Version 1.0.3

New features

Blueprints:

• Added a bound cutting function to cut blueprint elements to the boundaries of the global blueprint area.
• Support French BDDTOPO "Plans d'Eau" for complete French IGN alternative.

Cities:

• Optimized city ground calculations when switching on / off draft mode: the ground is no longer recalculated, therefore saving time.
• Reworked the road surface markings display system, now using the "Decal" material flag to remove visual flickering that could occur otherwise.
• Added a "Decal" type of road surface markings, that can be used to break asphalt texture patterns on roads and make them more realistic.
• Enhanced pedestrian crossing automatic placement: these are automatically positioned and no longer require road points.
• Added UV scaling to control materials applied to roadway and markings.
• Improved event handling to reduce the burden of city updates after changes.

Decals:

• Add rename option for decal in decal area toolbar.
• Add a "copy no curve" function to copy a decal with its properties without its curve.

General:

• New grid management toolbar to allow grid placement and scaling.
• New information panels when archiving a scene that contains store or external resources.

Rendering:

• Added progress bar during video encoding.
• Updated camera view (altitude, play button, hide gizmo).

UI:

• Added remove / delete action on group tree items.
• Improved tree views refresh performance.
• Displayed selected element in the status bar.

Bug fixes

Blueprint:

• Fix bug when export bounds are not initialized when using QGIS files and no OSM.
• Generate decals with "use soil densities" checked only if the soil has some density masks setup.
• Fix density offset not being applied when same value is set for min and max.
• Generate vines/poplar trees in grid plantation decals.
• Fixed the missing tonemapping and settings docs destruction when deleting a generated scene.

Cities:

• Fixed a bug in the calculation of the number of gable floors.
• Fixed a city loading bug where road straight interpolation mode wasn't properly restored.
• Fixed city ground holes visible at roads endings.
• Fixed a building curve points translation issue due to intermediate transform recenter.
• Fixed a bug where a geometry could not be used both in a road and in a fence.
• Fixed a network calculation bug when mixing roads and roads without meshes in a crossing.

Clouds covers:

• Fixed a crash when using undo/redo on clouds covers.
• Fixed clouds cover not appearing when activated.
• Fixed a bug with clouds cover instances visibility after deletion undo.

Decals:

• Fix straight path inconsistent when width is very small.

Overlay:

• Fixed the overlay display that wasn't working with FSAA enabled.
• Fixed the overlay view for images with a source alpha.

Rendering:

• Fixed a bug where the sun direction was reset after a render.

Scenes:

• Fixed a failure when deleting a document from the viewport when there is a missing geometry in the scene.

Terrain:

• Fixed a terrain management crash on a specific update sequence (change soil, delete soil, global undo).
• Removed snow underwater.
• Fixed a crash on terrain manipulation due to the snow octave not properly cleaned.

UI:

• Removed redundant messages when removing instances of the same document from a scene.
• Fixed a missing tree refresh issue after downloading documents from the store.
• Removed annoying clouds cover picking when combo box is "Select All".

Waterbodies:

• Fixed a crash with draft waterbodies that could occur after some manipulations.
• Fix a draft mode desynchronisation between geometry and scene.
• Fix curve point addition to the closest segment when snap is activated.

Migrating from a v 1.0.2 to v 1.0.3

Cities that have roads with surface markings will exhibit some flickering artifacts on the markings. This can be easily fixed by opening the surface marking material (lane or surface material) and by checking the "Decal" box in the realistic material panel properties. This is detailed here: The realistic material

Note that after modifying the "Decal" material property, the city must be recalculated for changes to take effect.
