Added:

  • New shader-based lighting and shadow systems added to Ardor3D (requires glsl 4)
    • Supports spotlight, directional and point lights.
    • Includes new examples SpotLightExample, DirectionalLightExample, PointLightExample
    • Ambient lighting values are now part of the scenegraph
  • Added additional subdivision methods and injection of stop logic to TrianfleSubdivisionUtil
  • Added for injection of an Authenticator for URLResourceSource and the HttpImageCache
  • Ability to read the contents of a texture back from the graphics card.
  • Added access to the last frame time in Timer
  • Added new HashUtil and EqualsUtil classes in ardor3d-math and standardized use of these across math classes.
  • Added accessor for Camera axes as Matrix3
  • Added support for Texture arrays, including Rendering to Texture
  • New lookAt method added to Spatial
  • Terrain geometry can now be updated in real-time - see new example UpdatingTerrainExample
  • New UICompassExample to show off RectLayout

Fixed:

  • Fixed SWT Return key encoding
  • Order of magnitude improvement to TriangleSubdivisionUtil
  • Support added for some mouse movement during clicking to improve accessibility
  • BMText text scaling improved
  • Line rendering: Corrected winding on anti-aliased lines to have the correct facing of polygons.
  • Line rendering: Updated geometry shader to clip lines that extend behind the viewer to avoid some nasty artifacts.
  • Line rendering: Improved line clamping to view plane
  • Line rendering: Scrolling texture support
  • AWTImageLoader now handles more image data types - float, int, short, byte
  • Matrix4.toMatrix3 now returns the matrix and handles store in the same way as the rest of the math library

Changed:

  • Updated junit to 4.13.2
  • Updated org.easymock to 4.3
  • Now using maven central for lwjglx-swt dependency.
  • MathUtils moved to new package com.ardor3d.math.util
  • Removed class FastMath
  • Math isValid static methods renamed to isFinite to better clarify their function
  • Cone constructor params changed to double to match other shapes
  • Standardized buffer order when storing values Camera and renderer MVP matrices
  • toMatrix/fromMatrix methods now force specifying rowMajor to avoid confusion.
  • Allow set title for GLFWCanvas before init and show
  • Lighting:
    • Lights are now derived from Spatial, meaning they exist directly in the Scenegraph and can move and rotate accordingly.
    • LightState is no more. Lights are gathered by a SceneIndexer and managed by a LightManager in the indexer.
    • Lights no longer have an ambient or specular color - diffuse is now just color and intensity
    • The phong light shader is updated to work with the lighting changes.
