2023.5v1

  • New Python 3.10 API for Autograph Studio. You can now completely automate Autograph, react to events with Python code and extend it with custom PySide panels and more. Checkout the developer documentation

  • Floating license servers are now available for studios and schools

  • The Project Panel now has a tree view mode, to quickly navigate in a project with a deep hierarchy of folders

  • New Hardware accelerated encoding support for AV1 using Nvenc (NVIDIA), AMF (AMD) or Quick Sync (Intel).

  • Camera Layer: The Camera Layer can now import an animated camera from any 3D Scenes or USD assets in the project Panel. This is useful to import a pre-tracked Camera from a third-party software (such as Syntheyes, Nuke or Blender)

  • Camera Menu: New Cameras can now be created from the current view in the Viewer Panel, even when looking through an existing camera. The name of the camera is now displayed in the camera section of the Viewer Panel, and a color code is now displayed on the camera logo:

  • If looking through a non moveable camera, the logo is orange/red

  • If looking through the Free Camera or any moveable camera, the logo is white
  • If looking through a moveable camera, and that the Lock to Viewport Camera button is on, the logo is Blue. This means that Camera movement in the Viewer Panel will be authored on the selected camera.

  • Resolution Gate now also respects this color code.

  • It is no longer possible to override a Camera Prim in a 3D Scene. Instead the new workflow is to use the Camera Layer and the new Import Button to use existing camera from an USD Asset or a Scene. However, you can still create brand new cameras.

  • Properties Panel: A new lock option allows to keep a dock active in the panel without changing with the active selection. You can now create multiple Properties Panel to easily navigate between multiple docks.

  • Fix multiple stability issues and bugs
