v2.02
- Fixed Curvature border artefacts (when NOT using auto-tiling) = Default keWT blender file updated
- Also made the curvature offset-scaling larger, to avoid some potential tiling issues. This will add comp-time - but probably not very noticable
- Tip: If you have a heavily customized default you can append the 'CurvatureSmooth' node-group, replace the old one in the keWT Layer group
- Uncapped the height limit that was capped for some reason (or, now 99999 instead of 1!)
v2.01
- Manual updated: Now strongly recommend moving the keWT default blend file (to protect customization when updating, for instance)
- Fixed Isolate Pass (_orm Metallic) bug
- Updated Preview Object Menu UI (& now says "Update Preview Object" - if it already exists)
v2.0
- Complete rewrite of keWT : Too much to list here! (Please read the updated manual.
Some key updates:- keWT is now a Blender Extension (Blender 4.2+ required)
- Seamless Tiling (& "Layer2" feature for exceptions)
- "Preview Object" to 1-click create a preview plane+material for the output
- New (smoother) Curvature method
- Blender 4.4 (possibly since 4.2) compatibility issues:
- Fixed EEVEE Next support (EEVEE banding issues seems to be fixed/improved in Next!)
- Fixed Denoise node crash (updated Default keWT setup file)
v1.005
- Default Scene Updates:
- Added AO Denoise node - on when using Cycles: Improves quality & rendertime immensly
- Added Curvature & Edge Wear Outputs (Note: Simple sobel normal +/- AO: More 'realistic' even!)
- Renamed texture packing default suffix from ARM to ORM (same as in Godot Engine)
- Console output: Misc checks & tweaks
- Automated settings update: 'Apply Settings' no longer needed. (Naming still needs manual update!)
- Add common pow2 resolutions preset buttons (1K, 2K, 4K & 8K)
- Console Output: Added more specific AOV info per material + misc. printing tweaks.
- UI updated: Added a bit more category separation
- Documentation Updated
- Added support for converting simple "ID Materials" (no nodes or not even BSDF, like the ones in keKit)
- Replaced Light/Diffuse Color Pass with custom AOV Color Pass (to get material colors with *no shading*) - Older keWT scenes may need to be re-setup.
- Added Output Name warning for base name with ".001" ending (Does not work with frame padding removal)
- Updated keWT Setup Blend-file with Color changes. User modified Default .blend will probably need updating manually. (Remember to check the path in add-on prefs!)
- Console output has been reworked with more progress info. + Default Path is printed in console output (as a reminder).
- The (updated) manual is now the same as the online documentation (html only)
v1.0 - Release
