MicroVerse 1.7.27

- The latest Unity LTS broke shaders with pragmas in the includes, this works around that.

MicroVerse 1.7.23

- NEW: Expose new option for spline search quality

MicroVerse 1.7.20

- NEW: Trench on Spline Paths now allow for a curve to adjust the height of the trench

- Fix to copy paste stamp updating too often when selected in the editor

- Add warning to spline editor when layers are assigned but not used

- Shaders compatible with 2023.3

MicroVerse 1.7.19

- NEW: Paint Falloff Areas. These can be placed/sized in an area of the world and effect multiple stamps at once. Can be combined with the regular falloff areas of the stamps.

- NEW: Smoothing brush added to falloff painting system

- NEW: Added option to not update painting until mouse up

- NEW: Interface to have a script run when placing a stamp.

- NEW: Context menu to copy noise parameters to sibling detail stamps

- Fix: Fix errors in 2023.3a

MicroVerse 1.7.18

- NEW: Option to search all scenes for terrains instead of using the heriarchy or explicit list.

- NEW: Object Stamps now spawn objects in the scenes the terrains are in

- NEW: Content browser will stay in painting mode when using spline tools and holding shift

MicroVerse 1.7.17

- NEW: Noise previews in world and UI reworked to show values below 0 as blue, and values above 1 as red. A gamma slider will also let you adjust the shown range of the noise, which makes working with higher amplitudes more understandable

- NEW: Dialog for creating content colllections from the browser donated by Roland.

- NEW: Better icons for the content browser

- NEW: Higher quality normal geneeration used for texture filtering

- NEW: Added min/max option to stacked noise modifiers

- NEW/Fix: Tree Stamp Density and all noise functions are now sized independently of terrain size. Previously, a tree density of 4 would produce the same amount of tree's on a 1k terrain as a 2k terrain, meaning the density on the 2k sized terrain was 1/4th of the density on the 1k terrain. This produced inconsistent results when dragging presets from the content browser. This has now been fixed and all data is automatically revisioned.

- Fix: Unity backported their breakage of the HDRP pipeline to Unity 2021LTS, so the same fix was applied as to 2022 and shaders regenerated.

- Fix: Removed minimum grab distance from roads when working with smaller assets

- Fix: Height Stamp blend mode not working

MicroVerse 1.7.16

- NEW: You can now create content collections directly from the MicroVerse content browser

- Fix: Spline 'treat as area' hidden to prevent users from confusing it with spline areas

- Fix: Spline Renderer was caching high res sdf instead of the low res one, consuming excessive memory

MicroVerse 1.7.14

- Fix: spline area not updating when parameters change

MicroVerse 1.7.13

- NEW: Spline Path now has noise options for it's position and width, allowing you to add variation to the path without having to adjust the spline.

- NEW: Roads now copy tag from prefab objects when instantiating

- Fix: Fixed Spline Path rendering when set to iOS/Android targets

- Fix: Content browser only generates previews for actively viewed stamps

- Fix: various fixes to the road module

MicroVerse 1.7.10

- NEW: Flow mapping added to filtering types. Now in addition to common filters like height, slope, angle and curvature, you can use a flow filtering type. This type will cause a flow simulation to run on your terrain, allowing you to filter texturing and other things based on the results. This simulation is more expensive than other filters, but takes just 5ms on 16 1k terrains.

- NEW: Option to force vegetation to sync along with the sync back API

- Fix : Multiple optimizations to rendering on GPU/CPU side

- Fix: Several null references

- Fix: Falloff Override noise was not being applied correctly to sub stamps.

MicroVerse 1.7.9

- NEW: Height Area Effect Stamp. It basically acts like post processing for height fields, but as it's own area stamp. There are currently 4 effects- Terrace, Beach, Remap Curve, and Noise. You can place this like any other stamp, with falloff, etc, and it will effect the height maps below it with the effect. Beach, for instance, pulls the height maps near the stamp in height towards that height.

