Bifrost 2.4.0.0 introduces Bifrost-USD, combining the power of USD to assemble, organize, and edit assets non-destructively with the flexibility and friendliness of the Bifrost graph.
Bifrost-USD features both high-level compounds to easily and quickly populate a USD stage with layers and prims, as well as low-level nodes that match the capabilities of the USD API. It is integrated with Maya-USD, letting you see, select, and adjust elements directly in the viewport.
Other improvements in this release include:
- The ability to use fields to specify properties for aero simulations.
- Better control over tearing for MPM cloth simulations.
- Color picker for easily setting vector values that represent colors.
- Improved slider interaction, with the ability to adjust multiple sliders at once.
- New nodes, including sort_array_with_indices which returns the array of sorted indices so that you can efficiently sort multiple arrays using the same key array.
- Support for outputting user data of various types with BifrostGeoToMaya.
- Improved geometry handling and other performance enhancements.
