Mostly a feature parity update to remain feature compatible with upstream. The changes are included upstream in the MCprep 3.4.2 release notes, but the gist is the following:

  • Fixing issues with effects dissapearing
  • Reducing human error with textureswap on incorrectly exported OBJs
  • Added the option to prep materials without emission
  • Made Sync materials simpler to use
  • Utilizing the new C++ OBJ importer in Blender (only starting with Blender 3.5) for massive performance improvements
  • Quality of life changes
  • etc

Many Kaion features were merged upstream:

  • Emission Option for Prep
  • Inspecting OBJ to determine compatibility with texture swap and animate
  • Using the new C++ OBJ importer in Blender 3.5 and
  • MTL conversion for non-standard colorspaces

Of course what is a Kaion update without unique features? This update returns the edited skies (I forgot to include them in the previous releases) but this time with actual smooth transitions for the sun and moon brightness.

  • One downside is that the driver functions are in the MCprep addon itself, so they will not work on computers that don't have MCprep installed. There is a fixed planned though
