Physics, stereo mode and history

Recent changes:

• Destroyable joints (maximal force and torque can be set independently).
• Saving of joints into world and prefab files.
• Damping in joints.
• Linear motors.
• Cone friction approximation instead of pyramid one.
• Independent linear and angular damping in particles (don't forget to replace "friction" by "linear_damping" in all particle nodes).
• Fixed tunneling bug in physics at low render FPS.
• Correct "slow motion" mode in physics.
• Play/Pause button in UnigineEditor (controls physics simulation).
• Visualizer improvements.
• Set of new functions: setWorldParent, addWorldChild and removeWorldChild, which preserve position of the object in the world space.
• Quaternions improvements: unary operations, operations with scalars.
• Saving of MeshDynamic geometry into world files.
• Maya 8.5 plugins.
• Fixed "force_no_shadows" bug with reflections.
• Bugfix of soft hardware shadows at ATI/Direct3D9.
• Deferred texture is available in the world_end pass and in postprocesses now.
• Auto detection of videocard capabilities in Direct3D9 and OpenGL.

Frustum has made funny stereo mode as a proof of concept (you need stereo glasses like ones using in cinema to view this screenshots):

This prototype effect works only under OpenGL/NVIDIA for the moment.

By the way, today is 2nd anniversary ofUnigine v0.3, our first commercial release (4 May, 2005). Here is some statistics about it:
