xNormal 3.9.1

xNormal v3.9.1 has been released!

It adds a Direct3D 9.0c graphics driver for the 3D viewer , hurray!



I was tired of crappy OpenGL drivers thats why included the Direct3D driver for the viewer.

This driver can use Shader Model 1, 2 and 3 so people with low-end cards can now use the xNormal 3D viewer.

A .X mesh importer has been added too.

Improved the TIFF exporter. Now can save 8bpp/16bpp/32FP formats.

Included also a small general overview tutorial in Flash created using the wonderful Wink recording program ( more info at www.debugmode.com/wink ) .

Improved Windows Vista RC1 compatibility.

Improved OBJ mesh importer speed.

Also solved tons of minor bugs.

btw, there is a bug in the latest ATI Catalyst 6.7 drivers with FBOs and render-to-cubemap texture and texture corruptions... If you are using these drivers I recommend you to rollback to the 6.6 or install the new 6.8 to avoid problems with the xNormal 3D viewer. ATI has been informed and they're working to solve it.
