    • Both grid fills and triangle fans are supported.
    • Grid fill orientation and spawn can be adjusted by moving the anchor icons over the vertices.
    • Boundary fill options are displayed again after each extend step, before moving the camera.
  • Boundary Autoselect
    • Hold down the Pencil over a vertex of a fully visible boundary to select it and start ExtendB without selecting all vertices manually.
  • Force Save and Document Version
    • New option to force save and reload the current opened document
    • New option to save a new version of the current document, creating a copy of the document with a different name.

Other Features:

  • New Options Menu
    • Options are now split into different tabs, organizing them by category.
  • Viewport Downscale
    • Viewport resolution can be downscaled to increase performance or save battery life.

Fixes and Minor changes:

  • Reworked selection occlusion code. Occlusion is now configurable and has back face culling.
  • The Import popover now contains panels.
  • Faster pin data drawing.
  • Small contrast adjustments to the app theme.
  • Fix crash when using subdivide with an ExtendB boundary active.
  • Reworked DocumentIO code, should be more stable and fix bugs when saving file and starting loading animations.
