- Implemented `cutout_depth_surface.py` for face separation and connected thickness calculations for depth surface assets.
- Created `cutout_depth_surface_layout.py` to arrange nodes for staggered calculation branches in depth surface processing.
- Authored `geometry_layouts.py` to define layouts for various geometry assets, including image cutouts and depth planes.
- Introduced `node_layout.py` for shared presentation rules, facilitating node arrangement and validation in geometry-node layouts.
- Renamed "Base Plane Depth" to "Reference Depth" across validate_cutout.py for consistency.
- Introduced a new specification for Cutout mesh sampling to ensure source pixel spacing is preserved and limits are applied correctly.
- Unified naming conventions for image editing results to maintain consistency across Remove Background, Upscale, and Crop operations.
- Updated the handling of Refine Selection to ensure it retains the original bounds and does not apply unnecessary cropping.
- Enhanced material generation logic to connect image color directly to IOR Level, improving the rendering of dark areas.
- Established clear requirements for geometry depth controls and image result materials to ensure consistent behavior across different components.
- Removed outdated logic and ensured all changes are documented and tested for regression.
- Introduced a new design for selection rasterization that decouples the selection geometry from the image content, ensuring that the SelectionMask is independent of the source image's alpha and color.
- Updated the `rasterize_selection_path` function to only accept selection paths and image dimensions, removing parameters related to source alpha and alpha thresholds.
- Implemented a new approach for handling selection paths using non-zero winding fill, ensuring overlapping areas are preserved.
- Enhanced performance by utilizing a scanline algorithm for rasterization, significantly reducing processing time for high-resolution images.
- Updated internal documentation and added comprehensive tests to validate the new behavior and performance improvements.
- Ensured backward compatibility by maintaining existing interfaces where necessary while introducing breaking changes in the selection processing logic.
- Updated the depth plane node group to load from an asset and simplified the interface.
- Created a new build script for depth plane geometry nodes.
- Introduced material layer groups for image and depth materials with appropriate sockets.
- Added functionality to connect balloon normal scale to the image material.
- Enhanced tests to validate the new node groups and their connections.
- Ensured that production code does not create node groups directly.
