Silhouette v6.1.10 Released

Features:

Alpha to Color
Composites each of the RGB channels together and places the result in the alpha. This is useful for working with shapes assigned to different RGB channels in Roto. Connect the Roto > Channels output to the Color to Alpha node and RGB mattes with corresponding alpha are created.

Display ROI Outline Viewer Preference
The Viewer > Display ROI Outline preference turns the ROI outline on and off.

Node.getDOD() Scripting Function
Added node.getDOD(port, frame) method.

Scripting Tweaks For Property
It was not possible to compare two properties to see if they were the same. In addition, it was not possible to get a property’s parent object, to determine which node, session, source, etc the property is in. Added Property.parent attribute. Added rich comparison to Property, Object, and Raster.

Show What’s New on Startup
On startup, if this is the first time launching a new version of Silhouette, it will open the What’s New. It will only do this once. This behavior is controlled by the User Interface > Show What’s New After Installing A New Version preference.

Source Auto Selected After Importing
The source is now automatically selected after importing so you can then immediately press Ctrl-N(Win/Linux)-Cmd-N(Mac) to create a new session.

Bug Fixes
Applying Point Trackers From Within Nested Layers
Applying point trackers from within nested layers did not work.

Object List Drag Crash
In the Object List, dragging a selected layer that had selected child objects would cause a crash. Now, it’ll treat any selected child of a layer being moved as unselected, since they will be moved along with their parent anyway.

Open Spline Conversion to Bezier Problem
Some open splines would display corruption at the end points. Sometimes invisible within Silhouette, the exported shapes would display problems in Nuke.

Paint > Clone > Align Mode Update Problem
When there was a Clone offset, clicking on the Align button caused the Viewer to show only the unaligned offset. Moving the cursor back into the Viewer would then update the proper offset.

Paint Only Output Bug
The Paint Only output would not calculate its DOD properly in some cases.

Paint Only Stereo View Problem
When using the Paint node’s Paint Only output, you could not view both the left and right views in the Output node.

Painting in Stereo and Alpha
When painting in stereo, the right stroke’s alpha was not being stored.

Stereo Align Broken with ROI
Stereo Align did not work when using a ROI.
