Colorway New Features

There are no new features in this maintenance release.

Colorway Fixed Issues

• ID 486266 - Loading .svg assets after auto-fixing them and loading materials at the same time caused Colorway to become unresponsive.

Colorway Known Issues

• ID 480699 - Colorway Kit: Rendering DCI files using mPath in Modo 14 does not always produce the expected result.
As a workaround, use Modo 15 to render your scenes using mPath.

• ID 477081 - Hiding the first sheet in a project and then saving your work causes thumbnails to render incorrectly.

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

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

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

• 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.
