nameManager: Added a new mode for renaming maps, not just bitmap maps.
texmapPreview: Added some simple mentalray support.
bitmapCollector: Now gets maps associated with UnwrapUVW modifiers.
selectionHighlighter: Now when you turn off the script, it will turn the Preview Selection mode of your objects to what they were before you entered Selection Highlighting mode.
parameterManager: Now handles the CastShadow property of lights.

Autoweight 0.055 is out

I'm glad I can make the announcement that Autoweight 0.055 is available now.

There are a couple of new features like

* a weighting-falloff curve
* a mirror function
* an automatic region setup function according to your bones (still needs some work for complex characters for sure)
* speed up region selection
* multiple region selections
* additional bugfixes ;)

If you liked Autoweight 0.030 you might like the new version even more cause it makes the skin-weighting life a easier.

Updated several older scripts, here's the major updates:

splinePainter: Added ability to close the spline after creation.
sLib: Added sLibPowerNurbsFilter.
powerSolidManager: Also works on Power Nurbs now.
parameterManager: Added a progress bar to startup, hopefully it'll build it's list a little faster, or at least you'll know it hasn't crashed. Fixed a couple of crash bugs.
modifierUtilities: Changed the default modifiers. You can get the old set back by making your own custom set of default modifiers.
wireBundler: Modified the parameters of SplineMesher to create more consistent results.
