1.2
1 year ago
General
Added a dependency manager that handles all parameter changes, buffers and previews to
avoid useless renders (myaaaaaaaaa helped hunting and fixing memory leaks on this).
Material export has been updated:
custom export targets can now be added to predefined Material nodes,
a new Export again menu item has been added to repeat the last export operation.
Unsaved projects are now rescued when Material Maker crashes and automatically reopened
at startup.
Nodes
Shader nodes can now be variadic, i.e. have a number of parameters, inputs and outputs that
are repeated. A new icon in the node titlebar shows the variadic aspect and can be used to
increase or decrease the number of occurences of those parameters and ports.
A few nodes have been updated accordingly, so Blend now supports several layers,
Transform can apply to several channels and workflow nodes can mix more raw materials.
A new Normal to Height node has been added.
Parameters have been added to the Image node to keep the image's aspect ratio (contributed
by myaaaaaaaaa).
New colorspace related nodes have been added, such as Colorspace Roundtrip that
make it possible to perform computations in other colorspaces (contributed
by myaaaaaaaaa).
The Fast Blur node now has high pass and sharpened outputs (contributed
by myaaaaaaaaa).
A snap operation has been added to Math nodes (contributed by williamchange).
The Blend node now has additional modes: Linear Light, Vivid Light, Pin Light, Hard Mix
and Exclusion (contributed by paddy-exe).
The interpolation code has been improved in the 3D FBM node (contributed by Arnklit).
The random color output of the Triangle Voronoi node, that did not always tile, depending
on the scale parameters, has been fixed (contributed by williamchange).
The Dilate node can now create (optionally) a non-tileable result.
Miscellaneous
An experimental HTML5 version has been added.
Although it has a lot of limitations, it is a good way of trying Material Maker without
installing it.
Self-connections of subgraphs are now allowed if they don't form a loop, and loop
detection has been optimized (contributed by myaaaaaaaaa).
The .mmg format (used for predefined nodes) has been modified to be more Version Control
System friendly (contributed by myaaaaaaaaa).
Fixes, optimizations
Files are now removed from the recent projects list when they fail to load (contributed by Arnklit).
The Comment node now selects correctly its children, regardless of the current zoom level (contributed
by Zhibade).
The alignment of inputs in the Uneven Bricks 2 node has been fixed (contributed by Arnklit).
Command line exporting has been fixed (contributed by myaaaaaaaaa).

General
Updated renderer to limit the size of rendering viewports (big textures are rendered in chunks and reassembled).
This can be used to avoid crashes on lower end GPU and/or when generating high resolution textures. The maximum
render size can be configured in the progress counter context menu.
Added GPU memory information near the progress counter, with a tooltip that shows the GPU interface name (this
can be used to know if Material Maker runs on the integrated graphics on a laptop).
In Graph views, added support for arrow keys to scroll in all directions (useful when connecting nodes that
are far from each other).
Buffer nodes and nodes that contain buffers are now shown with a specific icon. Right clicking that icon
show a context menu that can pause and resume the buffers (making it possible to disable useless rendering
of parts of the material).
The FPS counter, the GPU memory counter and the rendering progress bar have been moved to a status bar at
the bottom of the user interface.
Added a small icon in the status bar that shows the status of the clipboard (and if it can be pasted into
a graph view).
Started adding tips to the status bar.
Added an option for Tonemaps in the 3D Preview panel.
Added an option to overwrite existing material files (.tres for Godot engine, .mat and .meta for
Unity engine) when re-exporting materials.
Added Godot 4 export targets to all material types (contributed by Arnklit).
Nodes
Updated the EasySDF node with support for coloring (of albedo, roughness, metallic and emission channels)
and node parameters, and added more shapes and operators.
Added additional modes to Math node (contributed by williamchange).
Updated the Iteration Buffer with an autostop parameter. When set, the Iteration Buffer will stop iterating
as soon as 2 consecutive results are identical.
Added a Fill port type that is used as output of the Fill node (and nodes that generate fill information)
and input of the Fill companion nodes.
Removed the Iterations parameter from the Fill node, and added parameters to remove the edges and adjust
the generated bounding box.
Added a new Fill from colors node that generates fill information from the color islands in its input.
Updated the Beehive and Voronoi nodes to output Fill information instead of a random color.
Added Spiral Gradient node (contributed by Theaninova).
Added Diagonal Weave node (contributed by williamchange).
Added Triangle Voronoi node (contributed by williamchange).
