MicroSplat 3.9.29

- Fix to some syncing issues with MicroVerse

- Fix to issue that was leaking materials

- Fix for derivative issue in decal rendering

- Fix compile error in trax

MicroSplat 3.9.7

- Streams now tintable

- Fix to procedural texturing sample stripping on windows

- Fix to trax tessellation displacement when using only snow tracks

- Documentation buttons readded to every module

MicroSplat 3.9.4

- Fix to compile error in stochastic per texture property

- Use of Object.GetHashCode updated to reflect changes unity is making in 2021.2

- Enforce that the propData object assigned to the terrain is the same as the one the material will find. This means you cannot have separate prop data objects for 2 terrains sharing the same material, but it's less likely to cause issues when people don't read the docs and start renaming stuff left and right.

- When changing the shrink source textures option back to unchanged, textures are resized back to normal

MicroSplat 3.9.0

- Massive refactoring of internal use of texture samplers. A total of 20 samplers were removed from the system, and I don't think it's possible to exceed the hardware sampler limit (16) anymore. Unfortunately this required bumping the major version, since it affects almost every module.

- (internal cleanup) Removed surface shader legacy cruft, mostly using modern declarations and sampling conventions now.

- Fixed a few places where textures were being wrapped instead of clamped, causing potential seems between terrains

- Texture Selection Displays now shows overriden layer name when layer is overridden in Texture Array Config

MicroSplat 3.8.0

PLEASE DELETE THE CURRENT VERSION OF MICROSPLAT BEFORE INSTALLING

- MicroSplat now delivered as a Package instead of as an asset. This means that it can be found in your Packages folder.

- Examples are no longer imported as part of the module. Instead, you can install them by selecting the module in the Package Manager and unpacking the sample you want to try.

- MicroSplat now uses assembly definition files. If your code uses assembly definitions, you will have to create appropriate references to MicroSplat. Note that all modules use assembly references to inject themselves into the main MicroSplat assembly definitions, so you do not have to account for module usage.

- Note that due to the new assembly definition files, some 3rd party assets will need to be updated to work with MicroSplat again. If you are using lots of third party integrations, you may want to wait to update until they have been updated as well.

- The minimum Unity version for new MicroSplat development is now 2019.4, previous versions are still available for 2017+.

- The Ultimate Bundle can now be downloaded as a single download instead of as separate modules!

MicroSplat 3.791

- Fix to derivative outline on Alpha Clipped decals

MicroSplat 3.7901

- Fix to compile error when using displacement on decals

MicroSplat 3.7

The entire system has been rewritten to run off the Better Shaders framework. This is a pretty massive change that fixes many slight differences and bugs between the various render pipelines, making it much easier to fix issues across all the pipelines at once.

Note that Unity's Package Manager is completely broken in most versions of Unity, will show that it has the latest version, but instead install older versions. To fix this, please delete the asset store cache before downloading any assets, otherwise you will most likely not get the latest version.

- Fix to decals not always being updating when moved

MicroSplat 3.6

**MANUAL UPDATE STEPS MAY BE REQUIRED**

If you are using terrain blending, dynamic streams/lava, Mesh Terrains, or per-pixel normal, you will need to update the terrain descriptor by clicking Update on the MicroSplatTerrain component next to the terrain descriptor.

- HDRP now supports tessellation

- HDRP now supports Vertex Mesh Workflows

- HDRP now supports Digger Integration

- Option to use Surface Gradient framework for normals instead of traditional normal blending

- The terrain descriptor is no more, all hail the terrain descriptor. The terrain descriptor is now a world space normal map, reducing its memory use in half from the previous format. It also now doubles as the per-pixel normal map, saving you more memory if you were using it as well. The height map is now read directly from the terrain, as it is available in both instanced and non-instanced modes.

- Per Pixel normal maps are now stored in the same format Unity uses, so that the code which samples them does not care if they come from Instancing or are manually generated. Unfortunately there is an issue in Unity in that grabbing the instanced normal map and trying to use it doesn't work until the second frame, if this becomes possible to fix, a terrain descriptor won't be necessary when instancing is enabled.

- Terrain Blending can now work over Mesh Workflow meshes which use the Combined or Splat modes

- Mesh Terrains now create a per-pixel normal map texture automatically when Draw Instanced is enabled on the terrain, to better match the original terrain.

- Mesh Terrains also serialize out a special height map texture when dynamic lava or streams is used on them.

- Vertex Painted meshes can use tessellation in URP and HDRP

- Biome and Tint masks are no longer autogenerated by the Terrain Painting system when they are not found on the component. This would create issues when a user assigned a tint map to the material (but not the component) and the terrain painting system would suddenly create a new tint map for them and assign it as an override. Now you have to press a button to create one.

- Custom texture importer for HDR texture types, can be used to serialize in/out native textures without going through Unity's broken EXR pipeline (which gamma corrects linear textures)

- Mesh Terrains now set proper shader types when using the generate separate shader option

- URP/HDRP properly detected again when converting terrains

- Fix to SRP batcher compatibility

- Fix to normals in HDRP when using triplanar texturing

- Fix to stereo VR rendering in URP when tessellation is enabled

- Fix to polaris module to make multi-terrain workflow better.

- Many small fixes, optimizations, and code cleanups
