There is a new Transparent option for Hidden Line Surface Color. It allows you to see rotoscopy images, as well as non-geometric objects like nulls and bones, that are behind hidden-line objects, but geometric objects will still occlude each other properly. See Viewing Rotoscopy Images Behind Hidden-Line Objects.
Net View has a new File menu. File > Open lets you use an XSI file browser to select an HTML page, and File > Preferences lets you view or set your Net View preferences.
The transform and tweak tool manipulators no longer disappear when navigating the camera in supra mode. This applies to zooming, orbiting, panning, and so on.
There are a number of changes to rotoscopy:
• Fixed image planes are supported. They can be displayed in other views such as Camera and User.
• Frame and Frame All no longer exit Pixel Zoom mode.
• If an image is larger than the viewport, it displays at 1:1 when Pixel Zoom mode is first activated instead of being scaled to fit.
For complete details about rotoscopy, see Rotoscopy.
The wireframe color set in Display properties no longer uses a specially-indexed palette. It now uses a standard 24-bit RGB color.
You can now use + and – on the numeric keypad to expand or collapse the selected node by one level.
