Technology Preview 2 :
- Replace terrain canvas editor by full sculpting editor.
=> Add a generation dialog, with fixed resolution.
=> Store local terrain modifications in fully dynamic canvas.
=> Add map preview with editor area.
=> Allow camera move and zoom.
- Get rid of noise dialogs, for simpler settings.
- Finalize Bruneton's model
=> Fix artifacts on aerial perspective
=> Fix blue appearance at night
- Finalize lighting refactoring
=> Restore water and cloud filters
=> Restore cloud lighting
=> Restore and improve skydome lighting
- Apply Preetham's model usage
=> Convert to HDR rendering.
=> Apply model's aerial perspective.
- Find a proper model for night sky (maybe Shirley).
- Improve textures (current model is greatly incorrect).
=> Separate models (basic texture and covering texture).
=> Covering texture height should inpact terrain height.
=> Add texture shadowing.
- Clouds should keep distance to ground.
- Waves noise should not change layers offsets each time a setting is changed (layers are reconstructed currently).
- Fix rendering when inside a cloud layer, with other upper or lower layers.
- Improve cloud rendering precision (and beware of precision discontinuity when rendering clouds in front of ground (shorter distance)).
Technlogy Preview 3 :
- Fully move layer management from BaseForm to BaseFormLayer.
- Start vegetation system.
- Allow render saving in HDR compatible format.
- Add clouds to explorer with 3d textures.
- Add fresnel effect to specular lighting.
- Add "hardness to light" and shadow control ("minimum lighting") to material.
- Start using OpenCL to optimize rendering.
- Restore render progress.
- Rethink the quality settings and detail smoothing in the distance.
=> When quality setting is set to 10, add boost options
=> Add detail boost (adds granularity)
=> Add step boost (for marching algorithms)
- Add logarithmic sliders for some float values.
- Improve previews.
=> Add user markers on OSD.
=> Add areas marking.
- Add a noise automatic filler.
- Fix the distorted sun appearance.
- Lock some previews together (eg: terrain height and colored preview).
- Find a new licence.
Technology Preview 4 :
- Implement Sub Surface Scattering for water, textures and clouds.
- Implement earth curvature.
- Use bicubic interpolation for antialiasing.
- Allow for larger renders/antialias (will need several two-pass chunks).
- 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).
- 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)
=> Better handling of high altitude
=> 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.
