Announcing a major Human update!

Hey All -

I'm excited to announce a new Human update with a boatload of new features and functionality.

Here's the detailed change log for this release:

Added Directory Contents component
Added Texture Mapping components: Box, Planar, Spherical, Cylindrical, and Surface.
Added Custom Preview with Bitmap Materials component
Added Convert To Document Units component
Added Explode Blocks Recursively component
Added Plot Weight to Create Attributes and Object Attributes components
Enabled Layer Full Path support for Create/Modify Layers, Object Attributes, Dynamic Pipeline, Layer Table, and Create Attributes components.
Enabled the Dynamic Pipeline component to listen for updates to lights.
Fixed a bug where Dynamic Pipeline would not deserialize properly
Fixed a bug where Explode Blocks would not remember its properties
Deprecated Box to Box Transform component
Deprecated Objects By Layer component in favor of Dynamic Pipeline
Added ability to specify diffuse and transparency bitmap textures to the Create/Modify Materials component

It's still in the validation queue for food4rhino, but you can download it directly here:

Great! Looking forward to test the texture mapping components. Manipulating a mesh according colour values from a picture looks very promising to me.. Thank you!

The first line of text that went to my email and my eye just picked up is "Human Update", sounded so cyborg.

Anyways, Andrew, good stuff. Effort appreciated.

Nice work Andrew.

I have a Wish for you. Is there any chance you could bring your excellent dynamic value list in line with Davids with the different options, specifically the Check List version.

Well, since you asked so nicely... I'm leaving this in Beta for the moment... but give it a try and let me know if it seems to be working properly.

Thought You might like to see a use for this. Here I'm using [Boundary Volume] to define tanks in a ship using your [Dynamic Value List] in the Check List mode
