Update List

• version 0.03 (10/13/2004)
  • The executable pvenginesub.exe now works for POV-Ray V3.6.
  • Sharp and semi-sharp creases are supported. use command: subcrease value
    crease values only have effect on sharp edges (at least one of its two adjacent triangles is flat).

  -- versions 0.01-0.02b are for POV-Ray version 3.5 --

• version 0.02b (05/27/2004) ( Executable) ( Source)
  • The executable pvengine.exe is now compiled under the Release mode instead of the Debug mode. The speed is noticably better.
  • A side feature is added: if substeps 0 is specified, smooth on will create a smooth shaded image of the original mesh.
• version 0.02 (05/21/2004)
  • new: Support to object "mesh" is added
  • new: Surface boundary is set to smooth as default.
  • Performance of subdivision is improved, especially for complex objects.
• version 0.01b (05/12/2004)
  • Fixed a problem that leads to slow rendering of un-subdivided meshes.
  • The syntax to switch on flat shading is changed to "smooth off" from "flatshading"
  • Removed the restriction on the maximum valence of the vertices.
  • Fixed the memory allocation error when a subdivided mesh has zero faces (because of shrinking boundary).
• version 0.01 (05/11/2004)
  • Loop's subdivision scheme
  • UV mapping
  • Flat/Smooth shading
