Layer Masks and Material Library Enhancements

May 30, 2023

This update introduces new layer masks and a material library with hundreds of materials for various applications. It also includes new features for pattern layers and triplanar projection for seamless texture mapping.

Changes

  • New: Layer masks. Now you can use a material layer to mask another layer

  • New: Pattern Layer to create tiles and other patterns with controls for size and frequency

  • New: Voronoi Noise. This type of noise is useful to simulate organic or crystal-like effects

  • New: Material Library with hundreds of easy to use materials for Metal, Wood, Ceramic, Nature, Concrete, Stone, and more!

  • New: Triplanar projection for image and pattern layers. This type of projection works with any object (including subdivs) and helps to achieve seamless texture mapping

  • New default matcaps textures

  • New control for glass quality from export settings

  • New: Now you can copy/paste material layers

  • Now the outliner indicates if an object has events or not
