Release Notes#

This minor release brings both code and submodules maintenance, several fixes in the toolchain, in the scenegraph and physics interchange and in the rendering pipeline.

Source code maintenance#

• Updated GLFW (3.3.6).
• Updated BGFX to the latest version.
• Updated OpenAL (v.1.6.10b).
• Updated OpenVR (v1.16.8).
• Fixed the debug build with Visual Studio Build Tools 2022.
• Fixed the installation of PDB files.
• CMake misc. fixes and updates.

Toolchain#

• FBX Importer: changed the unit of command line argument max smoothing angle to degrees and fixed the internal vertex/tangent computation.
• GLTF Importer: improved the way non-Windows-compliant filenames are handled.

Engine#

• Fixed an issue in the Wavefront OBJ export that flipped the model on the X axis.
• Improve the error message issued by OpenAssets in case of missing file.
• Fixed a crash when parsing a corrupted .HPS file.
• Added hg::Picture::SaveBC7 and hg::Picture::SaveBC6H functions.
• Switched to a time limit based resource queue processing
• Return the size on disk of a folder
• Implemented a ComputeNodeWorldMatrix to compute a node world matrix on the fly (ComputeWorld, GetWorld, SetWorld). ⚠️ This function is slow but useful when scene matrices are not yet up-to-date
• Improved the way unicode paths are handled on Windows
• Preliminary support for scene properties animation (AmbientColor, FogNear, FogFar, FogColor) while preserving the legacy file format.
• Add an LSSF_Silent scene flag, add many boolean flags to silence errors in the rendering IO.
• Allow 32 bit indices in geometries (In the future we might introduce a force 16 bit indice flag if required).
• Validate index and vertex buffer handles when creating geometries.
• Flag instantiated nodes as NF_InstanceDisabled if the host node is disabled.
• Added file filter descriptions to the file selector dialogs (OpenFileDialog, SaveFileDialog).

Rendering#

• Added a depth only pass to render shadow maps (DEPTH_ONLY=1).
• Set a higher probe resolution by default (from 64 to 512, using the --glossScale 20 --glossBias 0 parameters sent to CMFT).
• Load/save AAA config (LoadForwardPipelineAAAConfigFromFile, LoadForwardPipelineAAAConfigFromAssets, SaveForwardPipelineAAAConfigToFile)
• Tweaked the default light values (default_shadow_bias set to 0.0001, pssm_split of a the linear light set to 200m).
• Switched the jitter sequence to Halton (2,3).
• Added a function to retrieve the size of the OpenVR framebuffers
• Added a RGBA32 pixel format to improve the performance when playing a video stream.

Physics#

• Fixed an issue in synchronizing state from scene to kinematic body

Documentation#

• Added an explanation of why using integer representation for time is important.
• Documented the profiler API.
• Added a HARFANG logo in the Doxygen documentation

Screenshots#

The following screenshots were captured on a GTX 1080 in 1080P running at 60FPS, GI is performed using screen space raytracing and does not require RTX capable hardware.
