What's new in Procedural Generator 2.0.0
Mar 31, 2015
- New plugin:
- OCLProgramming, allowing image effects using OpenCL kernels.
- Generator:
- Is now a shared library, and no more a static library.
- Displays the configuration panel using overlays, instead of using wxWidgets controls.
- As no more dependency to wxWidgets.
- Hence all wxThread has then be replaced by an std::thread.
- Uses FreeType to display text overlays.
- Generator class has been splitted in 3 classes : CpuStep, GpuStep, and Generator.
- Loads XPM images itself (for icons and buttons images).
- Each plugin implements CpuStep, GpuStep, and Generator.
- ProceduralGenerator : It is now a Generator plufg-ins holder, it just transmits mouse and keyboard events to the currently loaded generator.
- Now uses UTF8 encoded std::string instead of std::wstring.
- TextEffects : improved, thanks to shaders it is now rendered in one pass.
- MISC:
- The fullscreen switch now keeps the original image width/height ratio.
- Reads .mo files to retrieve translations, without wxWidgets help.
- Uses C++11 features like smart pointers (shared, weak and unique), threads, condition variables, atomics, lambdas, range loop for, auto, etc.
- The status bar is now integrated to the configuration panel.
New in Procedural Generator 1.3.2 (Jul 31, 2013)
- FEATURES:
- New plugin:
- GPUProgramming, similar to ShaderEffects with less limitations: image is optional as is vertex shader.
- MISC:
- It is now possible to go fullscreen by a double click on the main window
New in Procedural Generator 1.3.1 (Aug 29, 2012)
- Now using wxSizer classes to place elements and to resize main wxindow
New in Procedural Generator 1.3.0 (Jul 16, 2012)
- BUGS FIXED:
- Corrected Gaussian Blur in ImageEffects plugin
- Corrected a DiffusionLimitedAggregation crash in non square resolutions. Corrected ShaderWebcam on GNU/Linux.
- MISC:
- Revised thread system : the generators now are threaded and extend also wxEvtHandler.
- Revised communication between generator and worker threads : it is done through events.
- Generators and worker thread are detached threads (no more joinable). Revised ConfigPanel creation : the generators now hold the structure of the panel, the panel is created in main application (useful on MS-Windows so no more trouble from memory management between DLLs and main application). Revised communication between generators and their ConfigPanel, all is now managed through events.
New in Procedural Generator 1.2.3.0 (May 14, 2012)
- Modifications:
- Dropped boost/std threads, using wxThreads instead. Improved texture update from ram, using 2 Pixel Buffer Objects.
- Modified the CMakeLists.txt in order to have a binaries directory that looks like GNU/Linux install Modified the CMakeLists.txt to be able to install ProceduralGenerator (only on GNU/Linux, though)
- Added FindOpenCV in cmake_modules folder. I have taken the one available on OpenCV Wiki, but modified it a bit to take care of most recent versions of it. Modified the management of the status update event, to be cross-platform. Removed the static BufferDeclaration and BufferDeclarationElements, becaus it caused the close crash.
- Addins :
- New plugin:
- ShaderWebcam, to apply GLSL shaders over a webcam video.
- Corrections:
- Corrected a GUI lack of response, increasing the render loop timer time. Corrected a close crash
- Available Plugins:
- Life Game
- Colored Life Game
- Bugged Life Game
- Perlin Noise
- Voronoi 2D
- Diffusion Limited Aggregation
- Iterated Function Systems
- Image Effects
- Shader Effects
- Shader Webcam
- Text Effects
New in Procedural Generator 1.2.0.0 (Aug 11, 2011)
- Added GLSL image post-processing
