Short Description: Preview of the new Outerra Scene Editor.

 

Basically what has been done so far:

 

- new UI framework to render dialogs (Javascript)

- sketch API to draw lines, images (C++)

- new 3D scene widget framework (Javascript)

- new camera controller to better suite the editing needs (non-linear zoom, smooth transition between different panning modes for different zoom levels, automatic / manual focus point)

- basic select / multiselect

- cursor showing elevation, distance, current axes

- camera / environment / time settings

- new entity / object browser with possibility to place objects

- object move operation with basic snapping (protractor / compass), cloning

- 3 different operating modes (copy terrain elevation / keep the sea level / align with object axis)

 

We have also migrated some of the dialogs to the new UI framework:

 

- location browser (already released)

- fbx importer

- object browser

- key binding editor

 

As there is still quite some work to be done to have all the functionality of the old UI, we will release the new sand box as a WIP in parallel to the old sand box. We would like to do it as soon as we have it stable, hopefully within next 1-2 weeks.
