Changelog
🎁 Added
Runtime mesh morphs API - `Mesh.AddMorph()` lets you add morph targets (position and normal deltas) to meshes at runtime
Mesh to model dialog now shows options for configuring collision when converting meshes
Mirror tool can now be repositioned after placing, similar to the clipping tool
Bounding box snapping - bounding boxes now snap to grid by default
`ResourceWriter.AddExternalReference` for referencing external resources (e.g. materials from model resources)
Model inspector has useful info about meshes
`DragEvent` constructor is now public, allowing custom input systems to forward drag events through the UI pipeline. Thanks @dictateurfou!
Viewport background color is now customizable in editor preferences. Thanks @boxrocket6803!
Cursor page rework in project settings - now shows all system cursors you can override and auto-adds cursor images on upload
🧼 Improved
Audio system refactored with a lock-free triple-buffer threading model, eliminating previous crash-prone locking
Steam Audio effects compiled directly into the engine with AVX SIMD, roughly doubling spatial audio performance and removing the external DLL dependency
Physics queries no longer allocate heap memory for multi-result queries, using thread-local buffers instead
Physics callback virtual dispatch overhead eliminated by using concrete types and caching body type lookups
Rendering performance improved by removing redundant render attribute duplication, unnecessary performance trace scopes, and unused render pipeline stats
LOD clutter screen coverage now calculated per-model instead of per-tile for more consistent results
Media recording now captures at the end of the render pipeline, including overlays
VMDL writer now also saves the PHYS block when exporting models
Physics resource system modernized to use proper resource handling, enabling vphys resource previews
Steamworks SDK and steamclient updated to latest version, which should reduce network packet issues
Default video settings aligned between native and managed - MSAA now defaults to 4x (was 16x native), fullscreen defaults to borderless
Grass rendering looking super dark in places
Player display names now resolved locally, instead of by the host. Thanks @Matt9440!
Compile timeout raised from 60 to 120 seconds for large projects. Thanks @MrBrax!
Props now ignite their gibs when a burning prop breaks. Thanks @Xenthio!
Scene wheel zoom now treated as camera movement. Thanks @TheGWOO!
Dragged decal game objects now assigned proper names. Thanks @wheatleymf!
