Last year, Magnum was used to introduce students to virtual reality programming at the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München — powering a CAVE-like environment, a room-scale five-sided projection installation.
Among other highlights is a new glTF player app, HiDPI support, spline interpolation, a Box2D example and productivity improvements all across the board.
A new Magnum example implements an analytic method for area light shading presented in the paper “Real-Time Polygonal-Light Shading with Linearly Transformed Cosines”, by Eric Heitz, Jonathan Dupuy, Stephen Hill and David Neubelt.
