Hi Michael,

For installing V5 there is no need to uninstall V4 right? Or having both versions simultaneously would create problems?

You can have both in the same time without problem! ;)

Very nice!

I am desiring the axis colors Blue, Red, Green.
May have to make a new "theme"?

Okay, quickly made a new theme, from the default theme, with Blue Red Green axi.

You don't need to uninstall V4, it's fine to have both versions installed.

It's generally a good idea to keep V4 installed in case there is some kind of bug accidentally introduced in the new beta.

You can do it either with a new theme, or you can do it as a global setting by setting Options > Grid > "Grid axis colors" to "Custom" instead of "From theme".

Thanks Pilou!

Thanks Michael,

New stuff are nice.

UI management and configuration... NICE !

Groups and their management… NICE !

Types section of the Scene Browser… VERY NICE !

Support for import/export to SVG format... NICE TOO !
But not seen if it works or no. It seems on my install or my tests it's not OK.


Have fun !

I rolled out a new Apr-10 release to fix bugs reported on the other thread.

Thank you, Michael,

new ver.5 beta disposes of many improvements, especially in Scene Browser.

Very useful is possibility to select certain type of curves like circles, in future it would be nice to have possibility to add some additional properties into selection like radius (diameter) or length of rectangle edges for example.

Nice Dark UI and excellent feature is possibility to save Notes together with file (project). Super.

Thanks again!
Mik

Wow groups :) great features, and works smoothly with WineHQ

Wow didn't expect this release so earlier, thank you so much! I switched to MAC M1, and everything flies now. Groups are amazing too!

Not sure about your dark theme, it might a good idea to keep your style, how about dark blue? Moi is always associated with your light blue colors.

Here, MACHIN3tools for Blender is one of the best dark themes I have ever seen.

You don't have to make it completely grey.

Funny you say that:

Almost done with it...

I'll upload when complete...

Hi Mik,

Yup, the Scene Browser has a big step towards realizing its full potential here! :)

I thought a little about this, the part that's a little tricky is how to set up the UI
for adjusting the parameters that they would have. But maybe the UI controls for
it could be embedded directly in the scene browser.

I think I would like to work on folders in the scene browser before that though.

Hi pafurijaz,

re:

There are a couple of tune-ups for Wine in v5. One is that it will default to using the Direct3D11 renderer on Wine instead of OpenGL.

The idea previously was that OpenGL in Wine is a thin layer that mostly passes through to the host OS OpenGL. Then the hope is that there would be less bugs with less layers of code.

But I think that somewhere along the line the Wine Direct3D layer kept on improving while video drivers didn't and the Wine layer probably now includes mitigations for common driver bugs.

Then the other fix is for a Wine bug in handling 8-bit luminance textures which is what was messing up the text rendering described in this thread:
http://moi3d.com/forum/index.php?webtag=MOI&msg=10581.1

So to avoid that one Wine bug MoI will use a 32-bit texture for text rendering instead of an 8-bit texture when running on Wine.

Hi surferdude, I'm glad you are liking it!

The dark theme is driven more by practical matters like making black icons and black wireframe drawing in the viewport to still be visible.

Trying to keep styling with the default light theme didn't really enter into things very much.

I think I'd also like to try a green or amber text terminal style at some point.

Hi Michael!

I'm a fan of your default theme anyway :)

I have a complete freeze in V5, how can I track the bug? I did nothing special, just an unexpected freeze while selecting an object. M1X
