Release Notes

[Josh]

0.9.8

• Face smooth groups are supported, in the editor only.
• Only faces on the same brush will be considered in the smoothing. Smooths do not yet work across multiple brushes.
• Smooth groups are currently incompatible with face bevels. I do not yet understand how these two features will interact.

[Josh]

0.9.8 (Editor only)

• Brush faces that have a number of sides other than four will now work with tessellation and edge bevels. I need to add some more polygons at the corners to eliminate the sharp transition in the normals.
• These faces do not currently have any internal subdivision, like quad faces do.

[Josh]

0.9.8

• Added extra polygons in corners of non-quad brush faces, to eliminate normals seam.

[Josh]

0.9.8

• Brush smooth groups are now implemented, on quad faces only.

[Josh]

0.9.8

• Bevels, smooth groups, and tessellation with brushes are just about finished now. The only thing missing is I need to add subdivision of non-quad faces to limit the maximum edge length.
• Bevels will override smooth groups. Each faces will use one or the other, or neither, but not both.
• Added a new editor mode that pops the asset browser out into the view panel.
• The left sidebar buttons have some wonky behavior that needs to be worked out. Don't worry about it for now.

[Josh]

0.9.8

• Full update.

[Josh]

It looks like scene loading with lots of brushes will probably be slower than normal in this build. I need to rethink how I am handling smooth groups...

[Josh]

0.9.8

• Meshes can now have up to four materials applied to them.

• AmbientCG.com extension now has a default saturation setting in the options that is applied to new materials that are downloaded.

Shader fix for Nvidia cards.

0.9.8

• Fixed brush geometry when bevel not used. You will need to perform some action to trigger a rebuild of existing brushes, but the full engine doesn't need to be updated right now since the meshes are stored in the scene file.
