SAI Bristle Definition Bitmap Corrector (Zip File, 185K)
This is a program to correct invalid bristle definition bitmaps that can no longer be used from SAIv2 2024-02-22 version.
Originally, SAI silently ignored after the 64th hair points in bristle definition bitmaps.
But recently we found that a lot of bristle definition bitmaps with hair points far exceeding 64 points has been circulating.
To correct this trendncy, changed the bristle loader to reject incorrect bristle definition bitmaps from 2024-02-22 version.
This program rewrites the hair points after the 64th point to invalid values so that it can be used even after the 2024-02-22 version.
Basic usage is to extract all the ZIP files, run SaiBristleCorrector.exe in the extracted folder, and press the "Execute Correction" button.
How To Use:
The distribution is not an installer model.
Extract all files(and folders) from the distribution Zip file, and run sai2.exe directly in the folder of extracted files.
Please manage file associations and shortcuts for sai2.exe yourself.
