4.5.9

• Babylon.js 7.35.0

4.5.8

• Babylon.js 7.33.0
• Three-mesh-bvh 0.8.3
• Add more features to Minimal UIX (snapshot, camera and 3D workplane)
• Add a fallback when WebGPU is disabled in the browser
• Fix WebGPU PBR wireframe (wireframe + mesh.renderOutline conflict bug)
• The Reset panel button only resets the menu position (in detach state)
• The startup background was removed (readme: "no loading screens")

4.5.7

• General uix improvement
• Memory and startup time improvement
• Faster and better GPU Probe (WebGPU compatible)
• WebGPU is available for supported devices in Preferences menu
• Fix symmetry and bridge-tool out of bounds error in large scenes

Unsafe WebGPU support

WebGPU has been successfully tested on Chrome stable (Linux)

• Electron is not supported (start with "node server.js" for local access)
• Babylon downloads extra scripts, so it doesn't work offline, or without VPN
  - The WASM binaries are not available offline for security
• Known Issues:
  - Drawing randomly fails and rotate the camera (unknown issue, rapid strokes)
  - Wireframe webgpu warnings, effect: invisible meshes (PBR menu)
  - Chrome tab may behave strangely and not refresh the page on F5 (mem leak)
  - Wacom known issue: this bug has become a breaking webgpu warning
• Using WebGPU for production is not recommended Implementation Status

4.5.6

• Babylon 7.32.0
• Three r170
• Fill mesh buffers at build time in a web worker
• Fix neutral picks by dodging more pixels
  • Smooth picking at long distances
• New method for "Rect Add" tool (reading pixels instead of BVH raycast)
  • Many times faster, no additional latency
• Memory management and flushing
• The new logo was created using Inkscape
  • Great and easy to use for vector graphics on Linux

Rectangle tools are strongly dependent on the camera (best in orthographic)

4.5.5

• New "Bridge" tool, make a bridge between two parallel voxels
• The status bar shows re-build latency in milliseconds next to FPS
• Fix symmetry pivot helper not return to local space after set to world
• Fix unable to pick some voxels after deleting them during transform
• Improve the face-normal probe and GPU picking system 💢
  • Accuracy, 60 FPS pointermove, no additional latency (e.g. BVH)
  • The grid has the ability to snap correctly

📍 If you draw and it doesn't, it means the builder is working, you are drawing faster than your hardware and browser will allow. (latency > 150 ms)

• Also, the FPS depends on many factors, such as the material (CEL is faster) and the distance between the camera and the model. Rendering a dense Thin volume at close range greatly increases GPU load.

4.5.0

• Three.js r169
• Three-mesh-bvh 0.8.1
• Transform gizmo attached to imported voxels
• Exported meshes are not attached to the JSON file (ensuring data safety on save)
  • Importing and stacking meshes in the export tab is confusing and removed
  • You can export baked meshes or import voxels from baked GLB
  • Keeping the exported GLB file means you have the voxel data!
    (exported binary file isn't changed, it's raycast magic and slower than JSON)
• Remove quick access buttons from the top bar (prevent accidental touches)
• Fix and update voxel transforms

The new path started with my migration to Linux, an almost ruined playground (SPS engine fallout) that came to life in 20 versions.
