Last update of the year
2007-12-31
What's new:
- Intel Compiler 10.1 support for MS Windows builds.
- Screen-space ambient occlusion.
- ResourceEditor / Viewer can load animation from md5b and animb formats.
- Heavily improved Players: 2 frictions (min for moving and max for standing), new Offset matrix (for manual rotation of player's head) in addition to modelview one, added reference to controls (system ones by default).
- Correct work of PlayerSpectator and PlayerActor with arbitrary directions of Up vector, "turning" parameter is added to specify turning speed.
- Improved PlayerPersecutor, its "offset" renamed to "anchor".
- Improved controls, added dummy ones.
- A bunch of new Player samples.
- Safe Body transform without clearing speeds and contacts: setSafeTransform().
- Physics callbacks have 2 additional arguments now.
- Correct save/restore of all callbacks.
- engine.engine.* functions are renamed to engine.* in UnigineScript.
- Improved threads in UnigineScript: now they can be called with arguments and have their own scope, thus there can be a lot of them, working in parallel; "thread_create" function is replaced with "thread".
- New setFrameBone* and getFrameBone* functions, which don't call final blending of the animation.
- Small improvements of filesystem (reduced memory allocation count).
No Ambient Occlusion, a boring flat image:
Real-time Screen-Space Ambient Occlusion brings a lot of 3D look even for non-lit regions:
