v3.4.0

New Features

Rendering

  • Added orthographic projection support; LCC/LCC2/SOG/SPZ/PLY data all render correctly in orthographic views
  • Added a data coloration mode for point clouds that uses the true point colors; point clouds now support both elevation coloration and data coloration
  • Added adjustable spherical harmonics order: no SH, 1st, 2nd, or 3rd order

Data Loading

  • Added Load Volume to select only the data inside a specified region at load time
  • Added a runtime synchronous load option for the single-file SOG/SPZ/PLY formats
  • Single-file model capacity is no longer bound by the GPU memory budget, allowing much larger models

Editor

  • Added a Discord community entry to the panel footer

Improvements

  • Added Tiled rasterization (experimental), which can raise rendering performance; the gain depends on the scene
  • Significantly faster PLY file loading, cutting load time by about 85%
  • Clipping volume and section plane data is now read every frame, so a property or transform change takes effect automatically and Refresh no longer has to be called

Fixes

  • Fixed PLY models and collision files failing to load when packaged into a .pak
  • Fixed splat distortion at wide fields of view by switching to tangent plane projection
  • Fixed ProxyMesh not occluding other LCC2 Actors
  • Fixed elongated or sparse nodes forcing the highest LOD and causing frame rate drops
  • Fixed incorrect LOD calculation when the camera is inside a node's bounding box
