1.18.5 beta

Interface

• Add manual verification to the Patreon process.
• Reduce lag when loading large files.
• Reduce save file size.
• [Graph] Improve display performance.
• [Graph] Adjust junction distance and padding to match default grid settings (this makes junction 25% smaller).
• [Graph] Improve junction rendering on non-integer zoom level.
• [Graph] Change extension order for diagonal connection to be based on distance to edge instead of ascending.
• [Graph] Add undo point for junction anchor positioning.
• [Timeline] Hold ctrl while dragging the frame cursor to move outside the animation range.

Node

• New Sample gradient node

• New Oklch color node

• Loading graph now ignores connectivity rules.

• New pure function group: A group that only contains static nodes will now be flagged as “pure” and render faster (can be opt-out on the settings page).

• Path input now supports “./” for relative location.

• Node that connects between inline groups will automatically be included in the group on load.

• Setting any file path will now try to redirect the missing file to the new directory.

• [SmokeSim] Improve simulation accuracy.

• [SmokeSim domain] Add boundary conditions (wall, wrap).

• [SmokeSim domain] Add timestep property.

• [SmokeSim render] Now use domain dimension by default.

• [SmokeSim emitter] Add built-in shape types.

• [SmokeSim emitter] Add repulsive, vortex fields.

• [Crop content] Background now defaults to transparent instead of black.

• [Group IO] Now show the node name when zoomed out.

• [Armature create] Improve interface

• [Armature create] Combine move and scale to a proper transform tool.

• [Armature create] New bone mirror tool.

• [Armature pose] Posing now modify vec4 node if connected.

• [Armature pose] IK now takes priority when selecting.

• [Armature create, pose, rig] Now render armature in graph.

• [Inline Loop] Now display repeat junction if set visible.

• [Array Sample] Input changed to any type.

• [VFX Trail] Add a label to enable “output all particles” at the spawner node to render properly.

• [VFX] Double-clicking on another non-render node now shows the render preview.

• [Number] Rotator display type will also affect preview gizmo.

• [Number] New flat-style display option.

• [Number] New increment display.

• [Number] Range, step, and speed properties now available for rotator type.

• [Palette extract] Add mask input.
