We have updated FlowED beta to 0.88 with changes that compliment the recent Flow update.

New features include:

.Scene (dotScene) loading
This opens up flow to loading scenes created in a variety of 3d applications eg. Maya, Blender and quite a few others. It also makes FlowED a useful .scene to .OSM converter for teams that use 3ds max with ofusion combined with other 3d tools.

Viewport Controls.
We added some basic UI enhancements to allow switching between views and returning to your last perspective view.

We also  added a triangle count counter for the current view (currently includes the UI) The node properties dialog shows you the actual tri count of the selected mesh.

You can also switch render modes between Shaded, point, and wireframe rendering. As well as having a physics debug lines button that shows you the collision geometry in the current viewport as wireframes.

Basic Animation Support
You can now load animated meshes and play back their animation tracks/sequences. If you have tried Flow you will have seen the basic key frame animation example source code. Something we hope to incorporate into flowED at a future date.

One other thing that’s still in testing is that you can now load media from remote locations on your HD. It works perfectly so long as ALL the media for the scene is self contained in a single folder. This is something we will be addressing in the next version
