Couple typos:

* Improved the reading of EXR files using multi-threading for better perfomance when loading HDRIs

"performance"

* Fixed an issue with comma in filenames make file uinreadable (thanks @snoyer !)

"Fixed an issue with commas in filenames making files unreadable" Could also be simplified to "Fixed handling of commas in filenames" / "Fixed handling of filenames containing commas"

mwestphal commented 10 months ago

Updated, thanks!

Fixed a crash when using a file with more then 254 bones

Fixed a crash when using a file with more than 254 bones (Requires OpenGL 4.3)

Also, missing:

Fixed an issue with Unicode filenames on the title bar on Windows.

mwestphal commented 10 months ago

Updated, thanks!

Meakk commented 10 months ago

And we need a nice picture (preferably an animated gif) as usual :)
I'd say a good candidate is an USD file?

We just added support to USD and VDB to our small and minimalist 3D viewer, F3D. F3D is a great companion tool for your pipeline, generating thumbnails and quickly let you look at your data. You can even use it to script image generation, as we did for the gif above.

https://github.com/f3d-app/f3d/releases/tag/v2.3.0

Please try it and let us know what you think.

Also its free, open source and cross-platform :)
