Gaffer 1.3.5.0

Features

• ImageScatter : Added a new node for scattering points across an image, with density controlled by an image channel.

Improvements

• Viewer : Changed the default image comparison (wipe) mode from Over to Replace.
• Spreadsheet :
  • Popups for string cells and row names are now sized to fit their column.
  • Added "Triple" and "Quadruple" width options to the spreadsheet row name popup menu.
• Node : Improved performance when casting Python-derived types to ComputeNode.

Fixes

• ValuePlug : Fixed performance regression (introduced in 1.3.1.0) getting values from plugs without an input connection. This could severely affect scene generation times in some cases.
• NameSwitch : Fixed bug which prevented drag and drop reordering of rows with an input connection.
• PythonEditor :
  • Fixed output for print() calls with multiple arguments, which was previously spread across multiple lines.
  • Fixed bug that prevented editors being destroyed at the right time.
• FileSystemPath : Fixed bug on Windows where paths on an exFAT partition were not considered valid.

API

• Sampler : Added populate() method, which populates the internal tile cache in parallel, and subsequently allows sample() to be called concurrently.
