Hello, all;
I have taken some time to check our content for possible inaccuracies and missleading information and reorganization. I apologize for the long downtime. Here are the most apparent changes:
- You now will find our clarified terms of usage in the upper left corner of most Blog pages.
- At the same location you find quick links to all our product pages.
- We also have rewritten the licenses inside the jass-distribution packages to become more clear about what is allowed and what can not be done.
- We have added Paypal Payment for Primstar-2.
Important note about the Primstar-2 license
The license terms for the Primstar-2 distribution have been changed from GPL to a Fair Enduser License Agreement. The reasons for this change have been summarized by Domino Marama on his Website. I fully support these changes and i have nothing to add to his reasoning. You can find his notice here.
In short the most apparent change is that starting from release primstar-2-dev-175 on, the software can no longer be redistributed. We have meanwhile published this new Primstar-2 release and we have removed all earlier releases from the download inventories. You are not obliged to update your existing installations and the license changes only affect Primstar-2-dev-175 and the upcoming releases.
We hope that our current customers now feel better protected against loss of value. And we hope that our clarifications will encourage new users to join us. Thank you for your patience, appreciation and for any support you gave to us in the past, and hopefully will give to us in the future.
cheers,
Gaia
Hi,
I have recently purchased Primstar 2 for use on my IMac. The link in my inventory causes a folder to be downloaded (“primstar”) with a number of files in it that have a “.py” extension. I’ve attempted to install the files in this subdirectory as “add ons” but this did not work. Please let me know how can download the correct file or how I can use the files that were provided.
In know this is a development project and there are always issues B-)
I’ve uploaded a image that shows the files that do download.
Thanks.
please check point 3.) Of the installation guide: https://www.avalab.org/primstar-2-installation/
I have meanwhile also updated the Bug&Fixes page for Primstar-2:
Great to see the site back up,and for the update..its a pity that in this day and age there is always one that has no respect for the hard work of others.My support will always be with Gaia and Domino.Keep up the great work.
The functional changes between 167 and 175 are as follows:
The UV layout for sculptify has been improved. It now corrects inversion and rotation of the layout automatically.
The rasterise command no longer applies modifiers, and it works on selected vertices only. You should apply modifiers manually before using it if you want 100% accuracy on all vertices. This is because it works on the base mesh not the modifier derived one. This was changed so it can be used directly on the selected object, previously it hid the original and worked on a duplicate. I never felt comfortable with that workflow.
Thanks, Gaia & Domino for being back again. Community was missing the website, and the changes to the license is understandable under the latest events. I hope product will still improve and have the same amount of fan. It’s a pity that GPL cannot be kept. Just a quick question: the 175 version is identical to previous one or has some improvements? If having improvements are there release notes for that?
