Performance and efficiency

  • Minecraft maps imported into Avoyd use four times less memory and saved world files are four times smaller on disk
  • More efficient (but not necessarily faster) file opening and export
  • Graphics optimisations improve performance by up to 1.5x compared to the previous version. This fixes a noticeable performance drop with narrow field of view angles (FOV)
  • Faster generation of vertices from voxels by up to 1.3x compared to the previous version.
  • Lighting update sync point removed to reduce frame time hitches.

Voxel Editor

  • Import image as Heightmap: floor and smooth surface.
    • The floor is a box fitting under the image heightmap.
    • Smoothing the surface reduces the amount of material of the top-most voxel of each pixel.
  • Edit tool's brush preview casts a shadow using stochastic transparency
  • Reset: in the voxel editor, settings can be reset to original installation values under menu Settings > Reset. More specific resets are now available in Display, Graphics, Controls and Cameras

Fixes

  • Crash when cancelling loading a world;
  • Reset settings no longer causes the main window to shrink;
  • Load world as paste brush anchor is now centred;
  • Edit tool wireframe cursor now shows when deleting, removing and cutting;
  • In-game spectate field of view uses in-game value instead of the voxel editor's.
