Official release date: September 29, 2026
New features
Combined object gizmo
- Use the redesigned gizmo to Move and Rotate objects.
Section tool
- Use plane and box cuts to create and adjust section cuts in the viewport. Explore interiors and include dynamic cuts in animations without changing the source geometry.
Improvements
AI
- Access the existing AI tools from a single entry point. Their functionality and workflows stay the same.
Object List
- Simplified filtering with a cleaner layout that supports current and future object types.
References
- A warning now appears when you remove a reference whose materials other scene objects use.
Fixes
Anima
- Fixed an unclear error message that appears when DirectX initialisation fails.
- Fixed incorrect Cosmos asset results when browsing from Crowd/Traffic.
Audio
- Fixed a crash caused by repeatedly clicking the fade-in or fade-out buttons.
Colour picker
- Fixed partially cropped RGB/HSV controls.
Cosmos Asset Library
- Fixed an issue where resizing the left panel hides the Asset Library UI.
Live Link
- Fixed a crash that can occur when you restart Live Link during output rendering.
Materials
- Fixed an issue where Envision ignores opacity maps for some Asset Library assets.
Object replacement
- Fixed an issue where the node pivot is offset after you replace an object.
Snapping
- Fixed an issue where all-axis surface snapping offsets spline control points.
Transform
- Fixed pivot transform presets that do not work correctly on an object-replaced asset.
