Mar 1, 2025March 2025 highlights for IfcOpenShell/IfcOpenShell: Delivered the traverse_transparent feature to control sun light traversal through transparent objects in EEVEE NEXT. Implemented a new traverse_transparent property, updated the rendering path to switch to EEVEE NEXT when enabled, and integrated UI controls for the property and its associated sun intensity setting. No major bugs fixed this month. Impact: enhances lighting realism for scenes with transparency, provides artists with precise control, and aligns rendering with EEVEE NEXT path, enabling better visual quality and workflow efficiency. Technologies demonstrated: rendering-engine adaptation, property-driven rendering, UI integration, and robust version control (commit referenced: 4cff2f1fc195ec291692329f7686c5df830646ba).
