Pepakura v4.0

[eric_son]

I fired up pepakura this morning---and I got a notification popup. It said v4.0 is released.
SO I went to their website and checked the revision history.
When I saw it, I was in disbelief.

1) Support for up to 8000px width textures!!!!
2) Support for Hardware Rendering!!!!!

I checked the calendar -- APRIL6. It ain't APRIL1. Too late for APRIL1... So I proceeded to download.

I grabbed one of my WIP models and upped the textures from 1024x1024 to 8000. Saved. Then reloaded in Pepakura.

And true enough, the hirez textures were supported! I did not get the dreaded "textures downsized to 1024" message.

Next, I enabled HW rendering. I also went to my nvidia control panel and overrode the AA setting to 32x. I restarted Pepakura and yep, no more jagged edges.

Kudos to Pepakura to finally relaxing the 1024x1024 texture limits and supporting HW rendering.

(I no longer have to shell out 100usd for that hires plugin)
