Updates

The newest version of zForm is packed with new features and improvements.

Aesthetic UI Improvements:
The Input Type is now a dropdown, enabling the addition of more input type options in the future, especially for scaling.
Deform Mesh:
A new feature in the Mesh Properties section that allows you to bend, twist, taper, and stretch the mesh with several options to give you more control.
Texture Properties:
A brand-new section filled with loads of features such as:
- Control over contrast and brightness of depth maps
- Presets for quick template adjustments to the mesh
- Cropping, mapping extension, and color space
- Depth Map Painting for editing the depth map in Paint mode
Utility Tools:
A new section at the bottom that includes an Export Animation feature, allowing you to export animations as GLB/GLTF files for Video and Directory input types. I’ve also added some basic instructions for exporting a single mesh.

Lingering fix with normals: One more fix to correct facing normals when the background removal feature isn't being used.

Another fix for Normal Corrections: Resolves an issue with normals that occurred after applying all modifiers.

Recalculate Normals: A fix to recalculate normals after applying all modifiers.

Handle inverted grayscale images: Now supports negative Depth Strength values for depth map images with inverted grayscale colors.

New Feature to remove entire backside of a mesh: Allows you to remove the entire backside of a mesh for a clean, smooth cut.

Fixed Normals: Resolved an issue where normals were flipped immediately after clicking “Apply Depth Map.”

"Apply All Modifiers" for Directory: Fixed an issue where the material would change frame by frame instead of staying static.
Error Handling for Directory: Added error handling when some images in a directory didn't have corresponding depth maps.

UI improvements: Added an "Expand All" button to expand or collapse all sections at once.

UI improvements: Each main section now includes collapse/expand functionality to keep the interface clean.

Improve file path handling: Fixed cases where file paths weren't handled correctly.

Compatible with Blender 4.3: zForm is now fully compatible with Blender 4.3.

Resolved Rotation and Mesh View Issues: Fixed rotation and mesh view compatibility issues.
Modular Code Rebuild: Reorganized and rebuilt the project code for better scalability and future development.

Enhanced Handling of Missing Depth Maps: Added error handling for images missing associated depth maps while still processing images that do.

New functionality for Video and Image Sequences: Generate 3D meshes from videos and image sequences. (Full product page updates are in progress.)

Alpha Transparency Support Added: Implemented support for images with alpha channels (PNG files only).

Solidify Option Added: Introduced mesh thickness control via a new Solidify modifier, with adjustable thickness from 0 to 10 units (default 0.02).

Stay in your view: zForm now maintains your preferred mesh view instead of resetting to Front View.
Increased max Smooth Factor: Raised the maximum Smooth Factor from 2 to 6.
Applied rotation and scale: Automatically applies rotation and scale to the mesh for a smoother workflow.
