Release notes

0.2.0-alpha - released 24.11.2022

We are still tackling the issue where a planet is not appearing due to uninitialized drivers. We have added the "Reinitialize drivers" button that after a parameter change will reinitialize drivers.

new:

• Ability to add the rings to the planet.
• User Interface for the rings.
• Added material texture color space settings directly in the user interface for convenience.
• Rearranged UI blocks in a more intuitive fashion and also to maintain consistency between addons.

improvements:

• Optimized PSA integration.
• Sun angular diameter now affects all lighting calculations.
• Completely rewritten the way how nodes are generated.
• Clean up node groups to improve general performance.
• Nodes are now organized in a way to improve readability.

fixed:

• Fixed wrong blending of planet depth.
• Fixed cases when some of the drivers were not linked.
