Material Maker 1.4a1

Known problems

• User settings are saved in a different directory (so using 1.4 alphas should not
  affect your 1.3 configuration)
• Subwindows are not scaled correctly if the UI scale is not 1

General

• Added flexible UI layout: panels can be moved anywhere in the window or
  undocked (Material authoring and Painting have different layouts)
• Improved theme support (especially made many custom UI components themeable),
  added a new Modern theme and improved old themes (contributed by Jowan-Spooner)
• Added basic support for GLTF 3D models
• Dropping a .obj or .glb file into the 3D preview panel will use it as preview model
• In the 3D preview replaced the default cube mesh with a chamfered cube and the
  plane with a bent plane (chamfer and curvature can be modified in the mesh
  configuration popup)
• Improved the Add Node popup so it's themeable, more performant and has better search
  capabilities (contributed by Jowan-Spooner)
• Improved the Library panel's design (contributed by Jowan-Spooner)
• Added an editor for polygon parameters in the 2D preview
• Added a shader error diagnostic tool
• Added easy stylus pressure configuration in painting tool
• Added a Find/Replace tool to code editor
• Added an option to delete rescued unsaved projects at startup
• Added support for hover copy+paste on float, color and gradient editors

Nodes

• Added a MeshMap node that automatically bakes maps (position, normal, tangent,
  curvature, occlusion or thickness) for the current custom mesh.
• Added many new 2D and 3D SDF nodes (contributed by Theaninova and williamchange)
• Added new operations to the Math and Vec3 Math nodes (contributed by williamchange)
• Added a Shard FBM noise node (contributed by williamchange)
• Added a Tex3D Uniform node (contributed by williamchange)
• Added Classic, Generalized and Anisotropic Kuwahara filter nodes (contributed by williamchange)
• Redesigned the Float and Gradient parameter editor widgets (contributed by Jowan-Spooner)
• Improved the image picker UI (contributed by Jowan-Spooner)
• Added a new Splines parameter type (that can be edited in the 2D preview directly)
  and a new Splines node
• Added a new Pixels parameter type, that can describe tiny images with 2, 4, 8 or 16 colors,
  and can be edited in the 2D preview directly. Added new Pixels and Smooth Pixels nodes
• Added a new Lattice parameter type and a new Distort node
• Added a new Webcam node that can output a Webcam feed (MacOS only)

Miscellaneous

• Material Maker is now based on Godot 4.3. While porting to Godot 4, many features
  have been rewritten completely, including shader code generation and shader rendering
• The MacOS export has been modified so Material Maker can be installed
  easily (contributed by williamchange)
