Please continue reading for further details on new features, bug fixes and any known issues.

Installation Notes

  • If you are installing the Colorway Kit for Modo, ensure to close Modo down and uninstall previous versions of the Colorway kit from your machine:
  • On MacOS: Remove the folder found in /Library/Application Support/Luxology/Content/Kits/ColorwayKit
  • On Windows: Locate your Colorway Kit folder and use the uninstaller found inside the kit.  If there are multiple uninstallers, run each one.
  • On MacOS the Colorway Kit is currently not code signed, so in order to open the installer please right click the .pkg file and click ‘Open’

  • Running Colorway Windows installers now correctly automatically creates the default license folder path in your user ProgramData folder.  Ensure that administrators have read/write access on that folder.

In dynamic palette properties, the user now has the ability to choose ‘Color Swatches’ or ‘Material swatches’.  Choosing ‘Material Swatches’ from ‘Data Type’ will display all the materials used on the part, item, sheet, or project that the palette is assigned to.

354167 I can position text to the left or right of a swatch in a Dynamic Palette in 'Vertical' orientation

Flip toggled off:

Flip toggled on:

307088 User can create a dynamic text item that displays the last saved date when the Colorway project is saved

Using dynamic text items, the user can now reference the last date and time the Colorway project was saved.  In order to use this functionality, perform the following:

  1. Turn dynamic text on using the Dynamic toggle (this dynamic toggle is now found within the Text properties when the text is selected).
  2. Use the ‘Pick document’ button in the dynamic text properties.
  3. Under ‘Property’ select ‘Date (Last Saved)’

From here, the user has access to a Date Format property, allowing them to choose whatever date format they need displayed in the text item.

If the project has not yet been saved, it will display ‘Undefined’ until the project is saved.

322177 Colorway automatically makes the current variation update the existing variation

The user now has the option to turn on automatic updating of variations.  This means when a user makes a change to a variation, their currently selected variation will automatically update without the user having to manually update their variation.  The user can turn off this functionality through the Preferences, and return to manual update of variations if they choose.

326358 User has the ability to apply custom compression to PDF export

During PDF export, the user now has the options to change the Quality and DPI of the PDF prior to export.  These options are under the ‘DPI limit’ and ‘Quality’ fields of the export window.

352405 The license dialogue is consistent with the Colorway design guidelines

The license dialog (found inside the ‘Help’ menu along the menubar) has been redesigned to allow for a friendlier user experience when the user is licensing their Colorway software.  The new license dialog UI supports node locked, floating and login based licenses.

352694 The user can select anywhere on the text item as though an invisible box is sitting behind it

Users will now find text selection much easier.  Previously, the user had to click the text itself in order to select it, which some users found difficult.  The user can now click anywhere within the bounding box of a text item in order to select the text.

353742 User has the ability to hide docked palettes, status bar and sheet outlines

Hitting the ‘TAB’ key will now hide left and right docked menus, status bar, hints bar, menu bar, and the sheet border.  This functionality will not hide any menus that have been undocked.  The user can hit TAB key again to make the hidden UI return.

353743 Colorway saves a thumbnail of the 1st sheet in every project

Colorway now saves a thumbnail of the first sheet of the project upon project save.  This thumbnail will be displayed on the start screen under the ‘Recent Projects’ area so that you can easily access your project.

322042 User has the ability to export the Dynamic Table information as a CSV file

Dynamic table information can now be exported and downloaded as a CSV file.  The user has the option to choose the working variation, or all variations, and visible columns on the dynamic table, or all columns to export.

330254 Content from highlighted cells appears in the right dock

Colorway now features a highlight manager that lists all the highlighted items in the project in a tree-view manager, so the user is able to access their highlights quickly for addition and removal.  This highlight manager is available once the highlight tool is active, under the Highlighter properties tab.

353744 User has the ability to replace the material on a part by holding CTRL (Win/Linux) or CMD (Mac)

While holding CTRL/CMD and dragging/dropping a material onto a part with a pre-existing material, the new material will replace the existing material.  When the user does not hold this hotkey down, the material will be added on top of the existing material.

