[Josh]

0.9.8

• Changed the way scene groups are saved. This fixes the problem of copied objects not appearing in the same group as the original. I thought there was an open bug report for this but I cannot find it: https://www.ultraengine.com/community/forum/120-bug-reports/?filter=unsolved_topics
• Finished the appearance of the left-hand side bar.

• Removed mesh texture scale property.
• Added new tools in Model Editor tools menu.
• Model format updated to include vertex texture scale.
• Vertex layout modified. Shader update is required.

[Josh]

[Josh]

0.9.8

• Tessellation control shader now uses edge distance to camera instead of screenspace length to determine subdivision.
• Added material noise button in Face Panel. This can be used to add some variation to edges if you press it after the edge paint button.

[Josh]

0.9.8

• Shadow maps will now use tessellation in the editor.
• Added World::SetTessellation, for controlling shadow map renders.
• Camera::SetTessellation now acts as an optional override. Use NAN to fall back to the world tessellation setting.
• Only the editor is updated at this time.

[Josh]

0.9.8

• Tessellation control shader will now work correctly with orthographic projection, so shadow renders have a good subdivision level.

[Josh]

0.9.8

• Made some adjustments to the tessellation setting in the model / material editor window.
• At this point I believe the material painting and tessellation features for 0.9.8 are 100% finished.

• Added Show Colliders option in main menu.
• Added particle emitter get properties commands.
• Fixed some bad behavior of the grid/angle snap buttons and menu items.
• Full update.

[Josh]

0.9.8

• Projects are now generated with a unique identifier. If a project is lacking a UUID a new one will be generated.
• User project settings such as recent files and current directory are now stored in another location, outside of the project folder. This will prevent the ultra.json file from being continuously updated and getting out of sync between different computers.

[Josh]

0.9.8

• If only one object is selected, the rotate toolbar buttons will rotate around the object pivot, instead of the selection bounds center.

[Josh]

0.9.8

• Fixed two unreported bugs I found.

[Josh]

0.9.8

• Environment probe textures are now stored in sRGB color space. GI must be rebuilt on existing maps.
• World settings dialog now has a per-scene setting for GI transmission. This can be used to control how much the light propagates when GI is calculated. Use this instead of modifying probe colors.
• Specular / diffuse probe textures are reduced in size to 256/128. I couldn't tell any difference, but it will reduce your scene file sizes by 75%.

[Josh]

0.9.8

• Bug fix update.
• Added "Remove Skeleton" menu item in model editor.
• RenderStats.shadows will now return the correct number.
• Added RenderStats.lights.

[Josh]

0.9.8

• A Create menu and mouse tools are added in the main menu, so you can use the editor without the toolbar if you wish.
• Various bug fixes.
