0.4.6t

Details

• Base metal support (Apple platforms)
• Improved re-import times by fixing issue where generating blueprint vars could happen several times.
• Fixed issue where trigger vars could fail to be added on re-import
• Creating blank view models now properly created nested view models.

Known Issues

• Artboard sometimes only redraws draws after changing windows
• If Unreal Editor is built for Debug, then an assertion is hit when packaging.
• High level of shader permutations
• Metal optimizations still needed.

0.4.5t

Changes made.

• Fixed flickering in drawn artboards
• Fixed advanced blend sometimes drawing black to render targets.

Known issues

• Reimporting rivs is slow in certain situations.
• Artboard sometimes only redraws draws after changing windows
• If Unreal Editor is build for Debug then an assertion is hit when packaging.

0.4.4t

Changes Made

• Instead of using LoadClass have a generated map that holds soft class ptrs
• Changed Instance name enum to assert since editor is now fixed.
• Updated broadcast logic to only broadcast on final instance name.
• Updated package creation logic to actually fully load the package rather than just mark it so.
• Made each asset its own package instead of just using the folder.
• Added Make Artboard node similar to make view model
• Fixed possible crash where Rive file could not be set in a render target.
• (Hopefully) Fixed requiring multiple saves on re-import riv files.

Kown Issues

• Reimporting rivs is slow in certain situations.
• Artboard sometimes only redraws draws after changing windows
• If Unreal Editor is build for Debug then an assertion is hit when packaging.
• The ui flickers when drawing artboards.

Important information

• You will need to update the rive editor to the latest version and re-export your riv files. This is because there was a bug that prevented instance names from being exported for view models. Without this you may hit an assert.
• This may break some blueprints as well since it restructures how things are packaged in unreal assets.

0.4.3t: fix(unreal): fixed packaging defines (#10724) 16920d0c64

Changes Made

• Get defaults for --Default-- view model options
• Prevent crash when no artboard is set on Rive Widget.
• Fixed headers for packaging
• Fixed artboard not getting correct default view model
• Fixed issue where generated view model class could potentially not load.
• riv re-imports should no longer cause any validation issues or issues with blueprints that are currently using a generated blueprint class.

Known Issues

• Reimporting rivs is slow in certain situations.
• Artboard sometimes only redraws draws after changing windows
• Custom blueprint Make Artboard node is needed to match View model paradigm.
• If Unreal Editor is build for Debug then an assertion is hit when packaging.
• Sometimes multiple re-imports / Saves seem to be required to actually get the blueprint nodes to update.

0.4.2t

Changes made.

• Added ability to call triggers via Call function on the event dispatcher.
• Fixed RenderTarget Draw to only draw when artboard is set.
• Added function to RiveRenderTarget to draw DirectDrawCallback instead of only artboard.
• Now auto updates rhi resource when options are changed in RiveRenderTarget.
• View model values updates affect the state machine settled var.
• riv reimport no longer crashes the editor when object in use.
• Replaced Name is FindObject with *Name to be 5.6 compatible.
• Removed need for data ready callback on view models.

Knowing Issues

• Reimporting rivs can still cause validation issues in certain situations.
• Artboard sometimes only redraws draws after changing windows
