Version 1.0.4

New features

Annotation:

• New annotation document.

Blueprints:

• Removed useless UI parameters.
• Moved parking spots to road class.
• Removed edges requirement for sidewalks due to store changes.
• Added saltponds.
• Add to scene option is extended to all generated documents.
• Removed min densities and switch to density offsets.
• Added density offset when grid plantation is on.
• Detect aeroways and parkings from OSM and convert to Asphalt decal.
• "Stylesheet" vs "Template" uniformisation.

Cities:

• Separated road edges copy from other road geometries. Makes it easier to assign templates from the store (edges and guardrails for instance).
• Added controls to the density falloffs for roads.
• Changed numerical tolerancy for round capping network segments at joint areas in linear interpolation mode. This avoids the creation of near duplicate points that could occur otherwise.
• Added more UI choices for building floors.
• Added missing documents to city view to allow their destruction.
• Changed building folder name after a rename of a city. Keeps all city buildings into one single folder.

Geometries:

• Added ability to save and load animations in .red files.

Materials:

• Removed color variations (meshes and mesh prisms) that can't be properly supported on AMD and INTEL graphics.

Plants:

• Allowed grid planting to be sensitive to underlying density (for instance to carve paths or roads in grid decal areas).

Scripts:

• Added script sun direction accessor.

Terrain:

• Changed priorities in density control so that ground maps override decals.

UI:

• Improve the measure tool: undo/redo, cancel
• Closed floating widgets when exiting NDunes.

Bug fixes

Blueprint:

• Fixed generated parking spots without minimal length.
• Fixed possible mix up in templates on qgis classes when changing custom ids.
• Fixed toolbar not showing the correct actions depending on blueprint status.
• Fixed qgis conversion properties being resetted to default values when parsing qgis files again.

Cameras:

• Fixed bug where applying camera track does not hide camera gizmo.
• Fixed safe frames render in fly camera mode.

Cities:

• Fixed an error in tesselating decals causing loss in performances in complex crossings areas.
• Fixed wrong events and propagation after material changes in a city.
• Fixed network generation performances on complex crossings.
• Removed near duplicate points in buildings to avoid calculation errors causing crashes.
• Fixed a crash when exiting draft for a single building with materials used in material groups by other buildings still in draft.
• Fixed rename on buildings that did not prevent duplicate names.
• Fixed a network generation error caused by T junction bumps that modify edge profiles used for lofting, causing duplicate points that crash the lofting.
• Fixed a bug with sidewalks updates that could be missed.
• Fixed city ground map long calculation time that can result of wide ad-hoc crossings generated by the city network analysis.
• Fixed a renaming bug in lists of the city.
• Fixed a color randomness application bug when dropping a template.
• Fixed memory usage metric for cities.

General:

• Fixed crash when deleting documents (visible at exit).
• Fixed incorrect message in drag&drop conflict window.
• Fixed shader bug in selection ground box when FSAA is enabled.
• Fixed AMD rendering of curves and dynamic shapes GPU picking.
• Fixed shadow flicker on AMD.

Geometries:

• Fixed synchronization issue when multiple geometries shared the same animation.
• Fixed bug where geometries are not snapped on the terrain when dropping a scene.
• Fixed animations not working on AMD.

Materials:

• Fixed material selection bug in geometry/prism instances.

Plants:

• Fixed bug where plant ground AO was not visible after computing it.
• Fixed plant instances not updated in some particular cases.

Rendering:

• Fixed wrong frames at the beginning of camera track export.
• Fixed broken progress bar during video export.
• Fixed freeze when exporting camera animation during a play.
• Fixed bug where panorama were inverted.
• Blocked user input when rendering panorama.

Scenes:

• Fixed wrong saving of settings and tone mapping during recovery.
• Fixed tone mapping operator switching error.

Terrain:

• Fixed bug where a downloaded soil stayed disabled in the terrain.

UI:

• Fixed remaining values in the gizmo input widgets after changing the manipulator.
• Fixed "show empty folder" option not working on store folders.
• Fixed scene view refresh when entities are updated.

Waterbodies:

• Fixed waterbody material not updated after missing material download.

Quality of life

Camera:

• Added camera drag and drop in the render setup batch.
• Selection moved to the new point when creating a new camera curve point.

Cities:

• Changed material groups UI to allow switching materials easily.
• Showed store document colors in city view.
• Added lists with buildings in error.

Geometries:

• Canceled cache loading when a geometry has animation.
• Optimized multiple geometries or plants activation / deactivation.
• Added geometry animation loading progress bar.
• Avoided RAM peak when dropping multiple geometries in the viewport.
• Optimized geometry selection update.
• Sorted geometry animation tracks alphabetically.

Scripts:

• Improved script view UI.
• Added button to auto fill script with entity table.
• Made script animation errors non fatal.

UI:

• Optimized tree refresh duration.
• Improved performance of multiple objects from viewport or scene tree view.
• Optimized selection when the "show selected items only" button is pressed.

Migrating from a v 1.0.3 to v 1.0.4

Grid planting is now sensitive to underlying density. Keeping the grid planting like it was before requires to set the plant density to its maximum value.
