TNGViewer 1.5.0

TNGViewer is the standalone application for local display of TNG 3D™ presentations.

TNGViewer can:

• Open multiple TNG 3D™ scenes, both local and remote.
• Open multiple FBX, 3DS, OBJ, DXF, DAE, LWO, LWS, LXO, X, PLY, OFF, STL, ASE, IRR, MS3D, TER, MDL and many more models and scenes.
• Save images and movies of live presentations.

• TNGViewer now offers an Anim menu, containing all available animation takes in the currently opened file. Besides slowing down or speeding up the animation, it is possible to turn on or off all animation takes at once, or to select a specific take. This is very useful for e.g. Autodesk FBX files.
• The 'Top Scenes' feature in TNGViewer now offers several sorting options, improving user experience. Furthermore, the contents of the 'Top Scenes' cache are emptied when a new application version is run for the first time.
• Unicode path and object names are now supported on both Windows and Mac OS X; appropriate system fonts are required on both platforms.
• Google Earth files are now supported with both .kml and .kmz extensions.
• Textured meshes imported via the Autodesk FBX SDK and LightWave SDK can now be assigned default materials as for Assimp meshes, via options in the Preferences dialog (default off).
• Fixed several issues during import (especially for COLLADA and LightWave files), during rendering, and in the user interface: whenever an import option is modified, the current cache contents are emptied and relevant files are reloaded automatically.
• On Windows, the fallback Direct3D 9 renderer now has feature parity with the OpenGL renderer.
• On Mac OS X, support for PowerPC machines has been removed (for reasons outside of our control); the latest Universal build (version 1.4.5.634) is available here, but it is no longer supported.
• On both Windows and Mac OS X, TNGPlayer has much better support for the latest Web browsers; however, currently Opera on Mac OS X (version 10.6) fails to provide the plugin with an accelerated graphics port.
• Upgraded to the Autodesk FBX SDK version 7.1 (2011.3).
• Upgraded to the Open Asset Import Library version 1.1 (r788).
• Applied the latest patch file to the Lua 5.1.4 subsystem.
