Colorway New Features

• ID 468824 - Colorway Kit: The accuracy of transparent parts shading has been improved to match the results seen in Modo more closely.

• ID 475180 - Performance: Dropping colors directly onto .dci parts and zooming in/out with the mouse over .dci items has been improved.

• ID 477039 - GPU: Memory management for integrated GPUs has been improved.

Colorway Fixed Issues

• ID 469926 - GPU: The UI used too much GPU memory causing Colorway to crash during some operations.

• ID 473671 - UI: Locking parts with hide bounding box of locked items enabled prevented part selection in the viewport.

• ID 474775 - DCI: Certain .dci files randomly included artifacts at object edges.

• ID 475015 - macOS only: Closing Colorway from the dock context menu did not display the save project dialog.

• ID 476437 - Materials: 2D material thumbnails were displayed upside down.

• ID 476695 - Table Item: Showing texture layer data in dynamic table items did not work as expected.

• ID 477039 - Textures Panel: Switching selection between texture layers occasionally caused Colorway to crash.

Colorway Known Issues

Using either the Variants or DCI Lights panel and then attempting to use the other panel does not react to requests for variant changes.
As a workaround, use the [ and ] keyboard shortcuts to switch variants.

• ID 476532 - Licensing: Selecting Cancel on the license login does not return to the previous screen.

• ID 474045 - Table Item: Applying a color to a part and then using the dynamic table to expose it displays it as a new color.

• ID 473664 - MDI: Selecting tabs too quickly causes Colorway to jump back to the first tab.

• ID 473401 - Items Tree: Selecting multiple materials and then selecting remove only removes one material.

• ID 473397 - Material Editor: Thumbnails do not always update immediately after changing some properties of a material.

• ID 473212 - Performance: Applying materials to multiple selected parts across several sheets is occasionally slow, and may become slower with each subsequent material added to the stack.

• ID 472716 - The eyedropper tool doesn't work as expected with multi-monitor setups.

• ID 469932 - Colorway Kit: Reflections tinted in Colorway do not match the output from Modo renders with the same tints applied.

• ID 467899 - MDI: Opening a project through the OS browser creates long tab names in the UI.

• ID 467874 - Windows only: The Google Drive icon overlays occasionally appear low-res in the Source Browser.

• ID 467388 - Table Item: Double-clicking a dynamic table does not allow you to select other parts of the table until it has been deselected.

• ID 466994 - KPI: Accessing a folder containing a large number of files in the Source Browser causes Colorway to become unresponsive.

• ID 466705 - MDI: The mouse cursor does not align with the tab during drag-and-drop operations.

• ID 466698 - Performance: Switching between projects with large local palettes is slow.

• ID 454790 - Dynamic Tables: Automatic font size does not fill all available empty space.

• ID 448732 - SVG: Hiding a part of an .svg file causes the item tree to collapse.

• ID 444349 - Part Sub-tree: Pasting a part sub-tree to multiple variations does not store the variations correctly.

• ID 442277 - Text: Right-align occasionally crops text contents.

• ID 440699 - Table Item: Setting textures to display as images does not update the selected visible column.

• ID 440055 - Colorway Kit: CW Kit doesn't read diffuse color from Modo procedural textures as expected.

• ID 435520 - Wacom: The right-click context menu can not be accessed as expected using a tablet.

• ID 432009 - Colorway Kit: Textures seen though transparency are occasionally distorted.
As a workaround, use the mPath renderer in Colorway Kit.

• ID 427416, 414523 - Colorway Kit: Some .dci files have Modo material colors burned into the textures.
As a workaround, try resetting Modo's Preferences to default.

• ID 408993 - Deadline: Multiple tagged UVs are not rendered as expected using Deadline.

• ID 405372 - Canvas: Using the mouse wheel to change sheets does not skip hidden sheets.

• ID 401807 - UI: The context menu is occasionally clipped if the window is too small when dropping colors.

• ID 396513 - Windows only: The crash reporter is not appearing 100% of the time.

• ID 396246 - Preferences: Importing another user's preferences file does not update the Source Browser correctly.

• ID 394303 - Texture Widget: The texture widget behaves erratically when a non-uniform scale is applied at the part-level.

• ID 391834 - Colorspace: There is a minor discrepancy in RGB values between colors applied to parts and the same color in the rest of the application.

• ID 390699 - macOS only: The correct swatch is not picked when using the macOS color picker in the AdobeRGB colorspace.

• ID 389505 - Windows only: The General Display preferences are cropped incorrectly on monitors using high DPI scaling.

• ID 386980 - Colorspace: There are occasionally minor differences in RGB / Hex values when a color swatch is added from the color picker into a palette.

• ID 328951 - UI: Sheet masking allows an item to span multiple sheets incorrectly.

• ID 105803 - Colorway Kit: Setting the Intensity >1.0 for luminous materials causes the tint to be incorrect.
