What's new

v8.1 [Dec 1, 2014]
Release Notes (8.1.2.0192)
RF-1659 Improvement - Nodes that read from file should output the last position read of the file as well.
Maxwell Integration
RF-2527 Improvement - Access to Maxwell sun rotation from Python, Graphs and XML.
Limitations
Caronte
RF-514 Limitation - Interaction with planes is not good
Caronte integration
RF-1568 Limitation - A node of type HY_Domain in cache mode doesn't affect neither rigid nor soft body objects.
Commands
RF-1330 Limitation - Commands organizer should accept graphs
FLW read/write
RF-2170 Limitation - The option "Selection Highligthing" from the menu "View->Show" is not saved with the project.
RF-2169 Limitation - The options to hide/show the nodes of the scene from the menu "View->Show" are not saved with the project.
General
RF-160 Limitation - Scene Animation.SD doesn't hold new objects created during the simulation.
RF-158 Limitation - FLW files are not interchangeable between machines with different endianness.
RF-157 Limitation - BDC files are not interchangeable between machines with different endianness.
RF-156 Limitation - Maximum number of threads is 128
Graphs
RF-1988 Limitation - FieldSave node cannot save several fields inside a single file. Unlike FieldRealLoad.
Grid splash & Foam
RF-562 Limitation - Mist can't be created for Splash&Foam and Wet&Foam nodes.
Grid wet & Foam
RF-562 Limitation - Mist can't be created for Splash&Foam and Wet&Foam nodes.
Hybrido
RF-1568 Limitation - A node of type HY_Domain in cache mode doesn't affect neither rigid nor soft body objects.
Hybrido fluids
RF-300 Limitation - Proxy files cannot be exported with the GridDomain on cache mode
Hybrido mesh integration
RF-2378 Limitation - Liquid-Hybrido secondary emitters and Liquid-Particles emitters are ignored for meshing when added to a HY_Mesh.
Maxwell Integration
RF-1735 Limitation - RealFlow crashes during Maxwell voxelization when memory is exceeded
Object emitter
RF-146 Limitation - Object Emitter in vertex or faces mode does not export the selection
User interface
RF-2170 Limitation - The option "Selection Highlighting" from the menu "View->Show" is not saved with the project.
RF-2169 Limitation - The options to hide/show the nodes of the scene from the menu "View->Show" are not saved with the project.
XML import/export
RF-333 Limitation - Initial State for objects cannot be reused when exporting scene as XML because it is embedded into the .FLW file.
RF-146 Limitation - Object Emitter in vertex or faces mode does not export the selection
Fixed bugs
Alembic
RF-2776 Major - UV's are not correctly stored.
RF-2769 Major - Stitcher relies on correct padding to sort files -
RF-2768 Major - Store velocity in all polymeshes as builtin (not only as arb geom) -
RF-2754 Bug - Different animations with the same alembic node makes stitcher crash
RF-2783 Bug - The "Geometry scale" global parameter is not applied correctly when loading cache alembic particle files for "Liquid-Particles" emitters.
RF-2780 Bug - Objects loaded from alembic files don't have valid texture coordinates even thought the textures are shown correctly on the OpenGL viewport. As a result things like, for instance, the Object emitter doesn't work when emitting from a texture.
RF-2749 Bug - Objects imported from Alembic are not updated properly during animation when the global "Geometry Scale" parameter is different than 1. This happens for both regular objects and objects imported as a Multibody.
Alembic I/O
RF-2753 Bug - RF crashes when displaying a stitched particle mesh and loading an undefined frame
Attractor daemon
RF-2556 Bug - Attractor daemon does not work with secondary emitters of Liquid-Hybrido type.
RF-2558 Bug - The "Affect" parameter in the Attractor daemon does not work with Hybrido secondary emitters when the value is set to "Velocity".
Built-in objects
RF-2542 Bug - Cell size scale is not applied to new scene objects unless scene is reopened, or cell size scale is changed again.
C SDK
RF-2731 Bug - It is not possible to link a Group with a Hub with scripting or graphs.
RF-2732 Bug - Removing nodes from a graph or Python may crash RealFlow if there are groups in the scene.
Command Line Version
RF-2550 Bug - RealFlow crashes when launching Hybrido simulations with Initial State.
Coriolis daemon
RF-2561 Bug - Coriolis daemon does not work with secondary emitters of Liquid-Hybrido type.
RF-2562 Bug - The "Affect" parameter in the Coriolis daemon does not work with Hybrido secondary emitters when the value is set to "Velocity".
Drag force daemon
RF-2544 Bug - Drag daemon does not work with secondary emitters of Liquid-Hybrido type.
DSpline daemon
RF-2567 Bug - The "Affect" parameter in the DSpline daemon does not work with Hybrido secondary emitters when the value is set to "Velocity".
RF-2565 Bug - DSpline daemon does not work with secondary emitters of Liquid-Hybrido type.
Ellipsoid force daemon

v6.0 [Dec 17, 2012]
Improved python API
