Releases: Overload-Technologies/Overload
Overload 1.6
This release primarily focuses on the addition of reflection probes to Overload, enabling environment reflection and refraction! It also includes improvements to the standard shader, such as support for emissive materials and a more robust shader architecture.
Fixes
- Fixed a crash when editing a material generated from a model (#563)
- Fixed picking pass to only draw when the scene view is hovered (#578)

Overload 1.5
Standard (Blinn-Phong) and StandardPBR (Physically-Based). The Blinn-Phong Standard shader has been removed and replaced with the Physically-Based one. Numerous visual improvements have been made, rendering the Blinn-Phong pipeline obsolete. The Lambert shader has also been removed.

Overload 1.4
Overload 1.4: Our Biggest Release Yet!
This "foundational update" brings major changes to core systems, setting the stage for even bigger, more meaningful improvements ahead.
