0.9.8b Added Lambertian shader family for rough surfaces with no visible specular reflection. Fixed some various small issues.

Hidden in the settings, there is an option to enable the title bar, so you can stop accidentally clicking and dragging the wrong things.

Okay, line 443 of Shaders/PBR/Lighting.glsl says this: if (material.roughness < 0.99f && material.metalness < 0.01f) And it is supposed to be this: if (material.roughness < 0.99f || material.metalness > 0.01f) I still don't know if I like this design, but that fixes the error.

I need a material file to test.

Compatibility with 0.9.7 is now breaking, so it's time to choose. You can change to the new 0.9.8 branch to remain on the previous beta build. Or you can stay on the beta branch with me and something about a rabbit hole... 0.9.8b Tessellation is back and improved in the new rendering backend. Subdivision/curvature can be used with or without displacement maps. Displacement maps can be used with or without subdivision/curvature. Per-mesh texture mapping scale can be calculated in the model editor. This is best for organic shapes. Terrain tessellation is not yet supported. Tessellation and displacement is complicated, but you can do some amazing things with them, and I think we have a system that will work with all models. Also: Lots of video quality settings added in the editor options. Refraction in transparency works in the editor now. Material properties are divided into more categories now. If metalness = 0 and roughness = 1, no specular reflection or Fresnel effect will be shown in PBR shader.

Why would it? It's just a multiplication, man.

There is a setting in the terrain properties to scale the terrain vertically. You will also want to use a high-precision image to prevent stair-stepping effects.

There's a lot you can do to adjust the speed in the foliage layer properties: The imposter distance can be used to show a billboard for trees that are further away. Shadows can be disabled on grass and small plants. The view distance of grass and plants can be made lower.

It's updated now for the fix for the problem.

Maybe export a probe's GI data as a set of two textures?

Oh okay, I did not realize you meant the same files. I see the problem...

It depends. If any color channel is less than or equal to 1.0, then the brightness will be reset to 1.0. If any color channel is greater than 1.0, then brightness is used to multiply the values.

It's not supposed to be. Brightness is just a hack to make up for the fact that the Win32 color picker only allows colors in the range 0-1. The color is converted to 0-1 color and brightness for display in the editor interface, but it's really stored as a Vec4.

My scene that contains a prefab does not have this problem. Can you provide instructions on how to make this error occur in your project?

What graphics card do you have? Can you post a screenshot of the scene you are rendering?

Are you saying that the framerate is slow?

I have revised the way prefab loading works. The component::Load calls may be more inline with your expectations now: https://www.ultraengine.com/community/topic/61318-release-notes/page/22/#comment-311284
