UPDATES

v2.0.1 (11/20/2024)

•  New functionality for Video and Image Sequences: Now you can generate 3D meshes from not just single images, but also videos and image sequences. I'm in the process of updating the full product page and snapshots of the tool to account for the new features. 

v1.0.4 (11/01/2024)

• Alpha Transparency Support Added: Implemented support for images with alpha channels. This update allows you to toggle transparency for your images in the Material Properties section within the add-on. Please keep in mind this functionality only works for PNG files with alpha. 

v1.0.3 (10/31/2024)

• Solidify Option Added: Introduced mesh thickness control with a new Solidify modifier. Users can now adjust the thickness of their depth-mapped meshes from  0 to 10 units, with a default value of 0.02.

v1.0.2 (10/25/2024)

• Stay in your view: zForm will no longer reset to Front View each time you apply a new depth map. Now, you can remain in your preferred mesh view without needing to readjust it each time.
• Increased max Smooth Factor: The maximum Smooth Factor has been raised from 2 to 6, giving you even greater control..
• Applied rotation and scale: Rotation and scale are now automatically applied to the mesh, adding extra convenience for a smoother workflow.

v1.0.1 (10/13/2024)

• NEW FEATURE: Added option to apply all modifiers within the tool.
