Note

Please note that these release notes are to track new features and changes to the PlayCanvas Editor. They do not contain the source code to the Editor.

What's new

We're happy to announce that v1.74.0 of the Engine is now available in the editor. This comes with a number of new features and bug fixes. You can check out the release on GitHub for more details.

Improved Gaussian Splatting

We’ve updated our Gaussian Splatting rendering to fully support spherical harmonics. Rendering with spherical harmonics provides more lighting information, which can result in much more realistic renders. You can see the comparison in the two images of the same capture below. This is an exciting step forward in creating high-quality renders!

ESM Scripts

We’re also excited to ship the Script class, which represents an important step towards our new ESM Scripting system. ESM Scripts are a modern way to build PlayCanvas projects that fully support ES Modules and offer more features out of the box. We’ll be launching ESM Scripts soon, so stay tuned for more information.

v1.74.0 also comes with a range of engine fixes. Check out the release on GitHub for more information.

Fixes

  • Script Ordering Fix: We've managed to fix a long-standing issue with script ordering, which was particularly problematic for projects with lots of script. You can find out more about this on GitHub.

  • GLB Material Imports: We've squashed a new bug with how our GLB materials were being imported. You can learn more about it here.
