The Nanite export node now works in Houdini 22 and has a Simplified mode for everyday exports, as well a better preview of what will be sent to unreal. Export folders and naming with optional versions, materials you can rename or link to ones already in Unreal. Assembly Decoration has had part picking reworked. Ongoing work to improve backwards compatability.

Natsura 0.7.2.2 is a bug fix release. The Edit Pivots tool opens again in Pivot Edit, Assembly Resource and Import Assembly. Pivot Edit no longer errors when a scene is first opened, and Import Props and Seed Points work again.

Scenes from older versions upgrade more accurately: branch widths, piece orientation, whorl roll, piece counts and bark in Simulate now match what you had before. Assembly Resource can now take multiple material assignments, and Grow has a new Absolute Start width mode. Fixed some previews on nodes.

0.7.2 rolls up everything since 0.7.0.3, including the four preview releases in between, and there is quite a lot in it. You can now batch export a whole library of Nanite assemblies. Simulate has a new post-processing stack driven by maps and effectors, Surface Decoration has been overhauled with variable resolution meshing, and Natsura Shape lets you reshape a tree after the fact. There is also wind in the assembly previews, the groundwork for Clusters Decoration 2.0, a new Project Browser, and a lot of smaller fixes along the way.

Education Licensing Test

Multiple assembly decorators supported and other instancing bugs.

Highly experimental release containing many untested features and significant under-the-hood changes to the decorations pipeline

Fixed bugs across rigging, wrangling and viewer states. Some small performance improvements.

Fixed offset and multiplicity bugs, wrangle improvements. Enhanced performance. rig definition no longer used for meshing

Experimental support for handrawing trees and importing speedtree skeletons

Everything shipped since 0.6.0.0, collected: Rig to Assembly and the rig toolchain behind it, the assemblies pipeline, experimental simulate chaining with Natsura Stage, rigged Nanite export to Unreal, portable 2-parm mapping, and a deep cook-trigger purge.
