**01**Features
## Render, animate, import and export with more control
v1.3 adds video tracks, light gobos, mirrors, vertex-edited models, and more animation controls. Features marked Beta are part of the upcoming v1.4 build, available to eligible supporters. Smoke simulation is included in v1.3 but remains experimental.
01
### **Volumetrics**
Build fog, clouds, atmosphere, and light-beam effects with procedural volume objects that support lighting, shadows, animated wind, turbulence, and noise.
02
### **HDR Glow and Bloom**
A completely new glow and bloom system. It creates more lifelike light with a bright hot core, smoother falloff, and multi-scale bloom around emissive materials, lava, signs, and stylized lighting.
03
### **Auto Updater**
Check the selected release channel, download the correct eligible build for your platform, follow progress, and hand the update directly to the installer.
04
### **Video Tracks**
Bring video into your project as an animated texture, with timeline playback and controls for timing, looping, and audio.
05
### **Planar Mirrors**
Add planar reflections to flat surfaces, with mirror controls for fitting the reflection to your scene.
06
### **Light Gobos**
Project a texture through a spotlight to create patterned lighting, from window shadows to stage lights.
07
### **OBJ & glTF/GLB**
Import .obj, .gltf, and .glb models with hierarchy, textures, PBR and emissive materials, transparency, double-sided materials, UV data, and background loading.
08
### **Graph Editor**
Edit animation curves and keyframe interpolation directly, with Bezier handles for controlling the motion between keys.
09
### **Vertex Model Import**
Import vertex-edited cubes and planes from Modelbench Community Build while preserving bends, mirrored geometry, negative scales, textures, bounds, and winding.
10
### **Global, Local and Gimbal Rotation Spaces**
Pose against world, object, or gimbal axes with distinct gizmo colors and a remappable shortcut for cycling between rotation spaces.
11
### **Blender-style Transforms**
Use a Blender-style modal transform workflow with axis and plane constraints for faster, more precise viewport editing.
12
### **Import .schematic, .schem and .litematic**
Bring common Minecraft structure formats into a scene with validated imports, safer rollback on failure, and compatibility for modern schematic layouts.
13
### **Smoke Simulations**
Create experimental smoke effects with live previews, baking, colliders, and cached simulation frames for repeatable playback.
14
### **& So Much More**
Explore expanded export formats, custom export watermarks, recent-project search, portable imported worlds, the Developer's Choice render preset, new volume shapes, path-based volume masks, volume gradient colors, and quality-of-life improvements throughout the editor.
15
### **New Exporting Queue**
Organize persistent export jobs with saved workspaces and presets, progress previews, logs, cancellation, retry, recovery, and background rendering after the editor closes.
