What’s New in This Update
- Expanded Bending Controls
Bending now works on the X axis as well as the Y axis, providing greater flexibility in shaping your objects.
- Shape Folding on the Y Axis
Create radially folded versions of your shapes with an adjustable radius, adding a fresh twist to your 3D designs.
- Tapering Controls
Independently taper shapes along both the X and Y axes for even more refined transformations.
- New Shape Types
Triangular prism, octahedron, and pyramid have been added to expand your creative palette.
- Enhanced Torus Scaling
Torus shapes can now be scaled with separate minor and major radius adjustments, giving you precise control over its proportions.
- Background Rendering Option
Easily show or hide the input source (background) behind your shapes, simplifying clip-based compositions.
New Modes
1. IMG to 3D Mode: Extrude or revolve any incoming video source into a custom 3D object—ideal for bold 3D logos or mind-bending abstract visuals.
2. Mandelbulb Mode: Explore mesmerizing fractal landscapes with an advanced procedural 3D Mandelbulb generator, featuring iridescent colors and extensive parameter controls.
Improved UI & Control Layout
Inputs and controls have been relabeled and reorganized for a more intuitive workflow, making it easier than ever to find and adjust parameters.
