- added rectangle light type with texture support for visualizer, diffuse and specular components - videos can now be used as mask texture for spot and rectangle lights - videos can now be used on Sprites, to replace sprite texture with video - added camera feed support for lights (use a camera feed as light mask texture) - shadow mapping changed back to not use dithering, but more samples inst…
- video decoder now works also with DX12 (previously only Vulkan was working) - added spline components - added mesh generation from splines (roads, pipes) - added terrain modification using splines - added physics constraint components - added character type for rigid body physics component - added feet to ragdolls - rendering optimization that greatly reduces the indexbuffer binding API calls
- added height field physics shape type - added support for file drag and drop in the Linux version of the editor - added light color mask texture support (used by setting MaterialComponent to a light, takes the base color texture slot) - added CameraComponent render textures that are useable for MaterialComponent basecolor and emissive texture - RenderPath2D stencil upscaling: compositing sten…
This release adds stability fixes for Linux, specifically for Nvidia GPUs, and some smaller fixes. If you experienced freezing on Linux, this release is aimed to fix that.
- added vehicle physics - added water ripple placement for physics objects which collide with the ocean - ragdolls will automatically have GPU colliders now for particle system collision - added ambient occlusion capsule shadows, which are automatically created from ragdolls - DDGI and Surfel GI overall quality and performance improvements - trail renderer: added continuous fading functionality…
- new material shader type: interior mapping (display a cubemap interior projection on mesh surface) - added support for compressed scene files - embedded shaders will use compression, reducing final executable size - lightmap baking will use conservative rasterization if GPU supports it to improve quality and reduce light leaks - improved logging, and changed log output to be in the working di…
- improvements to texture streaming - ray traced shadow: supports "receiveshadow" setting, cloak effect can decrease shadow opacity - improvements to underwater effect when camera is partially under ocean water - added lua functions: IsThisEditor(), ReturnToEditor(), IsThisDebugBuild() - added HDR calibration value that only effects HDR display output - fixes and optimizations
- ray traced shadow casting can be disabled per particle system - fix for rain, it will no longer appear under the ocean - added input helpers to check gamepad analog sticks, triggers and mouse with the same function as button presses - added cursor image loading to customize mouse pointer - fix for the scene intersection checks: when double sided property is specified through the material (opp…
- added manual, you can access it from the Wicked Engine Steam page -> Additional Content -> Manual - added coplanar blending mode: draw coplanar transparent material in opaque pass - added skinned mesh decal baking - hair particle sprite sheet supports rects in any size, added easy sprite rect selector to editor - added orthographic camera mode - terrain grass will be generated on more distant…
- added CharacterComponent, an optimized C++ implementation of the character movement, collision, fott placement, path finding logic combined. The character controller script was rewritten to use it instead of implementing it all in Lua - added new shader effects: cloak (discolored transmission), chromatic aberration, desaturation - added voxel grid to mesh feature: useful for creating simplifi…
Changelog since last release: - added wetness maps feature: grass and objects can become wet when they get under the ocean water or if rain falls on them - added buoyancy physics for ocean - visual improvements for ocean and water mesh: extinction and light scattering - visual improvement for the rain effect - made shadow maps nicer looking - Editor: multiselection edit added for many things, s…
