Modeler V1.12 full release notes

Features:

• Following feedback from the Free Public Beta, we’re adding the Assets panel to the retail version of Modeler.
  • Use shape matching to quickly search for detailed assets based on a simple blockout.
  • Use search terms to narrow your search, and include or exclude categories of content to refine your results.
• Added an option when exporting to also export a log file that includes the selected export settings and additional export information.
• Improved the appearance of tooltips.
• When importing a mesh, you now have the option to subdivide the imported mesh, which can help decrease faceting when converting the mesh to clay.
• Added the option to select an increase resolution algorithm. Right-click the Increase resolution button in either the Actions menu or on the bottom bar to select between Smooth or Linear Up-res.

Fixes:

• Decreased GPU memory usage by up to 50%, especially for heavy scenes. This means general improvements in stability and performance.
• Upgraded to a newer OpenXR version that improves support for some controllers and headsets.
• Changing the visibility of linked primitive objects now works correctly.
• Fixed an issue where dragging objects in the Outliner while Limit to scope was turned on could cause unintended behavior.
• Fixed an issue where primitive scale handles could disappear.
• Fixed an export crash that could occur when static meshes were included.
• Fixed some tooltip and button text.
• Fixed a crash that could occur when working with networked drives.
• Fixed export issues for some file formats
• Removed the ability to look through a camera that has mirror, radial, or kaleidoscope repetition turned on. 
• Improved layout on lower resolution displays.