353745 User has the ability to access the Live Source browser from the left dock

A livesource browser now exists in the left docked menu as a tab next to the ‘Item List’ and ‘Variations’ tabs.  This livesource dock allows users to quickly add new livesources to their projects and access them easily.

        353748 The user can filter the items in the Live Sources left dock menu

The livesource menu gives the user the option to filter items by All, DCI, Image, Material Palette, Color Palette, Project, Table, and Text.

        353749 User can redirect their Live Source browser to a different location

The user can click the Folder icon to launch a file browser and select a new location for live sources to be added to the livesource browser.

        353750 User has the ability to search for any item in the Live Sources left dock

356285 User has the ability to change the project DPI

The user can now change the project DPI through the Display properties of their sheet

.

354304 User has the ability to change the 'per variation' default for textures

When the user is applying textures to parts of a shoe, each time they apply a texture, they have to change the setting to store the texture properties 'per variation'. Users can find this really time consuming but other designers might want the texture settings applied to all variations.  The user now has an option in the material library preferences to toggle ‘per variation’ settings on or off for Textures.

356475 User has the ability to use SHIFT and the LMB to slide between variants

If the user has multiple variants on an item, the user can now hover over that item on the sheet, hold SHIFT and drag with the left mouse button to change the item to the next variant in the list.

356600 User has the ability to display help tips in-app

The first 5 times a user activates a tool in Colorway, in-app help tips will be displayed in the bottom right hand corner of the screen.  The tip will disappear once the user clicks anywhere in the application.  After the 5th time, the user can have the help tip displayed if they click on the question mark icon in the right of the status bar and then click on an item in the UI.

354198 User has the ability to snap undocked panels to each other and the canvas edges

The user can now align their undocked panels to one another, or the edges of the canvas.  The user can snap the undocked panels to the top, bottom, left, or right edges of the canvas or other undocked windows.

356531 I can move several snapped windows around by holding SHIFT while moving one of them

When the user has multiple undocked panels snapped to one another, the user can move all these panels around simultaneously by holding shift and moving one of the undocked panels.

344874 The user is able to reorder sub-materials in the item tree

The user now has the ability to drag and drop sub-materials in the item tree to reorder them.

355000 Cursor icons should match the feature function that is activated

Colorway has new cursors upon tool activation.  These cursors are:

Contact Sheet

Dynamic Table

Palette Item

Callouts

Highlighter

Place Tool

Text Tool

355559 I can store text per variation

When the user has the global toggle turned off on their text item, text was not being automatically stored per variation; it still required the user to press the refresh button on the variation.  That has now been fixed.

358146 Add keyboard shortcut for select same fill color (Y)

The user can now select a part and hit the ‘Y’ key to activate the select same fill color functionality.

312586 User has the ability to adjust the hue and saturation after a color has been applied to an item

After the user has applied a swatch to a part, they can tweak the color of the swatch in real time using the color picker as long as the part is selected.

Whenever a part or other item is selected, if the user picks a color in the color picker, that item will be updated with that color.  This does not apply to entire sheet items, or entire DCI items.

The user can turn this functionality on and off in the color picker Preferences using ‘Live update assigned color’.

371661 Make clear swatches behavior consistent across panels

The clear swatches button now only removes the color or material swatches from the selected part or item in the selected variation.

375238 Implement the labels system for column header properties on Dynamic tables

The dynamic table properties now allow the user to drag and drop dynamic table header labels to hide / show specific headers, and also reorder headers within dynamic table columns.

Note: There is a known issue where removing all labels from ‘Visible columns’ causes all labels to return to visible columns.  Always keep at least one label in the ‘visible’ column.

329410 Select multiple objects from the "insert anything' window

The user can now use the Shift or CMD keys to select multiple assets in the ‘insert anything’ (‘i’ key) file browser.

348125 I can add a manual call-out using a keyboard shortcut 'C' when call-out is active

While the callouts tool is active, the user can hit the C key to activate the manual callout tool, where they can place any manual callout down.

354377 Change redo to CTRL+SHIFT+Z

On windows, the Redo hotkey has been changed to CTRL+Shift+Z to be in line with the Mac OS Redo hotkey of CMD+Shift+Z.

