- Render loop now only calls renderer.render() when the scene actually
changed (needsRender flag + requestRender export). Idle GPU usage
drops to near zero.
- Disabled shadow map (no receiver in scene, wasted a full render pass).
- Reuse overlay materials instead of creating new ones every paint frame.
- Dispose CanvasTexture in getEffectiveMapEntry (VRAM leak on every
slider change).
- Dispose axes/dimension geometry on model reload.
- Reuse Vector3/Quaternion temp objects in pointer/touch/wheel handlers
instead of allocating ~10 objects per mouse event.
- RAF-batch mousemove for hover/cursor, keep paint events immediate.
- Reuse faceMask buffer attribute when size matches.
- Cache getEffectiveMapEntry result (skip canvas tiling+blur when
texture and smoothing haven't changed).
- addSmoothNormals: same dedup+flat-array approach as displacement.
- Introduced a new section in the UI for surface exclusions, allowing users to exclude triangles from displacement using brush and bucket fill tools.
- Implemented brush type switching (single and radius) and radius control for the brush tool.
- Added functionality for bucket fill with a threshold angle to control the fill area.
- Integrated exclusion weights into the displacement algorithm to ensure excluded faces are handled correctly during subdivision.
- Created adjacency and centroid calculations for triangles to support the bucket fill operation.
- Developed overlay geometries for visual feedback on excluded faces and hover previews.
- Enhanced the CSS for the new exclusion tools and their layout in the UI.
