Path traced renders · Path traced or quick, per export · Sculpted shapes
3D gets much more capable: path traced exports, sculpted and modelled shapes, fabrics and materials made in the app, and an AI that builds with all of it, while the canvas stays quick.
New
- Path traced renders: turn on Render in a 3D frame's panel and its exports come out path traced: light bounces between surfaces, soft shadows from area lights, real glass, reflections and depth of field. The canvas stays quick; only exports trace
- Path traced or quick, per export: a "Path traced | Quick 3D" switch in the Export section and in the video Render popover. Every 3D export shows live progress (samples traced, the frame it's on, time left) and can be cancelled
- Sculpted shapes: soft, organic forms made of shapes melted together, carved, bent and twisted, including cushions with domes, pinched corners, piped seams, quilted channels and buttons
- Sculpt strokes: creases, folds, pinches, dents and presses placed exactly where they go on a cushion or a seat, finer than the shape itself
- Polygon modelling: meshes built from a cage with extrude, inset, move and soft selection, smoothed with subdivision, with sharp edges where you want them
- Made surfaces: fabrics, woods, stone, plaster, knits and more drawn in the app as seamless textures with relief; mix layers into your own, and keep a library per 3D frame
- Lights, lens and color: soft rectangular area lights, camera focus and aperture, a Natural tone and exposure
- 3D with the AI: in design mode the AI builds with all of the above, looks at pieces up close, compares its build with a reference side by side, and exports the path traced result to check the final look
Improvements
- Quick 3D screenshots for the AI: screenshots of 3D frames take milliseconds instead of waiting for a trace
- Velvet: cloth sheen no longer sparkles in traced renders
- Big renders: exports of any size render part by part, without GPU hangs
- Sharper exports: images that were off screen no longer come out blurred in exports
Fixes
- 3D at startup: 3D frames no longer show their layers flat after the app starts, or after 3D couldn't start once
- Shared links: links include the 3D models their frames use
- Spun shapes no longer come out inside-out
