Release Notes

[Josh]

0.9.6

• Fixed some glTF files not displaying animation if no animation data in the root node (only editor is updated)
• Added "Reset Bind Pose" feature in model editor, which has the power to save and destroy models.

[Josh]

0.9.6

• More improvement to the glTF loader. Although some glTFs are still problematic, glTF files re-exported from UU3D seem very reliable, and it looks like some Khronos people are working on a tool to fix some of the problematic files. Only the editor is updated at this point.

[Josh]

0.9.6

• Load Animation feature in model editor will now allow selection of multiple files, so you can add them all at once.

[Josh]

0.9.6

• Fixed selection outlines in editor when DPI scaling = 100%

[Josh]

0.9.6

• CurveValue and CurveAngle are back. Although these are redundant because the same can be done with Mix() I could not actually remember how, and these functions are very intuitive to me.
• Refraction option removed from the editor for the release of 0.9.6, will be revisited.

[Josh]

0.9.6

• Project manager sync feature should work better now.

[Josh]

0.9.6

• Nature pack DLC updated. A lot of mipmaps weren't calculated correctly, making objects appears darker as you get further away from them.

[Josh]

0.9.6

• Added a check for valid Utf-8 encoding. In some rare situations non-valid Utf-8 encoding could cause a crash when converted to a wide string. Only the editor is updated.

[Josh]

0.9.6

• Per-vertex mesh layer alignment no longer affects vertex normals, since the back-face lighting feature seems to solve the problem.
• Some small adjustments to the project manager. Sync interface will load a lot faster.

[Josh]

0.9.6

• Changed 2D viewport rendering to ensure compatibility with some older AMD cards.

[Josh]

0.9.6

• Changed some order-of-initialization stuff so the problem we saw in today's video, when you are creating a new project for the first time, does not occur.

[Josh]

0.9.6

• Added extra padding before and after a memory buffer. A magic number if written here. If a memory overwrite affects the block, these values will be modified and the error will be detected. (I did not detect any memory overwrites in the editor on my machine.)

[Josh]

0.9.6

• Fixed major memleak in editor that was caused by World::Update never getting called, so data was just piling up.

[Josh]

0.9.6

• Removed the padding bytes for buffer memory allocations, since they did not reveal any problems but could possibly cause problems without thorough testing.

[Josh]

0.9.6

• Fixed problem with grossly inefficient memory usage in mesh layer visibility data.

[Josh]

• Fixed slope constraints being ignored by foliage paint tool.
• Fixed slope constraints not being loaded from map files.

[Josh]

0.9.6, on the beta / dev branch:

• Generate imposter will now create an image for the metalness / roughness, in addition to color and normal.
• Imposter shader now using same lighting code and matches PBR shader very closely.

[Josh]

0.9.6

• Small shader adjustment. You will see the difference in the oak trees in the nature starter kit.

[Josh]

0.9.6

• Fixed mesh and LOD delete not working correctly in model editor.

[Josh]

0.9.6 (beta)

• Fixed a bug where new mesh layers were generating the same random seed.

[Josh]

0.9.7

• Fixed LoadPixmap / LoadTexture bug.
• Default directional shadow map size is now 1024x1024.
• Updated to latest Steamworks 1.60.
• Animation hooks are improved and will more reliably be triggered when they are supposed to.

[Josh]

0.9.7

• Steam timer update slowed down from 30 hz to once per second, since freezing issue seems resolved.
• Various fixes from the bug reports forum are implemented.
• Added missing ChangeDir command in Lua.
• Lua string documentation updated.

[Josh]

0.9.6

• Materials can now be dragged from the asset browser onto a model in the model editor.
• Asset browser will emit WIDGETDROP events for windows and interfaces an item is dragged onto.

[Josh]

0.9.7

• Various fixes, see bug reports forum for details.

[Josh]

0.9.7

• Added animation properties in model editor.
