Exciting news worth sharing! Patchwork 3D has been upgraded with some amazing new features.

Material

Specular materials now support Diffuse, Specular and Bump properties, allowing fine-tuned light diffusion (e.g. roughness maps). All materials that support textures can now be animated using video textures. New materials are available for external libraries.

User experience improvements

We've made several changes to improve the efficiency of the Unfolding Workshop user interface (UI). Added a Save Reminder feature to ensure your work is never lost. Added a new Quick Save feature that does the same thing as Save, but faster.

New plugin tools

New plugin tool buttons have been added to the default workspace:

Adding an Ambient Dome

Python SDK and scripting API
The following functionality of Patchwork 3D is now accessible to Python scripts:

• Splicing/splitting API

Interoperability

All importers have been updated to the latest versions of third-party CAD software. We hope you enjoy these new features!
