Luxace 1.3 out

New version out just before Christmas! If you're an old customer, you should've received your update already, if not, just wear the old HUD and you should get it automagically.
If you have problems still, visit one of our update centers and grab the latest version there.


What's new

v1.3
- NEW: "Lock" and "Unlock" buttons has been added to the HUD to access the new LockCamera functionality. Read the manual for more info
- NEW: the 3 emitters now have a "sculpty" look. Useless? Of course, but I couldn't resist...
- OPTIMIZATION: a lot of tuning has been dedicated to the communication layer between the HUD and the emitters, and in version 1.3 it becomes much more solid and reliable than ever. In addition, the whole system is much lighter and should save a good 20-25% of memory from previous version
- BUGFIX: as a result of the previous point, a vicious bug has been corrected that made the HUD print on screen a weird line of messages while pressing buttons under certain circumstances

About Windlight FirstLook viewer

At the moment, Windlight has got a bunch of problems with local hardware lights rendering.
Some face lights marked as "Windlight compatible" are spreading throughout the grid.
Although I haven't had much time to personally test Luxace with the Windlight viewer, especially because of some issue with the Leopard operating system, since you can place the 3 emitters virtually anywhere near your face, with any color and any intensity/radius setting, it shouldn't be a problem to make it work with Windlight's peculiar way of rendering lights.
To sum it up, I can't assure a full compatibility with the Windlight viewer until it becomes official, but there's a fair chance it will work fine anyway.
