v0.6.0

A major release, containing a new pose estimation algorithm, view-dependent texture extraction and a lot more minor improvements.

Highlights:

• Added a nonlinear camera estimation algorithm that directly estimates OpenGL-like rendering parameters (pose rotation, translation, camera frustum)
• A small OpenGL-like software-rendering function to render the model and textures
• Added the glm library headers for all OpenGL operations
• Parallelised the texture extraction using std::async
• The texture extraction computes and outputs the view-angle for each triangle
• The MorphableModel .bin files are now versionised (current version: 0)
• Minor fixes, added assert()'s, documentation improvements

v0.5.0

This is a milestone release and the first version that's ready to be released to the public.

Highlights:

• fully header-only, neat, simple & modern C++ code & doxygen documentation
• affine camera pose fitting
• shape-to-landmarks fitting
• isomap extraction
• includes our public shape-only 3D Morphable Face model
• example application (fit-model.cpp)
