What’s new in the Aspose.3D for Java 23.4

Release Highlights

Aspose.3D for Java 23.4 introduces major architectural improvements by removing the System.Drawing dependency and replacing it with platform-neutral types. It also enhances OBJ export with support for PBR material definitions, texture copying, and expands the API for advanced texture manipulation and pixel mapping.

New Features

• Texture Codec and Pixel Mapping Support
  Introduced new classes such as ITextureCodec, PixelMapping, and PixelMapMode for external texture encoding/decoding and direct pixel manipulation in memory.

• Pixel Format Transformation
  Added capability to transform a texture’s pixel layout using transformPixelFormat.

Enhancements

• Export Textures with OBJ
  Added a new property exportTextures in SaveOptions to allow copying texture files alongside OBJ output.

• PBR Material and Normal Mapping in OBJ Export
  Improved material export to include physically based rendering (PBR) and normal maps in OBJ.

• System.Drawing Decoupling
  Replaced usage of java.awt types with internal equivalents such as Vector2, Vector3, Rect, and TextureData.

Bug Fixes

• OBJ Export Missing Textures
  Fixed an issue where image and texture files were not being copied to the OBJ directory during export.

• OBJ Loading Issues
  Resolved errors related to missing material/texture and incorrect handling of control points as normals.
