Version 1.0.6

New features

General:

• Added grouping functionnalities in the documents tree views.
• Reworked the selection sets to be able to choose what is selectable by object type.
• Added manipulator gizmo position override with CTRL+RClick.
• New shadowing technique for the sun providing higher quality shadows around the focus point defined by camera manipulations.
• Added application version to document source files.
• Added an option to enable or disable the usage of LODs for prisms (disabled by default).
• Removed landmass documents.

Blueprints:

• Added user feedback when importing QGIS files with incorrect parsing attributes or ill-formed shapes.
• Added import of asc in wgs84.
• Added blueprint source item in lists and create groups in the scene from source data.

Cameras:

• Added smoothing of camera speeds when choosing timestamps manually, making it possible to create more subtle tracks with varying speeds.

Decals:

• Vegetation scaling can now be controlled by each decal area (no longer required to clone biomes and change the plants scaling factors).

Geometries:

• Removed manual sample edition of GI in the geoemtries.

Ground snapping:

• Removed the "automatic ground snap" functionnality in the geometry documents.
• Added a new "Ground Snap" button to snap the selected objects on the ground.
• Added a new "Ground Normal" button to align the selected objects against the ground.
• Added new snapping modes "Ground" and "Ground Normal".

Render batch:

• Render setup window has been split to viewport tab and batch tab.
• Improved render batch list usability.
• Added a button to play a preview of a camera in the batch, with all settings & sun direction applied.
• Added possibility to check/uncheck cameras from a render batch.

Solar field tool:

• Solar fields setups are now saved and can be restored.
• Materials can be shared between solar fields to save some GPU memory and disk space.
• Possibility to create solar panels with spacing between modules.
• Possibility to choose the concrete block size.

Waterbodies:

• Added a cut functionality on rivers to split a waterbody in two.

Bug fixes

General:

• Fixed issues on curves that have more than a 1000 points.
• Fixed having to do CTRL+Z twice to cancel a duplication using Shift+Translation.
• Fixed wrong thumbnail sizes when zooming.
• Fixed bug where documents in the thumbnails view could not be renamed.
• Fixed bug where folders could not be renamed.
• Fixed vulnerability with manipulator causing random crashes.
• Fixed crash when deleting a curve point in a scene containing a missing doc building.
• Fixed missing folder thumbnails when archiving a scene.
• Fixed UI bugs for scene GI allowing to set a random sun direction.
• Set correct default values for scaling XYZ input fields.

Cameras:

• Fixed bug on camera position being wrong when moving it with gizmos.
• Fixed remaining curve point gizmo in the viewport after deselection.

Clouds:

• Fixed crash when importing texture with non power of two resolution.

Decals:

• Fixed error on drag&droping a biome/soil in scene where there is an ill-formed Decal.

Geometries:

• Fixed a GI cache loading bug causing a broken geometry mesh.

Materials:

• Fixed missing thumbnails in material view when having a graph.

Waterbodies:

• Killed the reflexion pipeline when a waterbody in "exact reflection" is in draft mode.

Quality of life

General:

• Added undo/redo on sun direction and wind direction actions.
• Allowed drag of read-only properties holding documents.
• Added scene documents reload when importing an archive or downloading store assets.

Cities:

• Prevented X and Y axis rotations on building curves.
• Enabled drop of multiple buildings between cities.

Measure:

• Changed measure units according to distances.

Performance

General:

• Improved performances when manipulating geometries in the viewport.
• Improved loading time when there are several objects in the scene.
• Improved lag before cloning window appears.

Blueprint:

• Improved "Generating Buildings..." step performance during Blueprint generation.
• Added generation performance log file to help us monitor and improve the generation duration.

Cities:

• Enhanced "analyzing network" performances.

Migrating from v 1.0.5 to v 1.0.6.
