# 2020.1.9.0 - April 1, 2020

#### Platform

* Virtual Photographer Basic Scenes
  * When you render, you now have the option to select a Scene asset to use for the environment
    1. Create a scene and add the appropriate lights and environment
    2. Add a model null to act as the placeholder for your Catalog Item
    3. In Logic, add a new asset reference attribute called “Asset”
    4. Add a new rule to set the model null using the “Asset” value
  * When you render, if you select that Scene, your Catalog Item will be placed in that scene to be used for the render
* Virtual Photographer Part references
  * Rendering now supports Catalog Items with Part References one level deep (e.g. a sofa with swappable fabrics or legs) so you can render swappable parts at scale

#### Bugs

* Loading progress bar is back
