Wiki Overhaul / Update News
🕑 Added 2020-08-18 14:48:26 +0000 UTCNew Wiki
I've been dissatisfied with the old Wiki for a while now, so I've finally switched to a different wiki software now (Bookstack). Previously I've been using MediaWiki, which is very powerful and feature-rich, but also requires a lot of maintenance and it was too complex and bulky for my purposes. Plus, Bookstack looks very sleek and modern out of the box:
https://wiki.pragma-engine.com
I've also added some more information and instructions on how to use the Filmmaker: https://wiki.pragma-engine.com/books/pragma-filmmaker
(More tutorials will be added over time.)
The Patron URL for managing your keys and credits name has changed as well, you can now find it over here: https://wiki.pragma-engine.com/patreon/settings.php
I'm working on adding better documentation for the scripting API as well, but that's still a work-in-progress 😅.
Other changes
• Support for Filmic-Blender tone mapping (currently only enabled when using the external render tool)
• Overhauled subsurface scattering settings
Based on this post I've made some changes to simplify the subsurface scattering controls for materials for the Cycles renderer:
In general you should only have to select a preset and tweak the scatter color now to get good results. Visit the wiki for more information.
• In-game video tutorials
I've added a new tab and a video player for in-game tutorials, though it's mostly just a placeholder for now, as there are no actual tutorials yet.
• Animation caching
I've added a new animation caching system, which should speed up animation playback quite a bit (at the cost of increased loading times when importing a SFM session). It's still somewhat experimental, however.
If you have any wishes or ideas for wiki articles (e.g. PFM features that aren't clear), please let me know and I'll try to add them asap!
