Changelog

[2018.2 undecided]

Improvements

• Add stripper of shader variant when building a player. Save shader compile time.
• Disable per-object culling that was executed in C++ in HD whereas it was not used (Optimization)
• Enable texture streaming debugging (was not working before 2018.2)

Changed, Removals and deprecations

• Removed GlobalLightLoopSettings.maxPlanarReflectionProbes and instead use value of GlobalLightLoopSettings.planarReflectionProbeCacheSize

[2018.1 undecided]

Improvements

• Configure the volumetric lighting code path to be on by default
• Trigger a build exception when trying to build an unsupported platform
• Introduce the VolumetricLightingController component, which can (and should) be placed on the camera, and allows one to control the near and the far plane of the V-Buffer (volumetric "froxel" buffer) along with the depth distribution (from logarithmic to linear)

Changed, Removals and deprecations

• Remove Resource folder of PreIntegratedFGD and add the resource to RenderPipeline Asset
• Default number of planar reflection change from 4 to 2

Bug fixes

• Fix ConvertPhysicalLightIntensityToLightIntensity() function used when creating light from script to match HDLightEditor behavior
• Fix numerical issues with the default value of mean free path of volumetric fog
• Fix the bug preventing decals from coexisting with density volumes

[2018.1.0f2]

Improvements

• Screen Space Refraction projection model (Proxy raycasting, HiZ raymarching)
• Screen Space Refraction settings as volume component
• Added buffered frame history per camera
• Port Global Density Volumes to the Interpolation Volume System.
• Optimize ImportanceSampleLambert() to not require the tangent frame.
• Generalize SampleVBuffer() to handle different sampling and reconstruction methods.
• Improve the quality of volumetric lighting reprojection.
• Optimize Morton Order code in the Subsurface Scattering pass.
• Planar Reflection Probe support roughness (gaussian convolution of captured probe)
• Use an atlas instead of a texture array for cluster transparent decals
• Add a debug view to visualize the decal atlas
• Only store decal textures to atlas if decal is visible, debounce out of memory decal atlas warning.
• Add manipulator gizmo on decal to improve authoring workflow
• Add a minimal StackLit material (work in progress, this version can be used as template to add new material)

Changed, Removals and deprecations

• EnableShadowMask in FrameSettings (But shadowMaskSupport still disable by default)
• Forced Planar Probe update modes to (Realtime, Every Update, Mirror Camera)
• Removed Planar Probe mirror plane position and normal fields in inspector, always display mirror plane and normal gizmos
• Screen Space Refraction proxy model uses the proxy of the first environment light (Reflection probe/Planar probe) or the sky
• Moved RTHandle static methods to RTHandles
• Renamed RTHandle to RTHandleSystem.RTHandle
• Move code for PreIntegratedFDG (Lit.shader) into its dedicated folder to be share with other material
• Move code for LTCArea (Lit.shader) into its dedicated folder to be share with other material

Bug fixes

• Fix fog flags in scene view is now taken into account
• Fix sky in preview windows that were disappearing after a load of a new level
• Fix numerical issues in IntersectRayAABB().
• Fix alpha blending of volumetric lighting with transparent objects.
• Fix the near plane of the V-Buffer causing out-of-bounds look-ups in the clustered data structure.
• Depth and color pyramid are properly computed and sampled when the camera renders inside a viewport of a RTHandle.
• Fix decal atlas debug view to work correctly when shadow atlas view is also enabled
