In addition to all the features around CheckMate that came out in the past week, we released a couple of other features that we’d like to tell you about.
Native File Format
Artists can now set the native file format for 3D model products when publishing. The native file format is the application format in which the model was initially created. This helps customers determine compatibility. Only those formats that are native to an application are selectable as native, for example Maya or Cinema4D, while exchange formats like OBJ, FBX, and DAE are not. If the native format is known, customers will see it listed first in search results. It will also be shown in the first row of the product preview technical specs section.
If you use the same native file format for all your products and you’d like us to update them all for you with this new information, please contact Support for assistance.
Renderer Used
For a number of the native file formats, we’ve also added in a required Renderer Used and optional Version field to the publisher. If we are missing your favorite renderer, please tell us and we’ll add it. Specifying the renderer assigned to the model will help avoid confusion for customers–the lack of this information is the most common cause for a refund request.
Tighter restrictions on file format version
We now require file format version with a native file format type. Currently published models stay as they are, but editing them requires the version to be added if it’s not already there. Again, this will help customers a lot in determining compatibility.
New login that remembers
The login/signup widget has been completely replaced. The only real new feature in there should be quite helpful–the “Remember me” feature. Normally, after several hours of inactivity, you are logged out. With Remember me, you stay logged in for 30 days of inactivity. For security reasons, you will need to log in again for security-related activities such as changing member or payment info or making a purchase.
Easier navigation to products in Reports and My Purchases
We’ve made it a little easier to navigate around products. In My Files/Purchases & Downloads, clicking on the product name now goes to product preview. In Reports, the Sales Monthly Details, Top Sellers, Downloads, and Ratings product ID field now does the same.
Tags: login, renderer, Site upgrade
Adding render and native format is Nice and helpfull informations!
just a remark about logout after you update it the logout link in the dashboard (under Welcom) dosn’t work it only redirect you to the home page but you still login.
I think it will be also much easiest to navigate between dashboard and other site page if you separate the arrow and account link in the main site banner… the account redirect you directelly to dashboard and the arrow show you the menu list with settings, reports, membe infos and log out.
it is just my opinion don’t know about others
“just a remark about logout after you update it the logout link in the dashboard (under Welcom) dosn’t work it only redirect you to the home page but you still login.”
Yep, I tried to hold off on the release notes until we fixed all the bugs… That’ll be fixed in the next few days.
“I think it will be also much easiest to navigate between dashboard and other site page if you separate the arrow and account link in the main site banner… the account redirect you directelly to dashboard and the arrow show you the menu list with settings, reports, membe infos and log out.”
Can you explain this a bit more? Are you wanting a quicker way to get to the Dashboard? So, you don’t have to click the Account+Arrow and then click on your member name to get to the Dashboard?
yes I mean getting dashboard with one click
and the arrow show the menu.
