C3D Modeler Release 117978: Changes to the Color and Optical Properties Attribute
In previous versions of the C3D Modeler kernel, the color of the body and its child topological entities (faces, edges, vertices) was stored in the MbColor attribute. This attribute uses the four-component RGBA color representation. However, 3D applications use more properties to render objects. If ...
