What's New

Many new features have been added to the release of Incari Studio 2021.5. Here is a list of the features you need to know.

• Asset Database

  The new Asset Database allows the user to easily access internal resources and reuse them. With this, it is possible to keep track of which Assets are being used and where in the Project they are.

• Camera Input for Video Objects

  Now it is possible to directly control cameras and virtual cameras. New Nodes for controlling the playback have been introduced. Thus, this allows, for example, for the user to control a rear-view camera in Incari and the video that is being obtained from it.

• Masking

  Sprite Objects can now have Vectors (or any other Sprite Object) as masks.

• Materials Improvements

  New features for working with Materials have been introduced. A Material can be created by simply dropping a texture Asset on a Mesh. Moreover, a preview of the Material on a Mesh is shown when dragging the texture Asset over.
