Title: infiniMap V1.5 has been released
Post by: lightwolf on March 10, 2008, 10:21:24 PM
We're proud to announce the 7th free update of infiniMap.

Version 1.5 is a milestone release. Amongst the major additions is full support for tiled OpenEXR images, a OSX UB port as well as a new batch converter.

We're also releasing infiniMap Exr, a lower cost edition of infiniMap that only supports tiled OpenEXR images. If you need to use JPEG 2000 or ECW images as textures, infiniMap Pro will fill your needs.

Here is a list of the major changes in Version 1.5:
  • Supports tiled OpenEXR images as native files
  • infiniMap Exr is available on OSX as a Universal Binary
  • Completely re-written converter:
    • Multi-threaded
    • Writes JPEG 2000/ECW images of raw image files up to 500MB in size
    • Writes unlimited size OpenEXR images
    • Batch conversion
    • "Convert-on-Load" allows the loading of any supported image file into infiniMap, converting to a native image format as needed
    • Uses LightWave 3D image i/o plugins natively to read images for the conversion
    • Low-memory footprint - the converter processes on a scanline basis
  • Multi-Channel texturing node for layered OpenEXR images.
  • Various performance and usability improvements.

This update is available now in our downloads section. We hope you will enjoy working with infiniMap V1.5

Cheers,
Dagmar & Mike
