We are happy to announce another developmental release from Google Summer of Code! This release includes bug fixes, a refactored rendering pipeline with improved performance, new 3D capabilities, and new example code.

List of New APIs

  • New materials in P3D
    • normal_material assigns a color to a pixel solely based on the normal vector of the fragment being rendered. Useful for debugging
    • basic_material returns a uniform color.
    • blinn_phong_material is a material based on the Blinn-Phong reflection model. This is the most “realistic” material in p5py. Parameters to adjust it include
      • ambient is the color that interacts with ambient_lights
      • diffuse/emissive is the surface color that interacts with point_lights and directional_lights
      • specular is the highlight color that interacts with point_lights and directional_lights
      • shininess determines how glossy a surface is
  • Lighting system in P3D
    • lights creates default lights
    • ambient_light is a light that's uniform everywhere
    • directional_light comes from one direction: it is stronger when hitting a surface squarely, and weaker if it hits at a gentle angle.
    • point_light comes from one location and emits to all directions.
    • light_specular controls the color of the specular highlight
    • light_falloff controls how fast a light fades with distance

List of issues fixed in this release

  • #31 Implement saveFrame()
  • #155 Output canvas to video or sequence of png's
  • #156 push_matrix() and pop_matrix() not working
  • #158 no_loop incorrectly allows an extra draw frame
  • #172 begin_contour and end_contour not working
  • #175 no_loop() when used in setup() don't call draw() but it should call draw() only once
  • #152 Occlusion of shapes in 3D Mode
  • #180 Tutorial wrong? pop_matrix() does nothing, but should be refered as reset_matrix() instead
  • #167 end_shape() is closing shapes without 'CLOSE'
  • #188 Inconsistent behavior for Arc
  • #195 Not able to create holes in a shape using begin and end contour

  • #141 AttributeError: 'Geometry' object has no attribute 'children'
  • #173 The quest for better tessellation
  • #183 Scalling with scale(1,0) does nothing. but scale(0,1) works
  • #217 Bug: Does not install or get the shaders directory
  • #213 Add support for renderer attribute in run() function
  • #222 Update installation scripts
  • #174 Add 3D material and lighting APIs
  • #66 VS Code + pylint integration with p5

This release also includes contributions from @parsoyaarihant, @jeremydouglass, @tushar5526, @Hansimov, @ReneTC, @Andy-Python-Programmer, and @galaxyproduction. Thank you!
