Now shipping MARI 1.2 adds Python integration, Texture Mirroring, a levels filter and improved GPU detection and support.
Python Integration:
MARI 1.2 adds support for Python 2.6.5, allowing users to produce scripts that seamlessly integrate MARI in to your workflow.
Texturing Mirroring:
Texture Mirroring is a small feature that can be useful when painting UV assets. Although it is not a real time symmetrical painting solution, it does allow symmetry to be achieved. Simple paint the right side then mirror to the left.
Levels Filter:
The Levels Filter changes in the colour levels in the paint, by setting the white point, midstone, and black.
