Construct 3 r508

Notes

This week work continues on 3D collisions, and it now supports 3D collisions with mesh distortion. This means you can do things like use a 3D mesh for some terrain with various ups and downs, and accurately collide with it. Internally there's a new mesh collision optimizer that can efficiently handle collisions even for large meshes with dozens of rows and columns, resulting in thousands of triangles. We're looking to extend this to 3D model as well so the same system works for efficiently colliding with 3D model scenery and hopefully will have something ready within this release cycle, but for now 3D models continue to use bounding box collision.

In this release we've also changed ambient light to just be a color, instead of having a separate amount and color. The default ambient light is now (8, 8, 8) which corresponds to 3% (the previous default amount) on a 0-255 scale. This means you can directly choose the color of the ambient light, rather than setting a color and then what was essentially a multiplier for the color.

Other improvements in this release include a range of further improvements for 3D model, including fixing a performance issue, some script API updates, and a few other tweaks and adjustments. Happy testing!
