Assets / Samples were rebuilt for use with this version

Final Update for 2020.3 - Added Subgraph Utilities + Fixes

• Added a bunch of utility Subgraphs
• Added a new bool option to Multiplex FIFO blocks to handle spawnCount attribute or not.
• Changed VirtualImpact default bound size attrtibute name from size to scale to match attribute type vector3. (size is a float, not vector3)

Virtual Impacts

In this release, we present Virtual Impacts, an API to ease the processing of events in VFX, that handle management of events and lifecycle of the effects.

This release also fixes the VFX Event Tester that was broken.

An example is available through the package manager, in the samples.

FIFO Spawn Multiplexers + Advanced Event Tester

In this release two new features:

• Spawn Multiplexer FIFO Blocks (Custom C#) for handling multiple events hitting the Start pin of a spawn context
  • Burst Multiplex Fifo accumulates events hitting the start and backup their VFXEventAttribute Payload, then, every update, one burst event is popped out of the queue and output. Hitting Stop clears the queue.
  • Rate Multiplex FIFO accululates events hitting the start pin and for each, creates a virtual source with its own VFXEventAttribute payload that will live for a span of time. At update, the system cycles through active sources, and, every frame will process the spawn of one active source. Hitting stop clears all the sources.

• VFX Advanced Event Tester is a new Window (available in Window/Visual Effects/VFX Advanced Event Tester) that enables defining test profiles for sending events and VFXEventAttribute payloads to the VFX. Test data is stored in an editor-only component that holds the values.

VFXGraph Navigator + Output Camera Operators/Blocks

This new release introduces 2 new features :

• Navigator : a floating panel that enables browsing and searching the graph.
• Output Camera Operator & Blocks. Features that enable getting the "Currently Rendered" Output Camera instead of a specific camera. Can help for instance render rain on every camera in a split screen game. Note that this data is only available in output contexts.
