Windows

Cargo for Windows v1.4.0

This update is all about smoother workflows and better DCC integrations. We’ve polished the Cargo experience and significantly improved plugin performance.
We addressed 30+ plugin specific issues which should provide you a much smoother import process and make our assets look great upon import.
Quality of Life Improvements
Cargo:
  • Minor design tweaks to Discover page​
All plugins:
  • All plugins now perform a handshake with Cargo on asset import to:
  • Fail faster by verifying that a plugin is connected before committing to serializing large assets
  • Verify and log a target plugin’s identity (DCC name, DCC version, and plugin version)
Blender Plugin Material Updates:
  • Materials now have UV mapping nodes for all textures, enables easier tiling support for users.
  • Material node rework to be more organized and clean.
  • Blender 4.2 and up has better EEVEE glass materials now. Namely the following changes:
  • EEVEE glass materials now use slab mode for thickness
  • EEVEE glass materials now use ray-traced transmission
  • EEVEE glass materials now have a default value of 0.1 thickness
  • Added white tint to metallic materials.
Cinema 4D Plugin:
  • RS Object tags to geometry using Redshift Materials
Unreal Engine Plugin:
  • Master standard material is now double-sided! Things like tents or thin walled buildings now have interiors!
  • Master transparent and masked materials are now double-sided. This fixes problems where grass and fence objects would only be visible from one side.
Bug Fixes
Cargo:
  • Fixed a bug where the password reset screen would be unresponsive
  • Fixed a bug where users where the wrong error were surfaced to users that prevented them from downloading assets
  • Fixed a bug where Opening Cargo will sometimes redirect users from the Discover page to Kits page.
  • Fixed a bug where opening a Material from a kit would load an unrelated asset
  • Fixed a bug where Cargo would freeze when copying files after download location change
  • Fixed Cinema 4D auto plugin update failing due to mismatched minor and patch versions between the Cinema 4D installation’s version.
  • Fixed general plugin auto update failures due to the limited incoming connection.
  • Fixed simple and advanced software setup failures for Unreal when a user is missing the registry keys the Unreal Engine editor typically generates when it’s installed.
  • Fixed message validation error between CargoPlatformServices and Cargo during Houdini plugin installation.
Blender Plugin:
  • Default IOR for glass textures is now set to 1.45.
  • Refraction textures now map directly to transmission weight in BSDF node.
  • Uses transparent BSDF for glass textures.
  • The semantic version of Cargo’s Blender addon that is displayed in Blender’s addon menu is now synced with the latest version of the addon.
Cinema 4D Plugin:
Legacy Redshift Material
  • Changed Fresnal Type from IOR to Metalness as a default.
Redshift Material
  • Fixed failing imports of materials.
  • Metalness value by default is set to 0.8.
  • Glass/transmission material refraction linked to transmission weight.
  • Glass/transmission material roughness linked to reflection roughness.
  • Glass/transmission material diffuse linked to base color and transmission color.
  • Emissive materials - assets with emissive textures have a base weight of 20 by default.
  • Bump map intensity values (Height Scale) new default 0.0001.
  • Removed Inversion off roughness maps for Redshift Materials.
Octane
  • For all glass shaders, in the Albedo node - reduced the legacy gamma down to 3.5 for clearer glass.
  • For all materials with emissive - In the Emission channel, increase the Surface Brightness Power to 2.5. Brighter emissive materials like neon signs.
  • Fixed issue with renderer option not being set on dialog box initialization causing Octane materials to not import as Octane materials.
Unity Plugin:
  • Fixed RGBA texture creation by using the red channel instead the alpha channel of opacity textures when sourcing opacity values per pixel.
Unreal Engine Plugin:
  • SRGB settings now false for ARM textures. Removing overly shiny or "wet" effect from materials.
  • Reduced IOR for glass materials to 1.0. This stops the strange magnifying glass effect we were getting in Unreal Engine.
  • Masked and translucent materials now use the correct master material.
