  • New StandardRenderingPipeline effect to support screen space lens flare and depth of field. Demo - (Julien Moreau-Mathis)
  • New HighlightLayer object to enable highlights rendering. Demo - (sebavan)
  • Babylon.js now supports right handed system with scene.useRightHandedSystem = true (deltakosh)
  • Babylon.js is now compiled with optimize-js to get faster initial load (deltakosh)
  • New BoneIKController Demo (abow)
  • New BoneLookController Demo (abow)
  • You can now build your own version of babylon.js with gulp build-custom Doc (deltakosh)

Updates

  • Added node.doNotSerialize to prevent specific nodes to be serialized by SceneSerializer (deltakosh)
  • Added scene.multiPick and scene.multiPickWithRay to return an array of pickedMesh objects (deltakosh)
  • Added Effect.GetVertexShaderSource() and Effect.GetFragmentShaderSource() (deltakosh)
  • New Texture.LoadFromDataString() to help loading base64 encoded textures (deltakosh)
  • Added Engine detection of the compresed texture formats supported by Hw / browser. You can specify those formats you have files for using Engine.setTextureFormatToUse(), and an appropriate one will be chosen. (Palmer-JC)
  • Added Ray.intersectsMesh, Ray.show, Ray.hide (abow)
  • Added AbstractMesh.setPivotPoint, AbstractMesh.getPivotPoint, AbstractMesh.getAbsolutePivotPoint (abow)
  • Added Debug.AxesViewer and Debug.BoneAxesViewer (abow)
  • Added Bone.getAbsolutePositionFromLocal and getLocalPositionFromAbsolute (abow)
  • Added Bone.setRotation, Bone.getRotation, Bone.setRotationQuaternion, Bone.getRotationQuaternion (abow)
  • Added Bone.getAbsolutePosition and Bone.getAbsolutePositionToRef (abow)
  • Added Bone.translate, Bone.setPosition, Bone.setAbsolutePosition (abow)
  • Added Bone.setYawPitchRoll, Bone.setRotationMatrix, Bone.setScale, Bone.setAxisAngle (abow)
  • Added Bone.rotate (abow)
  • Added Bone.scale (abow)
  • Added Camera.getDirection, AbstractMesh.getDirection, Bone.getDirection (abow)
  • Added subdivisionsX, subdivisionsY option to GroundMesh (abow)
  • New Tools.CreateScreenshot function will capture all canvas data. Previous implementation is now called CreateScreenshotUsingRenderTarget (deltakosh)
  • Cube textures are now cached by texture cache (deltakosh)
  • Added onAnimationEnd callback for sprite.playAnimation (deltakosh)
  • Added support for non square textures for sprites (deltakosh)
  • Added support for texture arrays (deltakosh)
  • Added camera.isInFrustum and camera.isCompletelyInFrustum. Can be used with meshes, submeshes and boundingInfo (deltakosh)
  • Several memory allocation reduction (benaadams)
  • Several GPU state change reduction (benaadams)
  • MapTexture: add supersample mode to double font quality. (nockawa)
  • New SPS feature : solid particle intersection with other solid particle or with any mesh particle.intersectsMesh() (jerome)
  • New invertUV parameter an all ribbon based shapes : ribbon, tube, lathe, basic and custom extrusion (jerome)
  • Text2D: new fontSuperSample setting to use high quality font (nockawa)
  • PerfCounter class added to monitor time/counter and expose min/max/average/lastSecondAverage/current metrics. Updated engine/scene current counter to use this class, exposing new properties as well to access the PerfCounter object (nockawa)
  • Better keyboard event handling which is now done at canvas level and not at window level (deltakosh)
  • New scene.hoverCursor property to define a custom cursor when moving mouse over meshes (deltakosh)
  • WebVR Camera was updated to be conform with the current specs. (RaananW)
  • New "CubeTextureTask" function will allow you to load a CubeTexture in the assetsManager. (agallouin)
  • Scene.stopAnimation has now an optional second parameter, the name of the animation to kill. Usefull if a mesh has multiple animations. (agallouin)

  • Fixed issue with FreeCamera not working in fullscreen or when pointer locked (abow)
  • MapTexture: Font Characters are now correctly aligned on Chrome (nockawa)
  • Fixed some missing parameter default values in MeshBuilder.CreateGroundFromHeightMap() and MeshBuilder.CreateTiledGround() (jerome)
  • Fixed cross vector calculation in _computeHeightQuads() that affected all the GroundMesh.getHeightAtCoordinates() and GroundMesh.getNormalAtCoordinates() methods (jerome)
  • Fixed Mesh.CreateDashedLines() missing instance parameter on update (jerome)
  • Added BBox update on each ribbon based shape (ribbon, tube, extrusion, etc) on dynamic updates (jerome)
