File name : Texture Utilities V 2.5
Platform and requirements : Virtools Dev 2.5
Right of Use : Freeware     Date : 06/10/03
Description of content : After putting this dll in dev's buildingblocks directory 4 new functions will appear in Materials-Textures/Texture:
_Save texture to disk Using original filename : Feed it a texture and a path and it will save it to disk. The texture will be saved to the original filename that is stored in Dev. This allows for saving all textures in a composition without the need for name giving. Using a new filename : Don't forget to append an extension ! Dev will automatically save to the format that the extension specifies!
_Send to video memory All textures that are rendered must first be sent to the graphics card. With this bb you can upload to video memory at the start of your scene. This is to prevent the (significant) framerate drops when you turn a corner and view a large texture for the first time. There is also the posibility to automatically upload all textures.
_Send to system memory If a texture has been modified on the gfx card (texture render) this function copies it to system mem.
_Clear from video memory Removes the specified texture from video memory. .

Description of content : CoolFlex is a real-time flexible object creation plugin for Virtools dev 2.0 / SE, it has the same feature set as the 3dsmax FLEX modifier and the MAYA softbody implementation and most importantly it is extremely fast. In a nutshell it allows you to convert "any" object into a dynamic flexible object, which can be parented to anything , put on paths and use any transform functions to move them. The weight of the vertices can be painted in 3dsmax and exported out directly and for people who don't have 3dsmax can use our custom vertex weight paint system that is included with the plugin. Interactive demos are available from our site http://dev.into3d.com FEE FOR USE

File name : Event Stream Switch
Category : Logic Behavior Graph
Right of Use : Freeware
Platform and requirements : 1.0+
File size (compressed) : 10 KB
Date : 10/31/99/99
Description of content : The Event Stream Switch (ESS) is a relatively simple but very useful behaviour graph that can be used to control the flow of events between behaviours. The ESS allows you to isolate sections of your scripts using simple events to enable and disable the flow of events throught the EMS. When the ESS is enabled, events are passed through the ESS as if the ESS did not exist. When the ESS is disabled, events are routed to an alternate output that is not connected to any behaviour. (SEE the enclosed CMO, and read the comments in Schematic in Trace mode for more information)
