Release Notes

5.0.4
New
  • Various Compression tools added to better optimize assets. 
    • Added Compression step when files are imported into Lens Studio.
    • Added Compression tools for Mesh and Textures. 
  • The Shopping Module has been added.
  • The Face Inset Editing Tool enables Lens Developers to quickly map facial features of a user's face (e.g. eyes) to other areas of their face.


Improvements
  • Mesh presets have been updated to a uniformed scale with a value of 1 unit size.
    • Cube.mesh has been removed due to a duplicate box.mesh file.
    • Pivot.mesh has been removed.
  • Text3D inspector has been updated to include dynamic text options, multiple line entries and added a custom LayoutRect field.
  • Multiple instances of the same VFX asset can now be added to the scene.
    • Reduces the need to clone assets and speeds up development.
    • CopyID and NumCopies assessors have been added to the Particle Get Attribute and Particle Get Setting nodes respectively.
    • Each instance is batched into the same render pass which makes it very efficient.
  • Adding missing hotkeys in the Shader Graph. You can now use the following hotkeys for these functions.
    • Select all Connected Nodes to the Left: Left Arrow Key
    • Select all Connected Nodes to the Right: Right Arrow Key
    • Create Sub-graph: CMD+G
  • Two additional Discard modes have been added to help optimize VFX systems.
    • Discard by Alpha will discard if the alpha channel of the input color is below a set threshold.
    • Discard by Black Level will act similar to Discard by Alpha, but it will compare the dot value (innputColor.rgb, vec3(1.0)) with a threshold value.
  • A new “Non-undoable” action dialog has been added. This dialog box warns users about deleting assets that may not be undone.
