- 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.
- Added a new proposal for boundary smoothing in the weight cutout process, differentiating between Split edges and Outline smoothing requirements.
- Introduced a new capability `cutout-boundary-smoothing` to control smoothing strength and default values.
- Updated specifications to define the behavior of boundary-specific smoothing strength and default settings.
- Created tasks to verify the implementation of boundary behavior and asset updates.
- Developed comprehensive tests for depth symmetry and normal scaling to ensure expected behavior and performance.
- Introduced new attributes for normal mapping to facilitate persistent face attributes sharing between depth symmetry and image materials.
- Built a new node group for O Image Depth Symmetry, integrating the new smoothing capabilities and ensuring compatibility with existing workflows.
- 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.
- Replaced the Mesh Detail parameter with a new Edge Length property to define cutout sampling in physical units.
- Introduced Minimum Relative Edge Length preference to control effective spacing based on the bounding box of the cutout content.
- Updated tests to validate the new edge length functionality and ensure consistent behavior across different resolutions and canvas sizes.
- Removed deprecated parameters and adjusted related properties to align with the new edge length implementation.
- Enhanced geometry sampling logic to utilize effective world spacing for both standard and fine outline modes.
- Implemented a preview tool for rectifying images with interactive aspect controls in `preview.py`.
- Added tests for depth metadata loading to ensure consistent schema usage in `test_depth_metadata.py`.
- Developed comprehensive tests for cutout calibration processes in `test_cutout_calibration.py`, including stability checks and depth calibration.
- Created tests for frame compositing operations in `test_frame_compositing.py`, ensuring correct handling of depth and transparency.
- Introduced material slot inheritance functionality in `material_slots.py` to manage geometry material assignments.
- Built shared shader nodes for material processing in `shader.py`, including roughness and bump mapping setups.
- 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.
