PLY converter Normals

[alainfx]

Yes, I got it, thanks... looks like we'll need yet another option to do that particular transformation.

Hi Vlado,
In a few weeks we are going to start a RealFlow production, so I would like to know if this new particular transformation has been added to the latest stable builds.
Thanks.

To the stable builds, no (we only do bug fixes in the stable branch). To the nightly builds - yes.

Best regards,
Vlado

Hello, for this Realflow flip option :

To the stable builds, no (we only do bug fixes in the stable branch). To the nightly builds - yes.

I have installed the latest nightly build (not the stable one), but I don't find this new option (ply2vrmesh usage shows the usual flipYZ and flipYPosZ options).
Maybe this new option is not documented yet, how is it called ?

Cheers.

I have downloaded the release notes, and searched for any indication that this new Realflow flip option was added to ply2vrmesh, but I couldn't find any.
Are you sure this feature was added ?
Cheers.

I have installed the latest Nightly Build for maya2014 (Windows 64bit), and saw a new option in ply2vrmesh : flipXPosZ
I tried to convert a reaflow bin file to vrmesh, but I got this error :

error: Error reading file: [VUtils::RFBinInterface::readFile] Wrong ID code: fabada

Maybe it only supports bin files generated by Realflow2013 (released on 27th may 2013), and does not support the Realflow2012 version anymore ?

EDIT : I think I tried it with particle bin files, I will have to test it with real mesh files, sorry.

EDIT 2 : ok, forget it, it works perfectly, and the new flipXPosZ option allows to get the right rotations, thanks !

Glad it is working correctly now
