- | * Miscellaneous improvements and optimizations. | ||
- | * The Knald Demo now supports the full 1.1.0 feature set. | ||
- | * Updated to latest FBX standard. | ||
- | |||
- | ==== Bug Fixes ==== | ||

- | * Improved baking speed by by an average of 5%. | ||
- | * Added an option in the export tab to enable the saving of .ksf’s on user export. | ||
- | * Added various sanity checks to ensure HP/LP/Cage meshes exist when baking from a saved .ksf. | ||
- | * Updated tooltips. | ||

- | ===== Release v1.2.0 ===== | ||
- | |||
- | ==== New Features, Improvements and Optimizations ==== | ||
- | * Added support for Tangent & Object Space Bent Normal Maps in the Baker with various options to control occluder weighting (Cosine, Uniform Clamped & Uniform Unclamped) and how the magnitude is stored via normalization. | ||
- | * Improved the mesh loader to support mesh files with a triangle count of over 330 million. | ||
- | * Improved the mesh loader to support user adjustable bake balancing, which balances execution time between High Poly processing (import) and baking time based upon a slider value. | ||

- | * Added support for the reporting of various statistics for Height Maps in the Baker on (Min, Mid & Max for both normalized & unnormalized). | ||
- | * Add support for the display of high poly vertex & triangle counts in the status bar while the Baker is loaded.. | ||
- | * Updated .kpbr with new presets (Brass #2, Rhodium, Tin, Tungsten + Concrete 1+2). | ||
- | * Added an the option to use a cube primitive in the 3d preview . | ||
