  • Warnings due to conflicting script file names Animation.cs and Camera.cs (#198)

[4.0.1] - 2021-06-10

Changed

  • Renamed GLTFast.ILogger to GLTFast.ICodeLogger to avoid confusion with UnityEngine.ILogger

Fixed

  • Null pointer dereference exception on accessorData (thanks @hybridherbst)
  • Corrected flipped texture transform for KTX texture (#176)

[4.0.0] - 2021-05-21

Added

  • Import glTF files at design-time in the Editor
  • Custom inspector for imported glTF files, featuring import log messages
  • ImportSettings can be provided to GltfImport.Load (optionally) to customize the loading behaviour (quite limited at the moment, but gives room to grow)
    • ImportSettings.nodeNameMethod to allow customizing Node/GameObject naming convention
  • IGltfReadable interface for GltfImporter
  • Import and instantiation logging customization (see ILogger). Allows users to analyze log messages and/or opt out of logging all messages to the console (which is still done by default if you're using GltfAsset).
  • Scene support. glTF can contain multiple scenes and now it is possible to instantiate them selectively
    • GltfImport.InstantiateMainScene to create an instance of the main scene (or nothing if the scene is not set; following the glTF 2.0 specification)
    • GltfImport.InstantiateScene to create an instance of a specific scene
  • GPU instancing via EXT_mesh_gpu_instancing glTF extension (#107).
  • Camera support (via IInstantiator.AddCamera; #12)

Changed

  • Coordinate space conversion from glTF's right-handed to Unity's left-handed system changed. Please see the upgrade guide for details and the motivation behind it.
  • Nodes' names are made unique (within their hierarchical position) by supplementing a continuous number. This is required for correct animation target lookup and import continuity.
  • IInstantiator.AddPrimitive extended parameter first (bool; true for the first primitive) to primitiveNumeration (int; counting upwards from zero). This allows for creating unique GameObject names.
  • Renamed the main class GltFast to GltfImporter to properly reflect its purpose. There is a fallback GltFast class for backwards compatibility
  • Renamed GltfImporter.Destroy to GltfImporter.Dispose to have more consistent naming similar to native containers
  • IMaterialGenerator overhaul that allows more flexible generation of materials (ahead of time)
    • GenerateMaterial instead of passing on all require data (like full texture arrays), data has to be fetched from the GltfImporter/IGltfReadable.
  • IInstantiator.AddPrimitive: Instead of Material the IDs/indices of materials are provided and the materials themselves have to be fetched from the IGltfReadable/GltfImporter (allowing more flexible usage)
  • GltfImport.InstantiateGltf (instantiates all scenes at once) is marked obsolete in favour of InstantiateMainScene and InstantiateScene
  • Performance improvement: NativeArray buffers are not created copying memory. Instead they are created from pinned managed byte arrays. This should have some positive effect on binary glTFs with Draco meshes and KTX textures.
  • Update to DracoUnity 3.0.0

Removed

  • Compiler errors in Tests assembly due to inconsistent/incomplete class names/namespaces changes

[3.0.0] - 2021-02-04

Changed

    • Less memory usage (and likely faster) du to Jpeg and PNG textures being loaded non-readable (if possible)

[2.6.0] - 2021-01-31

Added

  • Support for performance benchmark package

Fixed

  • Unit tests are working in builds again (not just in the Editor)

[2.5.1] - 2021-01-22

Changed

  • Renamed glTF shader graph properties to match Unity Lit/BuiltIn Standard shader properties. Switching shaders preserves more attributes this way.

Fixed

  • Consistent casing in shader graph names
  • Apply material's occlusion strength properly
  • Removed artifacts on double sided opaque materials
  • Properly clean up volatile download dictionaries
  • Build compilation when targeting URP/HDRP

[2.5.0] - 2020-12-14

Added

  • Ported partial support for transmission materials to URP/HDRP 7.x
  • Improved/alternative transmission mode for Universal Render Pipeline that kicks in if Opaque Texture is enabled in URP settings

[2.4.0] - 2020-12-10

Added

  • Partial support for transmission materials in built-in render pipeline (extension KHR_materials_transmission; see #111 for details)

