# What's New Many new features have been added to the release of **Incari Studio** 2022.2. Here is a list of the features you need to know. ## **New Camera System** On this release, a new **Camera** system has been introduced. With it, each **Scene** comes with a default **Camera** **Object** that is set to be the **Scene's** **Player Camera**, which is the **Camera** used when a **Scene** is initialized. This can be configured in the **Scene's** **Attributes**. Now, **Camera** **Objects** are treated as any other **Object** in **Incari** and the view of a **Scene** is configured directly in them. Moreover, any number of **Cameras** can be used in a **Scene** and be managed through the evolution of a **Scene** in the **Logic** with the new **Camera Nodes**. **Camera Objects** now have new features: * **Picture-in-Picture**: By selecting a **Camera** in the **Scene Outliner**, the user can see in the bottom-right corner of the **Viewport** how the **Scene** looks like through that **Camera**. * **Look Through**: Mode that allows the user to see in the **Viewport** what a **Camera** shows. * **Proxies**: **Cameras** in the **Viewport** are displayed with their **Proxies**, which show which part of the **Scene** they will render. See more about **Camera Objects**: * [**Camera Object**](/incari-studio/2022.2/objects-and-types/scene-objects/camera.md) See more about [**Camera Nodes**](/incari-studio/2022.2/toolbox/incari/camera.md): * [**Get Active Camera**](/incari-studio/2022.2/toolbox/incari/camera/get-active-camera.md) * [**Get All Cameras**](/incari-studio/2022.2/toolbox/incari/camera/get-all-cameras.md) * [**Set Active Camera**](/incari-studio/2022.2/toolbox/incari/camera/set-active-camera.md) ## **2D Workflow** Previously in **Incari**, *2D* and *3D* components coexisted in the same space. However, workflow was very *3D*-oriented, regardless of the dimensionality of an **Object**. Now **Incari** offers [**Scene2Ds**](/incari-studio/2022.2/objects-and-types/project-objects/scene2d.md) alongside [**Scenes**](/incari-studio/2022.2/objects-and-types/project-objects/scene.md). **Scenes** continue to provide whatever a user would need in *3D* space. **Scene2Ds** supply the user with the option for a *2D* workflow, providing an imperative facet to *User Interface* design. In **Scene2Ds**, the workspace is truly only in two dimensions, in pixel space. For the order of **Objects**, an index is no longer required. Whatever way the **Objects** are listed in the **Scene Outliner** -- chosen by the user -- decides the order in which they are displayed. Since *2D* and *3D* are now treated separately in **Incari**, [**Overlay Objects**](/incari-studio/2022.2/objects-and-types/scene-objects/overlay.md) have been created to bridge this so-called gap. This way, the user can specify a **Scene2D** to be rendered on top of a *3D* **Scene**. New **2D Objects** for exclusive use in **Scene2Ds** have been introduced and are described in detail [here](/incari-studio/2022.2/objects-and-types/scene2d-objects.md). There are also new **Nodes** of exclusive use in **Scene2Ds**: * [**Get Slider Value**](/incari-studio/2022.2/toolbox/incari/object/getslidervalue.md) * [**Set Slider Value**](/incari-studio/2022.2/toolbox/incari/object/setslidervalue.md) And already existing **Nodes** have now a version for **Scene2Ds**: * [**Get Position**](/incari-studio/2022.2/toolbox/incari/object/get-position.md) * [**Set Position**](/incari-studio/2022.2/toolbox/incari/object/set-position.md) * [**Get Rotation**](/incari-studio/2022.2/toolbox/incari/object/get-rotation.md) * [**Set Rotation**](/incari-studio/2022.2/toolbox/incari/object/set-rotation.md) * [**Get Size**](/incari-studio/2022.2/toolbox/incari/object/get-size.md) * [**Set Size**](/incari-studio/2022.2/toolbox/incari/object/set-size-pixel.md) ## **Virtual Reality and Mixed Reality** Use **Incari** to take your *HMI* **Projects** to the next level by integrating Virtual and Mixed Reality, such as with virtual prototyping, vehicle maintenence, or immersive showrooms. **Incari** **Studio** supports *Varjo API* and *OpenXR* and is optimized for both Virtual Reality and Mixed Reality. In future releases, Augmented Reality will also be sustained. ## [**Tags**](/incari-studio/2022.2/objects-and-types/attributes/common-attributes/tag.md) A new **Attribute** has been introduced for all **Objects** in **Incari**: *Tags*. *Tags* are simple labels linked to **Objects** and are managed in the **Attribute Editor**, where they can be created, deleted, and edited. These *tags* allow the user to group and link different **Objects** under the same *tag*. There are also **Nodes** that allow the user to manage *tags* in the **Logic**. These are: * [**Add Tag**](/incari-studio/2022.2/toolbox/incari/object/add-tag.md), which adds a *tag* to an **Object**. * [**Get Objects By Tag**](/incari-studio/2022.2/toolbox/incari/object/get-objects-by-tag.md), which returns all **Objects** that share a specified *tag*. * [**Remove Tag**](/incari-studio/2022.2/toolbox/incari/object/remove-tag.md), which removes a *tag* from an **Object**. * [**Get Tag**](/incari-studio/2022.2/toolbox/incari/object/get-tag.md), which returns the *tag* of an **Object**. ## **New Scene Objects** This version of **Incari** introduces three new **Scene Objects**. They are: * [**Audio**](/incari-studio/2022.2/objects-and-types/scene-objects/audio.md):\ The new **Audio Objects** let the user incorporate aural information into a *User Interface*, such as music or recorded speech. Currently, only `.mp3` files are supported, but more formats are anticipated to follow in the future. * [**Lottie Sprite**](/incari-studio/2022.2/objects-and-types/scene-objects/lottie-sprite.md): **Incari** now has a way to display `.lottie` files, a very popular file format for animations. These **Objects** provide the user with extended possibilities for visual creativity within a *User Interface*. Moreover, **Nodes** for managing *Lottie* animations have been introduced: * [**Play Lottie**](/incari-studio/2022.2/toolbox/incari/lottie/play-lottie.md) * [**Pause Lottie**](/incari-studio/2022.2/toolbox/incari/lottie/pause-lottie.md) * [**Stop Lottie**](/incari-studio/2022.2/toolbox/incari/lottie/stop-lottie.md) Also, new **Event Nodes** for *Lottie* animations have been added: * [**On Lottie Play**](/incari-studio/2022.2/toolbox/events/lottie/on-lottie-play.md) * [**On Lottie Pause**](/incari-studio/2022.2/toolbox/events/lottie/on-lottie-pause.md) * [**On Lottie Stop**](/incari-studio/2022.2/toolbox/events/lottie/on-lottie-stop.md) * [**On Lottie Finish**](/incari-studio/2022.2/toolbox/events/lottie/on-lottie-finish.md) * [**Overlay**](/incari-studio/2022.2/objects-and-types/scene-objects/overlay.md): Related to the new **2D Workflow**, **Overlay Objects** allow the user to mix *3D* and *2D* **Scenes** by overlaying **Scene2Ds** on top of *3D* **Scenes**. ## [**Structure of Objects in a Scene**](/incari-studio/2022.2/objects-and-types/scene-objects.md#structure-in-a-scene) [**Objects**](/incari-studio/2022.2/objects-and-types/scene-objects.md) in a [**Scene**](/incari-studio/2022.2/objects-and-types/project-objects/scene.md) now have the structure of a *tree*. This means that every **Object** except for the [**Root Object**](/incari-studio/2022.2/objects-and-types/scene-objects.md#root-object) has a *parent* and that all **Objects** may have *children*. Furthermore, any **Object** can be made into the *child* of any other **Object** in the **Scene**. **Nodes** to retrieve information about the **Scene Structure** were introduced as well: * [**Get Children**](/incari-studio/2022.2/toolbox/incari/object/get-children.md) * [**Get Parent**](/incari-studio/2022.2/toolbox/incari/object/get-parent.md) * [**Get Root**](/incari-studio/2022.2/toolbox/incari/object/get-root.md) * [**Has Children**](/incari-studio/2022.2/toolbox/incari/object/has-children.md) ## **New Nodes and Node Updates** Besides the **Nodes** related to new features that are specified above, several new **Nodes** have been introduced with this release while some existent ones have had major updates.
