Argus News

Another small update to Argus tonight. This fixes several small bugs concerning selections, which could remain active on tracks that were deleted or merged, causing future problems and possible crashes. Creating a track now also stops an active selection.

Happy animating!

A 4th update this month to animation software Argus today. A few small bug fixes and repairs to how things work, and a few new features.

Changes in the last 4 updates include:
-A fix to render placement when starting a render from a non-zero origin.
-A fix to the check for exceeding texture or geometry frame when initialising 3D mode.
-Repaired the check to exclude consecutive texture frames or geometry frames if the option is ticked.
-Sequencer title bar now shows number of tracks in selection, if this is greater than 1.
-Windows will reset to default positions if the desktop resolution changes between sessions.
-Starting Argus with a film file (.agf) argument will now load the film, permitting a Window double-click of a film.
-And many more...

Argus is free to use for small films, with a simple DLC upgrade to unlock the power for long and complex films. Find Argus here:

Another small improvement to Argus today:
-A fix to the check for exceeding texture or geometry frame when initialising 3D mode. The check rounded frames to the nearest integer, while rendering rounds down, so the check could give a 'exceeded' warning when this did not actually occur.
-Repaired the check to exclude consecutive texture frames or geometry frames if the option is ticked. This initially only applied to integer values, but now excludes repeating rounded-down floats.

Happy animating!

A small but important bug fix in this update:
-When starting a render from a non-zero origin, the rendered frame showed the positions at frame+1 rather than frame (compared to the live playback). This has been fixed in this update.

Happy animating!
