Alpha Piscium

Highlight

• Added parallax mapping with shadowing, SSGI support
• Added Primary Color Calibration and HSL Color Mixer controls to the display transform (by leed)
• Improved cloud lighting with a new multiple scattering technique
• Improved rendering performance across raster geometry, shadows, and post-processing

New

• Added parallax mapping with shadowing, SSGI support.
• Added independent RGB primary hue/saturation calibration and eight-band HSL hue, saturation, and luminance controls (by leed)
• Added configurable color-grading color space and transfer-function settings (by leed)

Improvement

• Improved cloud lighting with a new multiple scattering technique and boundary confidence
• Refined cumulus density/noise modeling, lighting, edge shaping, and detail textures
• Packed solid G-buffer TBN data in view space and removed redundant geometry varyings and shadow transforms
• Optimized PCSS, SSS, and translucent shadow sampling with reused random inputs, deferred gathers, early exits, and selective material decoding
• Reduced TAA, FXAA, RCAS, Bloom, and exposure workgroup and dispatch overhead
• Improved GI denoiser temporal stability

Fix

• Fixed GI denoiser accumulation ignoring SETTING_DENOISER_HISTORY_LENGTH when clamping diffuse and specular history
• Fixed packed G-buffer normal precision
• Fixed AABB clipping TAA history clamping

Misc

• Removed the obsolete SETTING_BLOOM_RADIUS control and redundant post-processing pass wiring
