Big thanks to you guys for your continued support of Pixel-Perfect Fog of War.

Your reviews and feedback makes it possible for me to provide new feature and performance oriented updates!

3.0.0 - Major overhaul and optimization update

New Features/Content:

Occlusion is now optional on revealers. Disabling occlusion can allow for tens of thousands of revealers with minimal performance cost
Hiders can now be revealed by sampling texture storage fog
The Inner-Edge soften angle can now be configured per-revealer
The Un-Obscured Softening distance can now be configured per-revealer
New Fog Of War World Update Method: Start in Update, Finish in Late Update. This gives the c# job for the first iteration longer to complete on its own
Made gradually reveal fader in/out separate options when using Fog Regrow/Memory
You can now set the global Fog Strength (FogOfWarWorld.SetFowEffectStrength())
New api to subscribe to when a revealer sees or loses sight of a hider
2 new demo scenes

Demo 08: 1,000 revealers + 1000 hiders (large scale RTS occlusion quality)
Demo 09: 10,000 revealers (no occlusion)

Inspector Cleanup:

Categorized Revealer inspector
Categorized Revealer inspector
Renamed "Allow Bleeding" to "Add Slight Arc Leaking". Also made it work with soft fog
Renamed hider sample options on revealer for clarity

Optimizations:

Complete rewrite of the shader logic has lead to significantly optimized gpu performance
New Spatial Hash Grid sampling system!

Allows tens of thousands of revealers with minimal gpu impact
Hiders are significantly faster

Optimized 3D revealers projection math
Optimize gpu bandwidth

Only changed revealer info is uploaded to the fog shader
Reduced total amount of data needed on gpu

Optimized job scheduling for revealers
Optimized revealer calculations
Cache more repeated revealer calculations
Significantly reduce memory size of fog texture
