Construct Animate r507

Notes

It's the start of a new release cycle, and we have a big release for you this week! Starting things off, Construct now has initial support for 3D collisions! This means the usual collision checks like 'On collision' and 'Is overlapping' take into account the Z axis, whereas previously it ignored the Z axis entirely (handling collisions as if they were 2D). Currently this only checks the 3D box around objects, but it includes 3D rotation, the shape setting of the 3D shape object, and the collision polygon of 2D objects like Sprite when using 3D rotation. Most notably 3D model currently just uses the 3D bounding box, but we're hoping to improve things there soon. This is still enough to open up features like jumping between 3D shapes and 3D movement behaviors. You can also see the updated 'First person platformer' example which now uses true 3D collision detection rather than emulating it in the event sheet. Note however enabling 3D collision detection is not a backwards-compatible change: therefore there is a new project compatibility setting to opt-in to 3D collision detection. Existing projects continue to use 2D collision detection for backwards compatibility, but new projects automatically enable 3D collisions.

This release also includes lots more updates for 3D model. These include new options for morph target animations, a default model, unique icons, and import updates, as well as some bug fixes and an optimization.

Finally there's a batch of other changes, such as specifying a color for ambient light, version updates for WebView2 and Monaco (the code editor), and more. Happy testing!
