S&box Hype Thread

[SaintLuther]

mini blogs were supposed to be more frequent but I guess not. They recently released 5 new ones.

Hammer Gizmos
Lets you insert lines, shapes, models, sprites or particles into hammer using code. I've never used Hammer before but I guess this might make it easier to design maps with code

Glass Shader
Make sure you check out the screen shots here, the glass and reflections in S&box do be looking hyper-realistic

Area Lights
More reflection porn. Really impressive that none of this requires RTX. Not sure if it uses RT cores at all, or if it's all rasterization.

Input Actions
Game modes can now have their own control system. In Gmod you basically had to intercept key presses to change what a button did, but this lets you define inputs and the player can then change what button is bound to that input. Also looks like they added gyro support for controllers.

UI Update
Added support for CSS masks
Added support for SVGs
Added support for Razor Fragments
Added support for WebSurface (basically a web page being displayed in a UI or in-game)
Drag scrolling and horizontal scrolling
