⚡ Fixed issue that could cause USD export to hang
⚡ Fixed issue that could incorrectly detect normalmap scale as zero

April 16, 2025​

✨ 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
  • PRC: .prc

✨ New setting compact:vertexMergingRadius to enable vertex merging independent of decimation and with control over radius
✨ New setting import:cadSewTolerance to enable sewing with distance threshold in milimeters for CAD imports
✨ New experimental setting repair:windingOrderMethod with option to recompute winding order based on triangle visibility
✨ New setting visibility:sampleEdges to optionally disable sampling from close to triangle edges
✨ New setting export:centerModelMode defines new modes for centering the asset

🔨 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

✨ New setting export:discardEmptyNodes
✨ New setting remeshing:filterBackProjected to avoid interior remeshed geometry
✨ New setting visibility:computeAfterDecimation

🔨 Exporting to USD will now use original units, if possible, by default
🔨 Remeshing behaves deterministically now
🔨 Occlusion culling will now consider instanced geometry as blocking geometry

⚡Fixed VRM material properties being preserved for baking workflows
⚡Fixed issues in optimization with filesize target and UV preservation
⚡Fixed rare crash during remeshing
⚡Fixed USD export mesh binding attribute to only be set for meshes with skinning
⚡Fixes for some issues when baking after remeshing

🔨 Updated detection methods for import:alphaMapBlendToMaskThreshold and import:alphaMapToOpaqueThreshold
🔨 Reading and writing USD minFilter, magFilter, and sourceColorspace texture parameters
🔨 Triangles with invalid values for positions will now be filtered on import

⚡ Fixed various issues with mesh quantization
⚡ Fixed a rare issue with exporting textures in GLTF missing alpha or having wrong resolution
⚡ Fixed grayscale textures broken when exported as WebP
⚡ Fixed an issue where texture files with the same name could overwrite each other when imported from different USDZ files

November 11, 2024​

✨GLTF and GLB export now have initial support for mesh quantization

🔨USD import can now deal with assets and files from within USDZ packages if referenced from other USD files
🔨Improved support for UVs using indirect indexing in USD Reader

⚡Fixed potential baking artifacts at the border of UV islands
⚡Fixed issue that could cause ORM textures to be copied instead of outputting the individual channels
⚡Fixed issue that could cause skipping of remeshing when removing small features
