Version 3.886 released on 1-1-2019

   * Utilities: Added new function to create a CSV report of assets in current scene.
   
   * Displacements: Updated the default Add Landscape DCM preset to normalize the vertex colors of the 4wayBlend Data Channels. Fixes results going out-of-range with scaled values.

The scene you sent me was after the object went missing that was used in the WWMT Helper.

When I tried to export from other objects with fresh WWMT Helpers, it worked fine.

Can you do this for me: Click Wall Worm > Wall Worm Help and at the bottom of the floater is a System Info box. Copy all the contents from their and paste here.

Do you have the latest version of WW installed?

If not, please update WW to the latest version and see if the problem is fixed.

If you have the latest, please send me your scene to test.

Since posting above, support for XRef Scenes has been vastly expanded.

You can now access displacements from XRef Scenes for use in tools in current scene by using the Displacement Proxy geometry class. This can be created with the Displacement Floater in the Level Design Menu.

The forum registration was down recently. Sorry for those who have tried to register and could not. This problem likely started in November.

Also, it has been brought to my attention that the main WW site and possibly these forums have been inaccessible for many Russian visitors. I apologize. This is out of my hands as it is due to a set of policies set by the Russian government to block some apps. Apparently I must prove to them that the WW website isn't using some banned app. How to prove this, I just don't know.

In the meantime, if you need to get in touch, there is a link to the WW Discord channel inside WW at the menu Wall Worm > Wall Worm Online > Wall Worm Discord.
