Patternodes version 3.1.1

Updated At: 2023-01-09

Changes: New features and improvements: - Better color model support. Color parameters can now be set and stored in different colorspaces/models (like Grayscale and CMYK) instead of always being converted to RGB and losing precision. This will also mean some exported colors will look different compared to older versions, so there is an option added in the settings to keep the old conversion to get the same output. - Made it easier to find the Value Time function node by also placing it in a new Animation category in the add node menu. - You can now use middle-mouse button for panning in the preview just like in the node editor view. - Updated manual. - Added link to user Discord channel in the Help menu.
