GPU Emitter / Particle System received several enhancements: buffer-based random values, particle size variation, and mesh spawning support including skinning, along with streamlined shader parameter handling and lifetime naming for consistency. Polygon Rendering and Collider Optimization removed forced allocation of the polygon primitive and added cachedCollider to speed up local ray intersections. Model Editor gained MaterialSelector support by enabling it as a child prefab for Model objects in the editor. Shader/Renderer Maintenance and Cleanup addressed stability by routing shader removal to the main pass, improving Vector4 handling, and cleaning up FX removal logic to prevent leaks and artifacts. Impact and business value: these changes collectively improve rendering fidelity, performance, and editor usability, enabling faster iteration and more robust post-processing pipelines. The project now handles more complex materials and meshes with lower CPU/GPU overhead, which translates to smoother in-app visuals and reduced maintenance costs.
