Rizom 2020 Winter Update

New features:

• Topocopy - The first thing you need to know about Topocopy is that it reduces UV Mapping of topologically and/or geometrically similar islands a three step process: First you select your island(s), then you unwrap a and hit “Update Similar” - Done! The process is so easy, because when you’re working with TopoCopy, it actively looks for similar elements in your model. It will do this even if they are geometrically, but not topologically different. This means  you can now really copy cuts and unwraps from one island to another, including topology that had pinch or spread fixed, or was just in need of a little tender love and optimising.  
• Magnet Weld welds islands that are on top of, or in very close proximity to each other in UV Space – aka the 2D view. You control the distance at which they weld by adjusting the values in the Magnet Weld spinner. Simply select the edges you want to weld, define your distance, and hit W.
• PolyLoop lets you select a loop of polygons in any direction you want, based on the orientation of the edge you select. To use it, enter Polygon Mode (F3),make sure Magic Wand is not active, and doubleclick with the left mousebutton (DLMB) over an edge in the (poly)loop you want to select

• By popular request, there is a new bar at the bottom of the Rizom UI: The ColorID bar. It appears when you click the ColorID button. The intent is to let you create your own colour ID maps for further use in, i.e. Substance by letting you pick specific or random, automatic colours. You can use the Color ID for the above, as well as colouring problem islands when asking for support, defining material groups by colour if you have not defined any groups in your modeller, as well as simple colour blocking if needed. 
• As part of starting work on nested groups, you can now rename Islands and Tiles. They don’t carry into, i.e. Painter yet, but that’s coming.
• Edges and Margin now automatically rescale as you rescale your map withthe folowing standard values:
