Physically Based Rendering Engine (BETA)

Our new (as of 0.9.4) rendering engine supports the following features:

• GLTF loading
• Skinning / bones, shape keys, animations from GLTF
• GPU-accelerated skeletal animation (FK)
• Access to whole node structure in Artiste to manipulate objects. Rotations can be first controlled by the animation track and then extra rotated in Artiste
• Physically Based Rendering (PBR) Materials
• PBR materials (values and textures) can be either manipulated or overridden in Artiste using traditional OpenGL dynamic textures allowing for lots of rendering tricks
• Image Based Lighting (IBL) using equidirect HDR light probes as lighting
• Screen Space Ambient Occlusion (SSAO)
• Support for up to 1024 point lights per scene
• Shadow Mapping for up to 4 directional lights
• Screen Space Reflections
• Legacy rendering pass: You can still render most traditional VZX modules on top of the new rendering engine. This is useful for particles, transparency, glowing stuff and more.
• Access to output of legacy pass as a texture for post processing
