////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// Blast(tm) SDK 1.0 beta (24-Jan-2017) ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// Changes ------- * Material API simplified (NvBlastProgramParams) * Nv::Blast::ExtPhysics renamed Nv::Blast::ExtPx * Various small changes to the low-level API (function renaming, argument list changes, etc.) * Extensions libraries reconfigured according to major dependencies and functionality: ** Authoring ** Import (depends on PhysX and APEX) ** PhysX (depends on PhysX) ** Serialization (depends on PhysX and Cap'n Proto) ** Shaders * Source folder reorganization: low-level, Tk, and extensions all under an sdk folder New Features ------------ * TkFamily serialization * Versioned data serialization extensions for both low-level and Tk, based on Cap'n Proto * TkJoint API, can create joints at runtime, attachments to Newtonian Reference Frame supported * CMake projects * PackMan used for dependencies * Per-bond and per-chunk health initialization * XBoxOne and Windows support for perf zones * Timers in Tk * Stress solver (automatic bond breaking) * ExtPx asset serialization, combined TkAsset + PhysX collision meshes (.bpxa files) Removed Features ---------------- * TkComposite objects. Composites may be created using the new TkJoint API in the TkFramework Known Issues ------------ * Serialization requires documentation ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// Blast(tm) SDK 1.0 alpha (21-Oct-2016) ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// Features -------- Blast (low-level) library BlastTk (high-level) library BlastExt (extensions) library including: * AssetAuthoring * DataConverter * BlastID Utilities * ApexImporter Utilities * Materials * Physics Manager * Sync Layer Tools: * ApexImporter * DataConverter * AuthoringTool Samples: SampleAssetViewer Known Issues ------------ * Documentation incomplete * TkFamily cannot be serialized * Data conversion utility for Tk library does not exist * Material API is still changing
