August 2023 Release

Enhanced Visuals - Tonemapping and Bloom

The bloom effect for Interactive 3D has been greatly improved allowing for more brilliant effects and your products to be shown in the best possible light.

This improvement can be achieved by using the new HDR Player tonemapping feature, listed in the Scene properties:

The HDR feature allows the postprocessing effects like Bloom to make the color calculations more accurately, resulting in richer results.

Old Bloom effect vs. New Bloom Effect

The Bloom settings will likely need to be adjusted after enabling the HDR feature, to account for the higher dynamic range.

2D Player Performance Improvement

A new 2D only player has been introduced and greatly optimizes performance, with a size 47% smaller than the full player. This means that your customers are spending less time waiting for images to load, and more time exploring your products.
