Change Log:
--------------------------

Change Log N-Gone Pro 1.4.1

Updated to Support Blender Extensions.

Change Log N-Gone Pro 1.4
Note: If using N-Gone Pro 1.4 is only supported 4.0 and up some aspects are reliant on newer features of Blender, if using an earlier version of  e.g. Blender 3.5 etc please use an older version of Ngone-Pro.

1. “One Click Low Poly” Button Added: its now we have a one click optimizer again!!!
              Executes Create Low poly and Smart UV Unwrap and Pack all at once.
2. Up dated Versatility of Renaming,

 - you can now rename all selected objects instead of one at a time

- Renaming High or Low no longer refers to the text in the box and will not infinitely add New suffix’ to the Object
3. Smart UV Unwrap renamed to Unwrap Combine and Pack now automatically packs your UVs using the blender internal packer with some optimized settings.
4. Removed the Easy Remesh Panel Entirely if you want to continue to use this you can find it on earlier versions and should work well with N-Gone Pro versions 1.37 and lower and blender versions prior to 3.5.1 to 4.0, ultimately there are better ways to do this and it doesn’t really fit in with the addon

5. Bug Fixes:

-  Removing Modifiers and Backups button now destroys the HIGH and LOW Collections preventing a bug which wouldn’t allow you to create low or high poly again unless you manually removed the collection.

Change Log: N-Gone Pro 1.37

Checked Compatibility for Blender 4.1 Beta
1. Added New Tools for adding Vertex Color Attributes on the basis of Selected Objects or Selected Faces greatly speeding up the ability to get you mesh optimized and into texturing software.
2. UI tidy up:
     a. changed the Wire frame Button from a check box to a toggle
     b. made "greyed out" Boxes in Object mode consistent have consistent design so the UI is less cluttered looking between modes.

----------

Change log: N-Gone Pro 1.36

New Tools for Refining Lowpoly Meshes:
Detail Tools

A selection of new Tools that all reduce the time spent refining your low poly and overall give you better control and visual feedback while doing so.
 1.Wireframe: Toggles Wire Frame Overlay so you don’t have to dig for it in the overlay’s menu, so you can have live feedback on the level of detail of your model
2.Detail: Slider For decimation ratio of active object
3.Paste Detail: Pastes value in the Detail Slider to selected objects, without effecting other modifiers in the stack.
4.Exclude Faces From Decimation: In Edit Mode it will Create a vertex group to exclude faces from the Decimate Modifier in the stack, handy for maintain detail in certain areas.
5.Remove Excluded Faces: Deletes the Vertex Group made with the previous button so you can start again.

Updated UI Layout:

6.Rearranged the order of tools in the Panel and added clearly labelled groups to follow the typical order of operations,
Updated some tool tip descriptions to be clearer.
