- Introduced a new `compare_node` function to streamline comparison operations across various geometry nodes.
- Replaced instances of mathematical comparison nodes with the new `compare_node` function in multiple files, enhancing code readability and maintainability.
- Updated related logic in cutout, depth surface, and image processing groups to utilize the new comparison method.
- Ensured consistent handling of boolean logic through the introduction of a `boolean_node` function for combining boolean inputs.
- Unified reference depth calculation to use a single implementation in common/depth.py.
- Removed server-side reference depth computation and adjusted depth.json to only include image_size and intrinsics.
- Updated depth texture handling to ignore transparent, invalid, and non-positive pixels when calculating reference depth.
- Changed reference depth calculation to use the 95th percentile of valid depth values.
- Adjusted depth direction fitting to return a flat direction when no samples are available.
- Removed cleanup threshold parameters from Cutout and related nodes, simplifying the interface.
- Updated tests to verify new reference depth logic and ensure compatibility with existing functionality.
- Unified the canonical local frame for generated geometries (Plane, Depth Plane, Relief Plane, Cutout, Depth Cutout) to align with Blender's object coordinate system, setting X as horizontal, Z as up, and +Y as depth.
- Removed the `Depth Axis` parameter from `O Image Cutout` and `O Image Depth Cutout`, simplifying the geometry generation process.
- Updated the depth direction defaults to use +Y instead of -Z for `O Image Relief Plane` and Depth Symmetry.
- Adjusted the geometry nodes to ensure thickness, projection, and shell displacements operate along the Y-axis.
- Implemented new capabilities for handling object space normals to align with the new canonical frame.
- Enhanced the Depth Symmetry functionality to mirror across the canonical Y-axis and perform a final rotation to maintain the correct orientation.
- Added tests to validate the new coordinate system and ensure compatibility with existing assets.
- Implemented the "O Image Relief Plane" Geometry Nodes group to create a fixed-base image relief using depth images and various parameters.
- Created the "O Shadeless" shader node group to display color without scene lighting while preserving shadows and reflections.
- Introduced a preview feature for node groups, allowing for interactive visualization of node arrangements in an HTML format.
- Added a template HTML file for rendering node previews with customizable views and controls.
