Finally! Crimild v4.2 has just being published
This marks the second release this year which means I earned some sort of achievement, right?
This new version includes a lot of new features and changes like Metal support in iOS/tvOS, skeletal animation, math improvements and streaming (yes, that’s back too), just to name a few. As usual, the API changed quite a bit to reflect these new features and some other ones have been deprecated or removed.
Download the new version here or clone the master branch.
