Video Enhancements => The Video capabilities that were implemented with
Kaleider 4.3 have been much improved. The Video Capture process is
now more efficient, generally resulting in Videos that more accurately reflect the
actual timing of rendered motion. Video
Options includes new Video Parameters Set and Scaling Option
settings to provide better control over how Videos are created.
It's possible now to
capture Kaleider action as sequences of still image files, which can then be
played as animations with the Image Sequence
Player. Video files can also be recorded from the Image Sequence
Player while playing animations, which provides much more precise control over
timing and might result in higher quality Videos.
3D Rooms Improvements => 3D Rooms scenes should now render somewhat quicker when
Dual or Quad Views are enabled, and during Video Captures.
It's also much easier now to navigate outside of Rooms, into the blackness of
space, to view the exteriors of surfaces. This was possible before by holding
down the CTRL key while pressing movement keyboard commands, but that was a bit
cumbersome. A new Allow Moving Through Room Walls option can be set in
the Room Options screen to simply use the keyboard commands without being
hindered by walls. (You might try running the Exteriors sample
Script to get a feel for the sort of weird scenes that can be seen 'outside').
An Apply Mandala/Stencil to Rooms option is now available in the Room
Options screen to cause Rooms scenes to appear overlaid by the current
Mandala or Stencil.
Of course, the Rooms Mandala choice can be recorded in Scripts, and later altered via the Script Control and
Editing function.
