ChangeLog

Upcoming

  • [General] Submodules are now http, which should help for clining entire repository (ssh would fail on forks)
  • [Nodes] Added About (DX11), which contains version number, contributors and supporters information
  • [Nodes] Framedelay (2d and 3d) were not disposing resource when deleted from patch.
  • [Nodes] Framedelay (2d and 3d) now also start render graph (as part of update stage), and do not evaluate upstream anymore when disabled.
  • [Core] : New blend state presets (available in Blend and Renderstate nodes) : MultiplyAlpha (only multiplies alpha channel, leave color as it it), ReplaceAlpha (leave color and set new alpha), BlendDestination (uses alpha in the render target instead of pixel shader ouput as factor, for opacity masks).
  • [Nodes] Add EnableScissor (DX11.RenderState) : Allows to modify state to enable scissor, without touching the rest.
  • [Core] : All state nodes now use static enum instead of dynamic string based version, which increases performance for those nodes (no more lookup needed).
  • [Nodes] : Add DrawFullScreen (DX11.Layer) : as in title , a fast version instead of using module
  • [Nodes] Gesture (Kinect2.Microsoft) : Fix issue when rceiveing frame and no skeleton is reported (which could happen sporadically)

  • [Nodes] New node GetArray (DX11.TextureArray), allows "GetSpread" in texture arrays, contributed by @sebl
  • [Nodes] New node GetArray (DX11.TextureArray BinSize): same as above, but with bin size (allows combining), contributed by @sebl.
  • [Nodes] New node : AlphaToCoverage (DX11.RenderState) : allows to enable alpha to coverage for multisampling in an existing render state (without modifying other options)
  • [Nodes] New node : AlphaClip (DX11.Effect) : simple effect with texture that discards pixel if alpha is below a certain value
  • [Nodes] New node : DepthClip (DX11.RenderState) : allows to enable or disable depth clipping (near/far plane) in an existing render state (without modifying other options)
  • [Nodes] New node : Wireframe (DX11.RenderState) : allows to enable or disable wireframe in an existing render state (without modifying other options)

  • [Core] : Texture FX cache is now more efficient, no more penalty when switching techniques.
  • [Core] : Texture FX technique can now use a "wantmips" bool annotation, to build mips before the first pass (only if needed)
  • [Core] : Texture FX has a new option "Preserve On Disable" (spreadable), if Enabled pin is off, keeps previous frame texture instead of passing texture In.
  • [Nodes] : Info (DX11.Texture2d) no exception if a texture is null, returns same defaults
  • [Core] : New reference semantics (MIPLEVELSOF and INVMIPLEVELSOF) to allow to access input texture mip levels in effects (see girlpower\misc\referencing_miplevels for example)

1.2

1.0.0 (Release 06/02/2017)

Old provider are still there and working alongside but marked as obsolete (and will be removed in next release). Layer version could not run alongside and has been removed. This will need a recompile if a plugin is a custom layer node.
  • [Core] Effect pass can now have topology annotation, in order to force a shader to use a specific topology (This is particularily useful for point sprites (which expect points), or tesselation shaders (which expects a fix control point topology), and avoid to have user guess with topology node.
