A 4th update this month to animation software Argus today. A few small bug fixes and repairs to how things work, and a few new features.
Changes in the last 4 updates include:
-A fix to render placement when starting a render from a non-zero origin.
-A fix to the check for exceeding texture or geometry frame when initialising 3D mode.
-Repaired the check to exclude consecutive texture frames or geometry frames if the option is ticked.
-Sequencer title bar now shows number of tracks in selection, if this is greater than 1.
-Windows will reset to default positions if the desktop resolution changes between sessions.
-Starting Argus with a film file (.agf) argument will now load the film, permitting a Window double-click of a film.
-And many more...
A little update to our animation software Argus today. Three little changes:
-A new light on Event List next to track name indicates custom name status. If lit, the track has a custom (manually entered) name and will not be auto-renamed. Can be clicked to re-enable auto-rename (or enter a blank name as before).
-A few new key alternatives for the Windows editor added: Keypad Enter for Kill event, Keypad Divide for Set Modulator, Keypad Multiply for Move with current parameters.
-A warning is now shown if trying to start 3D mode when no camera is active.
-Starting Argus with a film file (.agf) argument will now load the film, permitting a Window double-click of a film.
Argus is free to use in it's basic version, limited to 450 frames and 8 tracks. DLC can be purchased to expand frames and tracks to maximum. Find Argus here:

SFXEngine Now On Sale
SFXEngine has been updated to v1.35 and is now on sale. SFXEngine now has 25% off for a few days, with 50% off selected Bolt-on DLC: Distortion Engines (the Band Distortion engine is a hugely useful engine), Filter Engines, and Reverb Engines.
The new update is now live and includes a few useful features. Some of these changes pave the way for a bigger update to come.
Radioactive, Yinyang, and a scatter of SFXEngine DLC are on on sale this week for a special Septoberfest Sale. Radioactive and Yinyang have 25% off, with discounts on SFXEngine Delay, Amplitude, Sample, AND the Modulator Pack DLC.
A new update to SFXEngine is now live. Lots of interesting changes here:
-Automatic resampling of samples to allow seamless loading of non-44100hz samples.
-Silence (zerosample) level and length now settable via the Project Menu to allow dynamic changes, inc. enable/disable.
-Fix to the linear sample interpolation, added cubic Hermite interpolation, and interpolation settings added to the Sample Menu.
One big change it that the demo now includes all DLC and DLC examples to demonstrate these important effects. In the demo, DLC engines are brown and labelled "(DLC)" to clearly differentiate them from the basic engines.
-Better dynamic resizing of sound list, engine list, environment list as used in Argus.
-The start of unlinking the system to 44100hz. A new start-up procedure and background options to unify the system to a potential new rate.
