Changelog

v 1.71 (current)

Bug Fixes:

  • Bugs fixed in debug mode when the "Simple" workflow is selected

v 1.70

Added features:

  • During quick editing, the volumes that are visible in the editor camera are recalculated first (prioritized view)

  • Scene GUI for adding/removing objects that bound the scene from below (Tools -> Magic Light Probes -> Scene GUI)

Bug Fixes:

  • Fixed a bug in the inspector of the "MLP Quick Editing" component, which did not allow it to display correctly

  • Compute shaders do not work on OpenGL < 4.3 for Windows and Linux. For macOS only Metal Render is supported. Software verification added

  • A method has been found in the search code for probes located below ground/floor that slows down the system if there are many objects on the scene.

  • Errors in the "MLP Quick Editing" component - index out of range

  • The wrong plugin’s work path makes it impossible to work system correctly
