Wicked Engine · published · build 18730082

- 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 instead
- added capsule reflection effect (works when capsule shadow is enabled globally, but it will affect the specular light)
- pipeline state creation changed to not block rendering, instead rendering will be skipped for objects that have a pipeline that is not ready
- disabled pipeline state cache for Vulkan, as it turned out to be faster without in recent graphics drivers
- gui improvements: slider and combobox sub-elements now accounted for in the whole widget size, also tidied the editor gui
- shader compiler is using latest 2025 May release
- Template_Windows and Template_Linux projects were simplified to have a single entry point function and nothing else
