1.1.0

Envision 1, Update 1

Official release

Date - July 16, 2025

New Features

• Traffic Simulation System:
  • Real-time vehicle traffic simulation powered by the Anima engine – instantly build dynamic street scenes, from busy urban areas to smooth-flowing highways.
  • The Chaos Cosmos library now includes animated vehicles ready to drop into your scene.
• Revamped Render Settings plus Batch Rendering:
  • The updated Render Settings dialog streamlines workflow for both still images and sequences.
  • Create and manage multiple render jobs, each with unique camera or video, and scene state combinations.
• Proximity Sensors: New interactive objects trigger animations when other objects or cameras come close – automatically open doors, activate mechanisms, and more.

Improvements

• Full Screen Mode (FSM) Related Crashes: Streamlined the animation playback, variation editing and view switching while in FSM.
• Material editor:
  • Added ability to specify and display the bump map type of materials. Select between grayscale map and normal map.
  • Added a simple transparency mode useful to create materials where light passes through without refraction or bending (like transparent or semi-transparent curtains or sheer fabrics).
• Pivot, Align & Distribute: Now shows a notification if the requested operation isn’t possible with the current selection.
• Spline creation/editing: Now requires at least two points to prevent confusion and accidental single-point attempts.

Crash Fixes

• Fix crash when output video file is not writable.
• Fix editing of variations in preview mode results in a crash.
• Crash when assigning non-standard material as Mix material layer.

Bug Fixes

• Fix referenced animation playback after source replace.
• Fix switch of system audio output device muting Envision.
• Use spacebar only for toggle of animation playback globally.
• Turn off tone mapping for EXR render output.
• Fixed persistence of imported camera properties across multiple sessions.
