PicoGK v1.2.0

PicoGK v1.2 adds support for reading and writing OpenVDB .vdb files. At this time, the openvdb::GRID_LEVEL_SET data type, which is what we use to represent our Voxels object is supported.

PicoGK v1.2 requires the updated 1.2 runtime, which is automatically installed when using the installers.

The following changes were made:

• NEW: Added example on how to create a simple lattice and how to extract slices from it (run PicoGKExamples. SimpleLatticeAndSliceExtract.Task)
• FIX: Including an empty bounding box to an empty bounding box, made bounding box infinitely large.
• FIX: Made ASCII vs. Binary detection of STLs more robust
• FIX: Loading ASCII STL now correctly throws a "not implemented" exception.
• CHANGE: If loading an STL results in an empty mesh, an exception is thrown
• CHANGE: If bounding box of viewer objects is empty, matrix calculations are skipped, to avoid invalid math operations.
• NEW: Added function to append one mesh to another (no intelligence, just adds the triangles, regardless of the mesh topology). Useful for helper meshes in the GUI, for example.
• NEW: Added way to create mesh from BBox3
• FIX: Removed unimplemented Voxels.BoolAddSmooth function, which was throwing an error.
• NEW: Added TempFolder class to hold a temp folder that is automatically created and deleted when no longer used.
• NEW: Added a function to wait for the creation of a file
• FIX: Width/Height were flipped in GetVoxelSlice, if you worked around by flipping x/y, you need to undo that change. Now works correctly: Width is X, Height is Y
• FIX: Fixed NaN values at the center of flat cap beams of lattices. Flat cap beam lattices now no longer have a tiny hole in their middle
• FIX: Memory of meshes was never freed in the PicoGK Runtime
• NEW: Support for reading and writing OpenVDB .VDB files. (For details, run PicoGKExamples. OpenVdbExample.Task)
• CHANGE: PicoGK Example, which is installed by the installers incorporates the latest LEAP 71 Libraries (Shape Kernel, Lattice Library).