- Fix: Object stamp was leaving objects disabled when entering play mode with domain reload off

- Fix: Updated shaders to latest rendering abstractions for HDRP2022

MicroVerse 1.7.8

- NEW: Mask module can now output distance fields

- NEW: Ambient system can now use distance fields from mask module to create ambiance in an area. Can be used for things like lake sounds

MicroVerse 1.7.7

- NEW: Ability to adjust terrain size height for all terrains at once in MicroVerse options

- Fix: Ambient Spline Area calculations rewriten to fix issues in center of complex splines

- Fix: Several bounds fixes to more accurately calculate update areas

- Fix: better cleanup for detail stamps when canceled

MicroVerse 1.7.5

- NEW: Icon Gizmo system for picking stamps. Run occlusion in a job to be fast and not clutter up the scene like Unity gizmos

- NEW: Demo is now a 4x4 block of terrains and 4x larger

- NEW: New examples and signs in the demo scene

- NEW: Added water shader for demo scene

- Fix: Raster of terrains to Unity format now done in a compute shader and about 4x faster

- Fix: Added a warning to Clear Stamp when found on the same game object as a tree or detail stamp, as this causes issues with SDF usage.

- Fix: Issue where tree stamps could end up wrongly indexed when crossing terrains

- Fix: Fixed a few edge cases in the new stamp culling system

- Fix: Lots of general optimizations to CPU/GPU

- Fix: Much tighter culling bounds on stamps to increase performance

MicroVerse 1.7.3

- New syncback method for terrain heights correctly amortizes changes over frames rather than at once

- Significant speedup when changing small stamps on large numbers of terrains

MicroVerse 1.7.2

- NEW: Pixel Quantization for Copy Paste Stamp, making copies align perfectly with the original data. Can be turned off for when cp stamps are going to be scaled for better averaging of stamp data.

- Fix: Save proxy renderer settings

- Fix: DestroyImmediate instead of Destroy call when building

- Fix: Nullify instance when disabling MicroVerse

MicroVerse 1.7.1

- NEW: Massive optimization to spline->SDF conversion

- Fix: URP shader compile issue in 2021.3

- Fix: Use RGBAFloat for spline data to prevent stair stepping on non-mobile platforms. This is not ideal, Unity tries to emulate the target platform when it shouldn't since we're an editor, not runtime app.

MicroVerse 1.7.0

- NEW: When running with large numbers of terrains, edit bounds are calculate to reduce the number of terrains which need to be updated. 40ms->10ms in 64 terrain test scene.

- NEW: Setting to allow amortization of terrain heightmap "sneaky syncback". Default it 2 terrains per frame. 3000ms -> 240ms on 64 terrains.

- NEW: Culling option for terrain rendering - culls terrain based on view frustum and distance, as well as allows easy reduction of the scene views far clipping plane. This can reduce rendering cost allowing for better frame rates when editing large scenes.

- NEW: warning/fix button for height stamps set to single channel, which don't import correctly when set to iOS/Android.

- NEW: warning when using 4k terrains

- Fix: copy stamp issue with hole stamp

- Fix: detect when maxLOD is set and prevent render texture from being allocated in the wrong resolution

MicroVerse 1.6.21

- Fix to seam issue between terrains

- Fix to issue when saving holes from GPU to CPU

- Add warning when terrain autoconnection is turned off

MicroVerse 1.6.20

- NEW: You can now set the resulution of the internal spline SDF higher on inidividual splines, which can help when working with very thin paths.

- Fix: Scale/Offset for texture based weight noises not being applied correctly

- Fix: Memory buffer corruption issue when using a combination of tree splat/height mods with occlusion stamps and object stamps

- Fix: Do not regenerate the terrain on the first frame when loading a scene - Unity does not consider terrains to be neighbors until the second frame (what!?)

MicroVerse 1.6.15

- NEW: Hole Stamp added, allowing you to create holes with the stamp system

- NEW: Hole support added to copy paste stamp

- NEW: Falloff Override can now be toggled on/off

- Fix: Right click passes through when painting masks, allowing for camera adjustments while painting

- Fix : Painted mask would move with the UV offset of a height stamp

- Fix: Spline Area with a falloff override would not find the spline of the falloff override when computing bounds

- Fix: When rastering splat weights to the Unity terrain format, a weight of 0 was allowed, which could cause NaNs with Unity's terrain shader in HDRP producing a black screen. Now it detects 0 weight cases and uses the first texture with a weight of 0.25 instead of passing the 0 weight through.

MicroVerse 1.6.13

- NEW: Ability to create content presets by dragging prefabs into the content browser

- Fix: Memory leak in Spline SDF creation

MicroVerse - Splines
