What's New in version 1.5.1.673:

• Fixed bug where QuickTime images and movies were sometimes exported with the wrong colors (especially by the DirectX renderer).
• Upgraded to the latest Autodesk FBX SDK (2011.3.1).
• Upgraded to the Open Asset Import Library version 1.1 (r822).

What's New in version 1.5.0.659:

• TNGViewer now offers an Anim menu, containing all available animation takes in the currently opened file.
• The 'Top Scenes' feature in TNGViewer now offers several sorting options, improving user experience.
• 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 Mac OS X, support for PowerPC machines has been removed.
• 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.

What´s New in version 1.4.0.600:

• TNGViewer now imports keyframe and skinning animation data from Autodesk FBX models and scenes, as well as standard bone animation data from LightWave LWS scene files. Keyframe animation data in LWS files can now be baked or imported raw for better performance. Furthermore, support for keyframe and bone/skinning animation data in the Open Asset Import Library has been considerably improved; light and camera objects can now be imported too.
• The fallback DirectD 9 renderer on Windows has been improved with the addition of dynamic shading support (e.g. reflections, shadows.)
• Fixed issue where the Open Recent submenu was not being updated properly when many items were present.
• Upgraded to the Open Asset Import Library version 1.1 (r726).
• Upgraded to the FreeType Library version 2.3.12.

What´s New in version 1.3.0.563:

• Vastly expanded file format support.
• TNGViewer now uses the Open Asset Import Library in order to open more than 40 different 3D file formats; this library also greatly improves Collada .dae support, as well as 3D Studio .3ds, Alias|Wavefront .obj, and AutoCAD .dxf support.
• The list of file formats is available in the About window, as well as in the user documentation.
• File formats that contain keyframe and skinning animation display animated objects by default.
• The Preferences dialog contains several options to configure the import process; furthermore, the Top Scenes tab now shows the amount of disk space used by the thumbnail and scene caches.
• Windows applications and plugins now fall back to a new Direct3D 9 renderer, on any machine without decent OpenGL drivers. Although the DX9 renderer still lacks dynamic shading atom support (no shadows, reflections, etc.), it has excellent performance.
• The About window in TNGViewer displays what renderer is currently in use.
• Fixed several interface, navigation and display issues in the applications and
• plugins.
