Release notes:

  • Added support for Maya 2014.
  • Added the ability to do vertex-based motion blur on matte meshes.
  • Added vertex-based motion to “PRT Volume” particles if their underlying mesh has vertex motion.
  • Added the progress updates and the ability to cancel during “Particle Repopulation”.
  • Fixed density problems with “Particle Repopulation”.
    [list]
    [*]The density is now computed based on the incoming density of the original particle set.
  • Density and emission are now scaled properly based on the distribution of the original particles. You may notice a significant change in look.
