Tree It news & patch notes

Tree It 1.35 - Side/segment extrusion added. - Rework of normal/tangents calculations. - Position/rotate/scale transform widget now use floating point precision. - Started to rework some of the mesh system, compiling shaders for meshes are no longer required (faster loading). - Cacti Pack, joshua tree pack and desert shrubs pack added - Alpha Mask value added to options window. - Reset/restore settings added to options window. - Changed Twist trunk/branches, now works as an in-line twist.

Tree it 1.3 Sorry for the delay and there are quite few changes here, if you don't like them you can roll back to aug 22 via the beta branch. - Node tree added should make creating trees a bit easier, you can disable this by going options>interface to revert back to the existing method of tabs/layers. - Creation toolbar added on the left side this is where you now add new trunk/branch/leaf/mesh components (previously layers) as well as delete/duplicate/rename/show selected. - Additional trunk components can now be created. - Displacements now moved to the side panel under the texture group. - Leaf joints now shared with tree joints (trunk/branches). - Transform widget (position/scale/rotate) is now used when selecting a trunk component. - Dynamic sky with clouds. - Universal texture set window with support for additional textures such as metalness and AO texture maps added. - Texture browsers added makes it much faster to browse textures added to the textures folder. - knowed texture types will fill the texture set when base texture applied** - Branches can now have a separate texture assigned to them. - Space key + mouse click will insert a mesh at the cursors location. ** List of knowed texture extension for auto filling the texure set. alpha.xxx opacity.xxx _n.xxx nrm.xxx normal.xxx normaldx.xxx normal-dx.xxx normal4-ue.xxx normalmap.xxx _h.xxx height.xxx heightmap.xxx displacement.xxx metallic.xxx metal.xxx metalness.xxx _s.xxx roughness.xxx rough.xxx ao.xxx ambientocclusion.xxx ambient occlusion.xxx _t.xxx translucency.xxx transmission.xxx emission.xxx emissive.xxx

* Quantity for branches/leaves allows for the creation of more individual branches and leaf geometry. * Save/Load has been completely restructured with the added support for loading previous version .tre files. * Level of detail added allows to create up to 5 different LOD levels, these are generated and saved upon export. * Ambient occlusion reworked to calculate faster. * Branch layers can now be attached to other branch layers with a twig preset option when creating a new branch layer. * Ui elements are generated only when necessary instead of generating everything right on startup, the side panel can now also be resized.

* Joint selection influence added, when editing a joint the corresponding joints will also be altered allowing to create custom bends in your trunk/branches. * Texture previews are now downsized via the gpu instead of cpu, should make selecting/loading textures faster. * Trunk blend texture drop down combo boxes now show the correct texture type for roughness and normal maps. * Some changes were made to the way gravity and curvature values work, this might make you tree look slightly diffrent and may require re-tweaking some values. * Steam overlay was enabled, you can take screenshots in fullscreen by disabling the sidepanel and toolbar in view>window menu. * Deleting meshes should no longer cause a crash.