375242 If the user selects a part on the DCI item, the part should be highlighted in the dynamic table

Selected parts are now highlighted in the dynamic table by an orange bounding box on the part’s cell.

326361 User has the ability to select multiple variations at once

Using the CTRL / CMD key, the user can select multiple variations at once.  Using the SHIFT key, the user can select a range of multiple variations at once.

330220 I can remove any highlight by holding the SHIFT key

The user can now remove any highlight applied to text or the dynamic table by holding SHIFT with the highlighter tool active and clicking on the highlighted area.

339435 Windows crash reporter

Users on Windows can now submit crash reports through the Foundry crash handler after the application experiences a crash.

344874 The user is able to reorder materials in the item tree

The user can now reorder materials in the item tree, giving them the ability to determine which order  materials appear on a part.  The reordering of materials will be done per variation, not globally.

348125 I can add a manual call-out using a keyboard shortcut ‘C’ when call-out tool is active

The user can now hit the ‘C’ key to activate manual call-outs tool while the call-out tool is active, allowing them to draw out their manual call-out.

348643 Colorway is installed to ‘Foundry’ by default

In keeping with other Foundry apps, Colorway is now installed to ‘Foundry’ instead of ‘TheFoundry’ by default.

354305 Autosave

The user can now enable autosave on their projects, and decide what interval in seconds they wish the project to autosave.  This is accessed through the Preferences dialog.  In the event of a crash or a forced exit of the application, the next time the user attempts to load that project the app will ask if they want to load the last autosaved version.

Colorway and Colorway Kit Known Issues

Known issues in 3.0v1 and any potential workarounds.

351312 The kit is not correctly rendering 'Light Linked' shadow catchers

Light linking is largely solved aside from an issue with light linked shadow catchers.  When we render environment passes, Modo renders a white shadow in that pass if the environment is set to white.  The only workaround for now is to not tag both Environment and the light that the shadow catcher is linked to - this will cause both lights to be rendered in a single ‘untagged lights’ pass and will produce the proper output.

382872 The preferences for the event log are lost when closing the preferences window on Windows

Currently, the event log inside of Preferences only functions for OSX.

379301 '/' character in Material id column causes the material to not appear in Colorway

This is currently by design - ‘/’ is a forbidden character because it is used as a path separator within the file system.  A minor workaround has been made to allow all ‘/’ characters in the material library ID column to be converted to ‘\’, which allows materials to appear in the UI again.

364273 Activating license keys through the license dialog is not possible

You must activate license keys via the website: https://www.foundry.com/licensing/activate-product

366787 MAC address issues on dual booted machines for Subscription Licensing

There are scenarios where users have a dual booted machine, and a network adaptor may be hidden on one of the operating systems on that machine.  The licensing may still try to access that network adaptor even if the user doesn’t use it, and you may end up in a scenario where the application can be licensed on one operating system but not on the other dual booted operating system.  Since the two OS will have the same machine ID, you cannot select other entitlement once it is already activated for this machine ID.  There is currently no known workaround for this issue.

375977 Setting DPI to ‘1’ will cause a crash on export

Setting the Project DPI to 1 and attempting to export to PDF will cause a crash.

350005 MacOS Sierra machines with some AMD GPUs causes some textures to render incorrect

On some Macbooks with AMD GPUs, the certain textures are loading incorrectly and appearing green/brown in the workspace.

370699 Scrolling the mouse wheel in the UV Map section of the Parts Tab of the Colorway Kit scrolls through the various UV options available

There is currently a UX issue in the kit that happens when the user scrolls down the list of parts in the part tab of the kit. The scrolling action may stop scrolling down the list and instead begin scrolling through the UV map options for each part.

383856 When ColorAssignment for autoupdated stored variations is missing in the project file, Colorway will crash the project on load

If the user has ‘Auto update last stored variation’ turned on, and they have more than 1 stored variation, the first time they assign a color to a part on one of the variations and perform an undo, then a redo, then save, upon reopening that project the application will crash.

We recommend you avoid using Redo command after using Undo on the first color assignment in your project if you have ‘Auto update last stored/restored variation’ turned on.
