✨ 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

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

✨ 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
