Description

• Updated default scene to include:
  • Post Process Stack
  • Skysphere
• Added a default HDRi texture and a material for the skysphere
• Fixed HDR textures were loaded as RGBA16F instead of RGBA32F
• Updated grid to fade with horizon
• Updated bloom effect default threshold from 0.8f to 1.0f
• Updated ambient lights default values from 0.1f to 0.03f (works better with PBR)
• Updated default material to use the StandardPBR.ovfx shader instead of StandardPBR.ovfx
• Shadows are now enabled by default on directional lights
• Updated scene view and asset view background color to full black (0,0,0) (not visible when using a skysphere)
• Fixed asset import doesn't offer importing HDR by default
• Updated CreateNewMaterial function used by the asset browser to not use hard coded XML materials, but use the serialization system instead.
• Removed unused stencil usage in Grid
• Added stencil clear to DebugActorRenderPass for outline rendering (was necessary since the clear was removed from the GridRendererPass)

Limitations

• Bloom, when applied to skysphere, might not be visually accurate in some scenarios (bleeding)

To-Do

• Fix bloom not working well with skysphere (bloom shouldn't apply to the skysphere at all) bloom should apply to the skysphere, but bloom settings could be tweaked by the user based on the skysphere.
