# What's New Many new features have been added to the release of **Incari Studio** 2022.1. Here is a list of the features you need to know. * [**Local Transformations**](/incari-studio/2022.1/objects-and-types/attributes/common-attributes/transformation/local.md) In previous versions of **Incari**, **Object** transformations could only be made in **Global space** – that is, with respect to a **Global** origin. This new release adds a new mode of transformations: **Local**. With **Local** transformations, it is possible to rotate and translate **Objects** with respect to their own axes, where previously this was only possible with respect to the **Global** axis. This new feature gives the user more freedom and control over the positioning and rotation of **Objects**. It is particularly useful in large **Projects**, where it is easier to compartmentalize and work in smaller scopes than having to deal with transformations with respect to the entire **Project**. * **Flip Normals** The new feature `Flip Normals` helps to provide a more immersive experience. It is located under `Normals` for an **Object** in the **Attribute Editor**. When the toggle is switched on, it is possible to see an applied **Material** from within an **Object**. The user can rotate, move, and scale as usual. ![](/files/wLIGCL1goNUswIu9K3hm) * **glTF files** **Incari** now supports glTF files, which can be imported and rendered. glTF is a file format for efficient transmission and loading of *3D* scenes and models. It packages all features, such as geometry, textures and shaders, into one file. The preferred version in **Incari** is glTF 2.0. This new supported file type makes it easier to incorporate external *3D* designs that are ready to use without retouching them. * [**New PBR Material**](/incari-studio/2022.1/modules/material-editor/extended-pbr-model.md) The [**Material Editor**](/incari-studio/2022.1/modules/material-editor.md) now offers a new **PBR Material**, the [**Extended PBR Material**](/incari-studio/2022.1/modules/material-editor/extended-pbr-model.md). This **Material** offers more customizable options than in previous versions. These new options include: two texture maps – one for occlusion and one for metallic roughness; optional overlay of metallic and roughness values; and a more advanced shading model that generates results with greater accuracy. * [**Prefabs**](/incari-studio/2022.1/objects-and-types/prefabs.md) [**Prefabs**](/incari-studio/2022.1/objects-and-types/prefabs.md) are now available in **Incari**. This feature is useful in allowing the user to create multiple instances of combination of **Objects** in a *User Interface*. Users can make changes to and choose characteristics for either all instances or each one separately. As such, one can easily create several **Objects** with the same functionality that also retain unique properties via overrides. Moreover, **Prefabs** have their own [**Logic**](/incari-studio/2022.1/modules/logic-editor.md) encapsulated within them. Any alterations in the **Prefab** properties or its **Logic** affect them across all of their instances. ![](/files/DAk5gt0NsL4ZN1zlc4lT) * **Plugins** The [**Plugins**](/incari-studio/2022.1/modules/plugins-editor.md) has the ability to activate or deactivate components in **Incari**. At the moment this applies to **Communication** only. For example, **Serial Manager Communication** can be toggled on and off from the **Plugins Module** with the **SerialManager** option. Deactivating **Serial Communication** stops **Incari Player** from loading anything related to it. * **Format Nodes** The new [**Format**](/incari-studio/2022.1/toolbox/string/format.md) and [**FormatArray**](/incari-studio/2022.1/toolbox/string/formatarray.md) **Nodes** allow one to use the [*printf format string*](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Printf_format_string) functionality. * **HTTP Client Node Update** The [**HTTP Client Node**](/incari-studio/2022.1/toolbox/communication/http/httpclient.md) has been overhauled and now uses an external library. In addition, it can now support *HTTPS*. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
