  • Drawing code and search parsing code are both several times faster and threads are handled better. This means much smoother interaction when the Asset bar is active.
  • Asset bar is completely rewritten in a new UI library, which will help us to implement some new cool features.
  • All assets support drag-drop, many UI interactions were improved. Many corner cases have popup info.
  • Drag-drop is available also from the popup menu.

  • Search filters and categories are available from header UI too, several filters were added
  • HDRs are now by default filtered so that only real HDRs are shown. All other low-dynamic-range panoramas can be enabled by disabling the filter.
