Please read the README.txt file for the latest important information regarding the installation and use of this package. ########################################################################### @RELEASE: 6.10-0 This release is designed to work with Qube! version 6.10-x. ########################################################################### @RELEASE: 6.9-0 This release is designed to work with Qube! version 6.9-x. ########################################################################### @RELEASE: 6.8-0a @SUMMARY: This release is designed to work with Qube! version 6.8-x @NEW: add Mac OS X 10.11, aka "El Capitan" support ########################################################################### @RELEASE: 6.8-0 @SUMMARY: This release is designed to work with Qube! version 6.8-x. ########################################################################### @RELEASE: 6.7-0 @SUMMARY: This release is designed to work with Qube! version 6.7-x. ########################################################################### @RELEASE: 6.6-0 @SUMMARY: This release is designed to work with Qube! version 6.6-x. ########################################################################### @RELEASE: 6.5-0 @SUMMARY: This release is designed to work with Qube! version 6.5-x. ########################################################################### @RELEASE: 6.4-0 @SUMMARY: This release is designed to work with Qube! version 6.4.x. ########################################################################### @RELEASE: 6.3-0 @SUMMARY: This release is designed to work with Qube! version 6.3.x. ########################################################################### @RELEASE: 6.2-0 @SUMMARY: This release is designed to work with Qube! version 6.2.x. ########################################################################### @RELEASE: 6.1-0 @SUMMARY: This release is designed to work with Qube! version 6.1-x. @FIX: fix syntax error caused by extraneous single-quote character ########################################################################### @RELEASE: 6.0-0 @SUMMARY: This release is designed to work with Qube! version 6.0-x. @NEW: Add support to MiGen for Pass Contribution Maps and Pass User Data @CHANGE: Updated windows qube.ico files for all jobtypes. The icon shows in the "add/remove program" panel on Windows, among possibly other places. This is a cleaner-looking transparent background icon, and was converted from the icon that's used on OSX (qube_icon.icns). ########################################################################### @RELEASE: 5.5-1 @SUMMARY: @FIX: Syntax error in MiGenMayaJob.pm ########################################################################### @RELEASE: 5.5-0 @SUMMARY: This release is built for Qube 5.5-x. It adds Maya 2010 support. The other largest change is the elimination of the submission dialog that is based on a binary plug-in and mel scripting-- this new jobtype now shares the Qube GUI submission dialog. @NEW: Maya 2010 support @CHANGE: Consolidated submission dialog with Qube GUI Now the jobtype shares the submission dialog with the Qube GUI. This allows for better maintainability, eliminates the need for a compiled maya plugin, thus allowing us to quickly support any new future maya versions as soon as they come out. The old binary plugin (qb.mll, qb.so, qb.bundle) and mel scripts have been deprecated. ########################################################################### @RELEASE: 5.4-1 @SUMMARY: Support for per-layer .mi generation, as well as single .mi files containing multiple frames, has been added to this version. @FEATURE: Added support for per-layer .mi generation. @FEATURE: Modified code to support single .mi file with multiple frames. Now the jobtype allows generating .mi files in the following modes: * one .mi file per frame, per layer * one .mi file per frame, each containing all layers * one .mi file per layer, each containing all frames * one .mi file containing all layers and all frames The jobtype still supports submitting accompanying mentalray jobs to render the generated .mi files. When submitting a job from the Maya in-app miGen submission dialog and .mi files are requested to be generated per layer, then each layer will get its own mental ray job. For example, if the scene has 3 layers, then there will be one miGen job, and 1 job for each layer, creating a total of 4 jobs. When submitted from the Qube GUI, however, there will only be one miGen job, and one render job. ########################################################################### @RELEASE: 5.4-0 @SUMMARY: This release is designed to work with Qube! version 5.4-x. @CHANGE: Built for Qube! version 5.4-x @FIX:Fixed typo in vaiable name "$midir". BUGZID: 56565 57194 @FIX: Made sure that paths are dirmapped. BUGZID: 50760 @FIX: Adding code to set project dir properly, so that mental ray images are output to projdir/images/. Adding code to better handle package vars. Adding code to actually handle package parameters, such as miFragmentExport. (it had been silently ignored...) BUGZID: 50451 @FIX: Fixing bug in dependency, where render job wasn't being unblocked when the parent miGen job is done, when submitted from the qubegui. Also made slight change in the trigger event (from "done-" to "complete-") for in-app submitted migen jobs, for consistency between the two submission methods. BUGZID: 50369 ########################################################################### @RELEASE: 5.3-0 @SUMMARY: This release is designed to work with Qube! version 5.3-x. It also includes some bugfixes and feature enhancements. In particular, it now enables the user to submit render (mental ray standalone) jobs to render the .mi files generated. @CHANGE: Built for Qube! version 5.3-x @FEATURE: Officially added support for 64-bit platforms. @BUGFIX: Fixed backslash issue in the path for "source" command. backslashes are now translated to forward slashes before calling "source". @FEATURE: Adding qubeMentalrayBatchExportSingleFile.mel script to support multi-layer miGen/renders in Maya versions prior to 2008. This should, in principle, make the multi-layer renders work in Maya 8.5 or below. Also updated README accordingly. @BUGFIX: Modified code so that multi-layer scenes render fine, for at least Maya 2008 (and above, presumably). Updated README to reflect this change. @FEATURE: Implementation of single-action miGen/render for in-app submission. @CHANGE: Modified quite a bit of the front-end "look", as well as the internals. * added a section on "Job Mode" ("export only" or "export and render") * added separate Qube option tabs for the miGen and render jobs * cleaning up interal code, modularizing stuff into separate files. @BUGFIX: Removed "demandLoad" "export file paths" option, for maya 2008 compatibility. @BUGFIX: Modified to call mentalrayBatchRenderProcedure() routine instead of calling the Mayatomr command directly. The latter was apparently causing absolute paths in the generated .mi files. BUGZID: 42803 @FEATURE: Added code to delete the submission windows on "open/new scene". @CHANGE: Modified miGen make-package.pl script to build "noarch" rpm for linux. ########################################################################### @RELEASE: 5.2-0 @SUMMARY: This release is designed to work with Qube! version 5.2-x. It also includes a few cosmetic bug fixes. ########################################################################### @RELEASE: 5.1-0 @SUMMARY: This is an update release to accompany Qube! 5.1-x. It also includes some minor bug fixes. ########################################################################### @RELEASE: 5.0-0 @SUMMARY: This is the initial release of the miGen jobtype, a maya to mental ray .mi file converter. @FEATURE: Initial release This is the initial release of the miGen jobtype, and it includes: * Maya submission dialog * GUI submission dialog * Backend module
