Same old Entity 1.3, great new feature!
This release is Entity 1.3.3 using revised code created/modified from the original code and taken from numerous other places. The most obvious changes to the code include; but may not be limited to:
- Improved triangle strip generation:
Rewrote the code involved with the OBJ file processing before it is handed off to Directx for processing. This results in a better compression, but you may run into trouble with models being improperly injected: such are the woes of making things more proper.
UV and Vertex compression:
Fixed the way the bounding box was generated for compression. Not sure if there is any particular noticeable improvement due to this, but higher accuracy of UV and vertex locations could possibly be achieved now.
Normal, Tangent, and Bitangent vector compression:
Code was rewritten to be more understandable (for me at least), as well as to fix an apparent bug in the original code. Decompression and re-compression of model raw results in a change of the values stored: this is due in part to rounding errors, and to a greater extent, due to an anomalous value at 0.
Shader Groups:
Support for this was removed during the testing stages of the new code, but I plan on releasing a version further down the road with enhanced features. All mesh is by default set to shader group 0.

Somehow Entity does work in spite of its bad coding.
