Technology Preview 2 : - Finalize Preetham's model usage => Update all fields when "auto from daytime" is selected => Apply model to atmosphere (aerial perspective) => Find a proper model for night sky (maybe Shirley) - InputInt doesn't honor small_step. - Keep skydome lights in cache for a render. - Disable form fields when no layer is selected. - Add buttons to restore "auto" default values in tabs and dialogs. - Replace zone ranges with curves (with curve input and curve dialog). - Interface for textures thickness, slope_range and thickness_transparency (and correct slider ranges). - Add "hardness to light" and shadow control ("minimum lighting") to material. - Render tab previews should not rerender when changing render options. - Add layer sorting/naming. - Add logarithmic sliders for some float values. - Improve previews. => Add a right click menu for toggles and modes => Add user markers on OSD - Add a zone editor dialog for localized textures. - Add a terrain modifier dialog with zones. - Use the curve editor in noise editor - Add a noise filler (and maybe noise intervals ?). - Fix the distorted sun appearance. - Improve curve editor. => Add curve modes => Add logarithmic mode => Add zoom and scrolling - Fix "RGB parameters out of range" (and segfault) on preview while moving render params fast in render tab. => May need to change the updateData system. => Previews need to be paused while updating data. - When there are two previews in the same view, balance rendering between the two. - Lock some previews together (eg: terrain height and colored preview). - Find a new licence. Technology Preview 3 : - Restore render progress. - Implement High Dynamic Range. - Implement Sub Surface Scattering for water. - Use bicubic interpolation for antialiasing. - Allow for larger renders/antialias (will need several two-pass chunks). - Add basic vegetation system ? - Texture shadowing and self-shadowing ? - Add a progress indicator on previews. - Multi threaded first pass. - Mark modified tabs and ask for losing modifications (idem for layers). - Fix potential holes in land rendering. - Progressive final render (increasing resolution, for second pass only). - Propose several backgrounds for water preview (grid, sinus...). - Water and terrain LOD moves with the camera, fix it like in the wanderer. - Improve 3d explorer => Restore LOD and intelligent poly count (and raise max tessellation) => Interrupt chunk rendering when quitting dialog => Don't display the water if it's below all ground => Try to overcome the near frustum cutting => Disable specular lighting (dependant on camera location) => Add toggles (for water...) => Max texture size should depend on GPU memory available - Interrupt preview chunk renderings that will be discarded at commit, or that are no more visible. Release Candidate : - Polish all features and UI. - More translations.
