1. Camera now has a virtual look-at point. Camera can now rotate around the look-at point or as well as itself. No focus will be lost during camera operation (issue #2039). New object can place at this look-at point(view center).
2. Better camera close-look - adjust pos/zoom of camera and make view frustum fit the calculated bounding box of selected nodes and components.
3. Double click component in Hierarchy Window can also look close to the node.
4. Camera smooth interpolation - pos/rot/zoom smooth interpolating for close-look, top/front/side view switching.
5. Removed MouseWheelCameraPosition to make camera less confusing.
6. Key/Mouse changed - Added F key(Standard Hotkey, many popular tools use this key) and NumPad Period(Blender Hotkey) for camera close-look. Moving middle mouse button for orbiting around look-at and right button movement for orbiting around camera itself (For standard Hotkey).
Subpixel-positioned text looks blurry, due to bilinear filtering of the
underlying texture. The basic idea here is to stretch the font glyphs
horizontally to increase the sharpness at subpixel positions. The
stretched images need to be smoothed to avoid aliasing artifacts; this
is done in FontFaceFreeType::BoxFilter().
Glyphs are always pixel-aligned vertically, so no vertical oversampling
is needed.
To make this feature comprehensible (I hope!) I've removed the
'subpixelGlyphPositions' flag and replaced it with a couple of values:
'fontSubpixelThreshold' sets the point at which subpixel positioning
kicks on, and 'fontOversampling' controls the amount of stretching.
The default values are 12pt text and 2x oversampling. These are fairly
conservative settings, which should improve small text without wasting
a lot of memory.
Note that when the font hint level is NORMAL (the default), subpixel
positioning and oversampling are both disabled. So, this feature doesn't
change any default behavior, and applies some hopefully sensible values
if the hint level is set to LIGHT or NONE.
When this option is enabled, text will be formatted with subpixel
(fractional) positions on the x-axis. Positions on the y-axis are
still pixel-aligned.
Note that this option has no effect if the hinting level is set
to FONT_HINT_LEVEL_NORMAL, as each glyph is rounded to an integral
pixel size by the hinter. It only makes a different if the hinting
mode is LIGHT (vertical hinting only) or NONE.
With subpixel positioning, the output will look blurrier due to
texture filtering. TODO: Add horizontal oversampling to improve
sharpness. That needs extra memory so it should be configurable.
This commit changes the 'pointSize' parameter in Font, Text
and Text3D from an int to a float, allowing e.g. 14.5pt text.
Note that when hinting is enabled, font metrics are snapped
to pixel boundaries, so the effect may be hard to see unless
you also set UI.FontHintLevel to LIGHT or NONE.
This is a change to the public API, but existing code (including
scripts) should compile and run as before.
There are three levels: NORMAL (the default), LIGHT and NONE.
The LIGHT level makes FreeType align font outlines to pixel
boundaries vertically, but not horizontally.
