Additions

  • If an imported mesh has a material, the material will be displayed on import. Mesh material colors are not currently converted to clay color when the object is converted to clay.
  • Added Help menu to the top bar
    • Use this to quickly access tutorials, documentation, community, and other useful links.
  • Added a menu for mesh imports that allows you to select up-axis.
  • Added a fullscreen option.
    • Use View > Toggle Fullscreen

Changes:

  • Low level work in preparation for OpenXR
  • Laying the groundwork for stamps and other large changes.
  • Changed AVX requirements – a few releases ago we increased AVX requirements from AVX to AVX2, but this caused issues for some users. We have reverted to only requiring AVX again.
