--- UPDATES ---


v1.2
• Added Custom Size options:
  └─ Autofit: (The old default) Automatically fits all resolutions to 1 Blender Unit (1m)
  └─ Width: Set a custom width/size in BU (meter)
  └─ Pixel Width: Set pixel size in BU (meter) (Mesh Width = Pixel Width * Work Res")
     EXAMPLE VIDEO

• Automatic update-check has been removed. No need - Not that many updates



v1.1
• Added Color 2 Material Mode
  └─ Assigns a material by most common colors, with a threshold value. IMAGE
  └─ Works with or without Alpha/RGB-as-alpha:IMAGE
    (Worst case example - 1k+ high detail images will be slow. Smoothing not recommended.)
  └─ Adjust material outlines with smoothing value. IMAGE
    (Tip: Automatic, will not work for all cases:
          Disable, and use manual smooth-tool for tricky cases.)
  └─ Please Note: c2m mode is intended for distinct color-separation:
      "Busy" images will not work: IMAGE

• Color reduction threshold option added for Vertex Color Mode. IMAGE
• Custom panel location fixed - Assign the kit location in Add-on prefs.
• Add-on category changed from "Modeling" to "Import-Export"



v1.007
• Add Border Expand feature (dilation). Also works in rgb mode.IMAGE
• Added support for using the same image file on all 3 boolean slots (Front, Right & Top)
• Fix rounding error (bottom left mesh faces were offset issue, noticable on low res) IMAGE
• Fix “reverse” tolerance in rbg mode (behaves more like the alpha slider now)
• Fixed some object invalidation issues when switching between to & from boolean geo ops



v1.006
• Batch Process bug fixed (invalid screw flip property when redoing batch)

v1.005
• Custom Work Resolution
• Vertex Color Mode (or, “retro pixel gfx mode”)
  └─ Uses vertex colors instead of the texture for each face converted from the image pixels.

v1.004
• Fixed Console Text Output Total count error

v1.003
• Fixed update notification link : should go directly to gumroad instead of 404 the next update ;>

v1.002
• Added Batch Processing operator for PLANE and SCREW modes.
  └─ Uses last used settings: Load just one image first to tweak settings before batching an entire folder.
  └─ Bools are not (& will not be) batchable.

v1.001
• Better Dissolve (and just one now). Worst Case-ish example IMAGE 1K @ ~1 minute (old 12C)
• User RGB instead of Alpha option (in add-on prefs)
