release notes:

for "Lego Material for Blender"

-----

8.0 (2022-09-16):

! THIS RELEASE INCLUDES BREAKING CHANGES !

- [BREAKING CHANGE] Expose vector for custom texture coordinates (meaning the material no longer defaults to a UV Map, you have to specify your own mapping method using a Texture Coordinate or UV Map node)
- Add function to randomly rotate UV maps. This helps avoid texture tiling
- Add dust. It will show more on faces pointed up (global Z). It does not change the amount depending on how close bricks are, brick edges, etc.
- Switch color randomization from using "multiply" mix method to using "overlay". This allows colors to lighten as well as darken
- Improve and change the default values of almost all properties
- Decrease bump height of fingerprints
- Increase roughness of fingerprints
- Increase color of fingerprints
- Increase size of scratches (in relation to scale)
- Enable clamp for fingerprint
- Rename "Color Randomness" to "Randomize Colors"
- Remove emission shader (used for debugging)
- Remove cameras and other assets used for promo photos
- Improve example objects in the included file

- Make fingerprints affect roughness as well as color and bump
- Add fingerprint strength slider to node group
- Make fingerprint bump strength be controlled by new fingerprint slider
- Make fingerprint opacity texture "non-color"
- Add scratches strength slider to node group
- Make scratches bump strength be controlled by new scratches slider
- Make scratches bump texture "non-color"
- Change scratches bump texture size (make it larger)
- Combine identical nodes (math node that set scale for color and bump fingerprint textures)
- Remove GlobalColour node group (used for earlier versions, don't need it anymore)
- Add "Lego-Colors" node group for testing different colors
- Change default material color to #FFFFFF
- Move 1x1 brick used for geo nodes up and to the side, to make it more clear that you should change the material on it, not the instancer plane
- Set scene to CPU compute, for those who do not have an GPU
- Plus maybe some other minor thing
