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.
