Release notes for Blendkit 3.7.0 🔗

🔄 Better Upload Handling: Not all textures packed correctly? No problem! Our updated upload process handles it like a champ!​

🖼️ Thumbnail Rendering Completion Fix: We noticed that the GUI might not always indicate when automatic thumbnail renders had successfully completed. That's been corrected - now, every render's finish line is clearly visible in the GUI, ensuring you're always up-to-date with your thumbnail's status.

👌 UI Fixes: We've ironed out a few wrinkles in our UI, fixing an issue with the complexity display and sprucing up the upload interface for a smoother experi​ence.

🚨 Thumbnail Download Failure Indication: A new feature sets a distinct icon when a thumbnail download task encounters an error, providing clear visibility of any issues.

🛠️ Enhanced Error Handling: No more scratching your head over server issues! Our system now raises a red flag for server response codes higher than 399, catching issues right away and letting you what was wrong.

🔎 More Detailed Error Reporting: Say hello to our beefed-up error handling process, delivering detailed error messages which will help with debugging and solving problems.

🚦 Failed Rating Visibility: Ever uploaded a rating and wondered if it went through? Wonder no more! Failed rating uploads are now shown more clearly, so you're always in the loop.

🎛️ Complexity Display Fix: We've addressed a rare but pesky bug that sometimes hid complexity from the wh enum UI. Now, complexity will always stand in the spotlight where it belongs!

⚙️ Updated Dependencies: We've brought all our dependencies up-to-date, providing you with the latest and greatest secure codebase.

At Blendkit, we love to dream. Although our library was originally created for Blender, we often wondered what it would be like to use it in other software. Our developers took on the challenge and created new plugins for Maya, Godot, and Rhino.
