Release notes version 0.1.3

Uv dynamic transformation

A new UV rotation angle is implemented in the UI:

This option rotate the UV from it center independently of the offset or the size applied to the UV. For a angle of 30 degrees, the result looks like:

In addition to the rotation option, these three values: size, offset and rotation are accessible from the BL_Texture, the material texture:

tex = material.textures[0]

tex.uvOffset = Vector((1, 8, -9))
tex.uvSize = Vector((5, 2, 5))
tex.uvRotation = pi

KX_GameObject layer

The render layer of the object are now exposed. These layer are used only for real-time cube map render and shadow render, not for regular viewport render. The layer value is accessible through:

KX_GameObject.layer

See also: KX_GameObject.layer

Real-time cube map lod update

The cube are now able to manage a lod update stage before their render. To avoid using the same lod quality than the viewport render, the real-time cube map use a custom lod distance factor. This factor is accessible at:

KX_CubeMap.lodDistanceFactor

See also: KX_CubeMap.lodDistanceFactor

Parallax minor improvements

Before the parallax was using a dynamic number of steps without control, this is replaced by a constant number of steps. In addition the parallax height is no longer dependent of the texture size.

Clean up and refactors

• Refactor and allow switching more than two lod levels. (see f9b99b2)
• Use wstring_convert instead of blender utf8 conversion function in SCA_KeyboardSensor::LogKeystrokes. (see 387b11d)
• Replace STR_String by std::string. (see 38cc2eb)
• Use names table for scene callbacks list. (see aa5758c)
• Cleanup GPG_Canvas.[h/cpp] KX_BlenderCanvas.[h/cpp]. (see 07b9671)