Fixed

  • Unlit double sided shader graph materials

[2.3.0] - 2020-12-04

Added

  • Support for Shader Graph based Render Pipelines including Universal Render Pipeline (URP) and High Definition Render Pipeline (HDRP) (#41,#42)
  • Material inspector: texture rotation value (in degrees) for both built-in and Shader Graph materials
  • GltfAsset now provides a streamingAssets option (default is off), for loading relative paths from the StreamingAssets folder
  • GameObjectBoundsInstantiator, a derived version of GameObjectInstantiator that calculates the glTF's axis-aligned bounding box
  • GltfBoundsAsset, a derived version of GltfAsset that adds a BoxCollider to instantiations
  • Render Tests: Minimize chance of visual regression by checking import results against reference images

Changed

  • Texture transform UV rotation: Using standard _ST property (Scale-Translation) by default. When rotation is enabled, scale values act as m00/m11 values of 2-by-2 rotation/scale matrix and are supplemented by two rotation values (for m01/m10).
  • Textures that fail to load don't cause the whole loading process to fail (thanks @Bersaelor for #117)
  • Unit Tests: Sample model list is now part of GltfSampleSet objects and not loaded from text file anymore

Fixed

  • Removed shader compiler warnings for built-in shaders
  • Removed compiler warnings in Unity 2020.1/2020.2
  • Changes to materials (in custom shader GUI) are saved now
  • Invalid matrix error. ValidTRS reports error in matrix data that does look correct (fixes #116)

  • Method GltFast.LoadGltfBinary to load .glb files from byte arrays is public now (#81)

Changed

  • Switched internal URL type from string to Uri

[1.0.1] - 2020-04-29

Added

  • Abstract interface IDownloadProvider let's users implement custom download behavior (useful for authentification or caching)
  • Added CustomHeaderDownloadProvider, a reference implementation that downloads glTF's files with custom HTTP headers

Changed

  • Removed support for obsolete draft extensions KHR_texture_cttf and KHR_image_ktx2

Fixed

  • Correct (brighter) colors due to color-space conversion (conversion from linear to gamma before applying to material)

[0.11.0] - 2020-03-07

Added

  • Support for texture samplers' wrapping mode
  • Support for texture samplers' filter modes (partial; see issue)

Changed

  • Increased performance due to more balanced threading by making all C# Jobs parallel
  • Refactored loading behavior
    • Main loading class does not interfere with it's IDeferAgent anymore. It just follows its order.
    • GltfAsset now has a loadOnStartup flat to disable automatic loading

Fixed

  • Redundant Load calls when using UninterruptedDeferAgent

[0.10.2] - 2020-02-26

Changed

  • Normals and tangents (if not present) are only calculated if the assigned material actually requires them.

[0.10.1] - 2020-02-24

Added

  • Experimental KTX / Basis Universal support was merged (off by default)

Fixed

  • Proper error handling invalid URL/path
  • Improved glTF-binary URL extension detection
  • Correct index order for line strip primitives (#59)

[0.10.0] - 2020-02-22

Added

  • Support for Universal Windows Platform (not verified/tested myself)

Changed

  • Refactored GltFast class to control loading coroutine in an effort to make usage and future port to async easier.
  • Optimization: Data loading is now based on accessors (rather than primitives). This reduces redundant loading jobs wherever accessors are used across primitives.
  • Optimization: Primitives of a mesh, that share vertex attributes now become sub-meshes of one Unity Mesh. This reduces memory usage and creates less Renderers/GameObjects.
  • glTF type (JSON or binary) is now auto-detected based on file name extension. Removed obsolete GlbAsset. This was done so GltfAsset can be derived off more flexible.

[0.9.0] - 2020-02-02

Added

  • Support for quantized mesh data via KHR_mesh_quantization extension

Changed

  • UV space conversion now happens per UV coordinate (not negatively scaled via texture tiling anymore). This helped to fix tangent calculation.

  • Certified correct normal mapping by making normals, UVs and tangents consistent
  • Double sided material fixes

[0.8.1] - 2019-12-05

Changed

  • Using custom glTF shaders instead of Unity Standard shaders. This speeds up occlusion and roughness/metallic texture loading since they don't have to be converted at runtime anymore.

Fixed
