Hello Everyone,
I've been working on improving the visual quality for this release. Everything should look more in line with the environment, be more physically correct and feel a whole lot brighter.
As part of that, I also added a button to load a custom .HDR environment maps next to the standard four, and added a few more 1k CC0 files from the awesome HDRHAVEN site:
https://hdrihaven.com
I highly suggest that you go there and get some of the higher qualiky ones ( I'm posting a few pictures using their 4k files ) and if you like please support them, they do an excellent job.
Of couse you are free lo load any .HDR file you want as long as it is in lat/lon 2:1 aspect.
The simulated environments have not changed much, but the new lighting should make them more usable, particularly the sunset one.
The UI is now on the far Z plane, or in other words rotated 90 degrees from where it was. This is as a starting point to support other headsets which tend to look in that direction as the default. If you happen to have a Windows headset or an Oculus, please try it out.
As always, please post your comments on the forums.
Thanks,
F
