🚧 Prototype support for Autodesk Standard Surface materials in FBX import and export
🚧 Prototype support for vertex colors import from and export to FBX
🚧 Prototype support to strip Maya style namespaces (with colons) from nodes and materials during FBX import

🔨 Exported JPEGs of one channel textures should now report as 8 bit images

⚡ Fixed AO baking being skipped for some non-textured assets
⚡ Fixed a rare case of extremely long unwrapping times for meshes with very specific properties
⚡ Fixed an issue that could cause a crash when using large packingPixelDistance values
⚡ Fixed a crash when reading USD containing empty position buffers

July 08, 2025​

✨ New setting and default behavior for cube unwrapping during material replacement, now considering node transformations
✨ New optional setting to convert USD display colors to vertex colors or material values
✨ New initial support for importing USD shader node graphs, resolving missing textures from 3ds Max exports
✨ New initial support for merging and repairing meshes that share common borders
✨ New USD exports now use multiple indices for mesh attributes where appropriate, with a new setting to force single indexing
✨ New repair settings to recompute winding order based on triangle visibility
✨ New per-lump control for winding order repair based on visibility
✨ New decimation logic to preserve borders of non-flattened assets
✨ New behavior to compute decimation deviation for non-flattened assets across entire mesh

🔨 Updated CAD libraries to latest version with multiple improvements
🔨 Upgraded Draco (de)compression support to latest version
🔨 Improved preservation of USD structure, including mesh and material names
🔨 Improved baking of holes to alpha transparency

⚡ Fixed issues related to baking of non-flattened assets
⚡ Fixed issue with importing UV sets from USD that could prevent UVs from loading

⚡ Fixed export texture name prefix setting having no effect
⚡ Fixed issue that could cause USD export to hang
⚡ Fixed issue that could incorrectly detect normalmap scale as zero

✨ Added support for more CAD file formats:

  • Navisworks: .nwd,
  • STEP: .stpx, .stpz, .stpxz
  • ACIS: .sat, .sab
  • DGN: .dgn
  • I-deas: .mf1, .arc, .unv, .pkg
  • IFC: .ifc, ifczip
  • VDA-FS: .vda

✨ New setting to enable vertex merging independent of decimation and with control over radius
✨ New setting to enable sewing with distance threshold in millimetres for CAD imports
✨ New experimental repair settings with option to recompute winding order based on triangle visibility
✨ New setting to optionally disable sampling from close to triangle edges for occlusion culling
✨ New setting to define centering asset mode

🔨 Updated OpenUSD libraries to version 25.02
🔨 Improved performance of occlusion culling
🔨 Reading opacity in FBX legacy Lambert/Phong materials
🔨 GLTF import more reliably detects invalid buffer reads
🔨 Normal maps of scale 0 or very close to that are now removed on import to prevent further issues

⚡ Fixed issue that could result in black areas for non-opaque geometry when baking ambient occlusion
⚡ Fixed incorrect material assignments when reading FBX files with large number of materials
⚡ Fixed issue exporting opacity in FBX
