20.5.415

HDAs are now placed in a dormant state if loaded as a level instance inside a level. Editing the level instance will allow the HDA Component to be cooked. This fixes several issues when using level instances.

Added a Combine Normals COP that blends normal maps together.

Tue. November 12, 2024

Mon. November 11, 2024
21.0.167

Added a new Attribute Classify TOP, which can be used to assign a numeric value for each distinct attribute configuration on the the input work items. The list of attribute values to consider can be specified either with a multi-parm list or an attribute pattern. A new "class" int attribute is added to each input work item -- work items with the same attribute values will have the same class number.
