# 2021.2.0 - January 14, 2021
Environments
`Preview`, `Admin-FTS`
###
### Augmented Reality
**Generate AR** at scale to create the fastest experiences and review AR assets. We’ve expanded the Render workflow to include AR as an output type. Select AR and whether you want to generate `glb` (Android) or `USDZ` (Apple).
**Rapid Compact asset optimization** library has been added to crunch `glb` and `usdz` assets for the best file size. Using ‘Rapid Compact Commands’ you can set specific optimization settings. You can save and reuse these settings using the `Preset` feature.
*Please note that this is a pay-per-use service, speak to our Customer Success team to learn more*
### Assets
**Add Asset** screen has been updated to group asset types and provide sub-types via dropdowns:
**Material Proxy Operator** provides the ability to create a “universal material” that can be used across experiences: you can specify a separate material for WebGL 3D, Virtual Photography using VRay, and for Augmented Reality to generate the best experiences. This also means that you can use one Catalog record to reference a single Proxy Material.
Convert any existing materials to a Proxy Material using the “Convert” button in the Properties Panel:
Your original Material is retained and you are provided slots for alternative Materials by output type:
You can also use logic to set these values:
### Performance
**Performance Best Practices** has been published and is available [here](/learn/workflows/best-practices/performance-considerations.md). The best practices help with optimization assets, using caching, and the player loading improvements we’ve implemented.
### Bugs / Cases
GL6254 - Asset autosave doesn’t work with custom scripts\
GL6350 - Clara importer doesn’t work with async scengraph refactor
