• Materials and Textures created by Flatiron now receive names to make their use in the material editor more convenient.
• Flatiron Modifier is no longer visible in Add Modifier ui to avoid accidental adding.
• Fixed a bug where merged data from multipass rendering could end up with the wrong gamma setting.
• Prevented a crash caused by invalid Editable Poly objects.
• Various minor fixes to improve unwrap results of objects with problematic mesh topology.
• Added MAXScript function to list all objects in an unwrap group.

• Fixed an issue that sometimes caused windows like the ‘Move Bones’ dialog to be placed at inaccessible locations (ie a no longer connected secondary screen).
• Performance of the BonesPro MAXScript interface has been improved for various calls. This includes a fix where execution could become extremely slow in rare cases.
BonesPro-4_72_video
• The BonesPro C++ Interface has been extended with support for dual-quaternion weights. It also received a bug fix for cases where requested data wasn’t returned correctly. These changes also affected the layout of the bonespro.h include file and existing clients need minor adjustments to work with this version of BonesPro.
