v2.1 [Nov 5, 2010]
PixPlant is now available for 64 bits Windows 7, Vista and XP. The Photoshop plug-in version has also been updated to support Photoshop 64 bits versions. The setup installs both the 32 and 64 bits versions in a 64 bits operating system; or the 32 bits version if the operating system is 32 bits.
Added the Light Intensity control to the 3D Material tab.
Added mouse wheel zooming to the Texture Canvas as well as to the 3D map display, and also double-click fit zoom and maximum zoom.
Added double-click fit zoom and maximum zoom to 3D Preview.
New Reset Settings link in the Common Surface Settings.
Clicking the label of a setting in the 3D Material maps now resets the respective control to its default value.
Added the Preview Resolution setting to the Preferences dialog. This setting allows PixPlant to deal with large textures and maps, by establishing a size above which maps are resized. This solves slowdowns and problems with large textures not fitting the GPU available memory.
Removed two settings from the Preferences dialog which were available in previous versions: Normal Map Preview and Preview Mip Maps. These settings were found to be unreliable across different GPUs; and since the 3D Preview is a really a just a preview and not the final render (with all the extra sets of options) we chose to remove these settings on this and future versions. Mip maps are now adaptively managed by PixPlant depending on the text size.
Starting from this release PixPlant is no longer available for Windows 2000.
Fixed a few minor issues.
