- 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.
- Introduced a new `Boundary Padding` preference in the Cutout Tool with a default of 2 px and a configurable range of 1-4 px.
- Updated the Cutout client to establish inward mapping from the final Mask, sampling in a fixed direction and processing independent material RGBA and Depth.
- Enhanced the handling of RGBA and Depth during cutout operations, ensuring proper mapping and preservation of source data.
- Added tests to validate the new boundary padding functionality and its integration with existing cutout processes.
feat(geometry): remove overall mesh smoothing from geometry nodes
- Removed the `Smooth` input from several geometry node groups to eliminate unnecessary overall mesh smoothing.
- Retained `Smooth Weight` for depth nodes while removing it from Cutout and Relief Plane nodes.
- Ensured that boundary, normal, and fill smoothing behaviors remain intact and consistent.
- Updated tests and documentation to reflect the changes in node interfaces and behaviors.
feat(normals): scale tangent normals with depth
- Reused the existing `o_normal_reduction` attribute to adjust Tangent Normal strength based on the geometry's `Depth Scale`.
- Ensured that Tangent Normal strength is consistent with the geometry depth, preserving full strength for materials that do not provide the attribute.
- Updated tests to verify the correct behavior of normal strength adjustments in both Tangent and Object Space.
- Introduced a new extension for restoring cutout depth with edge correction.
- Implemented edge depth extension algorithm in `edge_depth.py` to enhance depth accuracy near cutout edges.
- Updated `generate_moge_artifacts` to include an option for extending depth edges during depth generation.
- Modified cutout job processing to enable edge depth extension based on depth request.
- Added comprehensive tests for edge depth functionality, ensuring correct behavior under various scenarios.
- Updated existing node loading functions to remove asset revision dependencies, simplifying the loading process.
- Created new design and proposal documentation outlining the goals and decisions for the extension.
- Introduced `frames.py` to manage field complex calculations and their arrangement within node groups.
- Added functionality to create and remove field frames based on node arrangements.
- Developed `passages.py` to find unobstructed paths for connections around calculation frames.
- Implemented `references.py` to route shared results on peripheral tracks, ensuring efficient distribution of outputs.
- Created `sections.py` to reserve space for field calculations adjacent to geometry consumers.
- Added `sources.py` to position shared calculation sources effectively beside their distribution channels.
- Enhanced outline smoothing with `outline_smoothing.py` to adapt camera depth along original outlines.
- Introduced tests for boundary smoothing in `test_boundary_smoothing.py`, verifying that smoothing reduces stair-step artifacts while preserving boundary integrity.
- Added tests for cutout boundary behavior in `test_cutout_boundary.py`, ensuring proper handling of boundary triangles and normal blending.
- Created `test_temporary_attributes.py` to check the cleanup of temporary attributes across depth modifier branches, ensuring no warnings are raised.
- Implemented point culling functionality in `test_validity.py`, confirming that invalid points are removed without affecting adjacent geometry.
- Developed boundary smoothing logic in `boundary_smoothing.py`, allowing for depth smoothing while maintaining edge integrity.
- Added cutout boundary management in `cutout_boundary.py`, including functions for removing boundary triangles and tapering thickness profiles.
- Implemented validity checks in `validity.py` to ensure proper deletion of invalid vertices and associated wire edges.
- Introduced new utility functions in common nodes for evaluating fields and capturing attributes.
- Simplified volume field calculations in image depth cutout and panorama groups by utilizing new utility functions.
- Enhanced readability and maintainability of the image depth cutout and panorama node groups by removing redundant code and improving function usage.
- Adjusted default values for thickness and depth scale in image relief plane group for better user experience.
- Improved handling of geometry attributes and connections in image depth plane group to streamline processing.
- Implement tests for image layer functionality including alpha curve and depth layer behavior.
