StellarX News

Hello there, 👋🏻

As the Holiday season nears, we've been working very hard to bring you some festive surprises this Christmas. 🎄 Here's what you can expect...



New Features 💫

• Check out the new Collisions feature!
  

We added the possibility to select the desired collision type for your asset through the Remix Panel. This will empower you to control exactly how you want your assets to behave in your experiences.

• For basic and performant collisions, select the Box Collider.
  
• For more precise and immersive collisions, select the Convex Collider.
  
• For very precise, but non physical* collisions, select the Concave Collider.
  

*Because Concave assets have a collider applied all around them instead of over them like Convex assets, the "Is Physical" Remix cannot be activated due to performance implications. You will still be able to collide other assets onto them, but gravity and force won't be applied to the concave assets. We recommend using them only for very precise environmental assets, or when you need them to contain other assets (shelves, containers, boxes, etc.).


Improvements 👍🏾

• Following our new Collision feature, we have greatly improved the visual of our Remix Panel. Check out this "before-after"; sweet, eh?!
  

• A Color field was added to the Glow Node, to give the users more flexibility.
  

• We have improved how we handle Voice Sessions in Multiplayer. Users that get disconnected or timed out after a long period of inactivity are now being reconnected automatically when coming back to their Session.
  

Bug Fixes 🐞

• Fixed a problem with the Canvas Zoom / Unzoom, where doing the action when first opening a Canvas would trigger the action twice.
  
• Fixed an issue where Canvases could be opened and brought in Preview mode.
  
• Fixed an issue where selecting a Mechanical asset as a Node Reference would get difficult because the pointer would not collide properly with the asset itself.
  
• Fixed an issue where avatar orientations in Multiplayer would sometimes mismatch the actual orientation of the user.
  
• Fixed an issue where undoing the creation of a Starting Point would leave you with no more Starting Point, instead of returning it to its initial position in the Space.
  
• Fixed an issue where Remixing the volume of a Media Panel would impact audios, but not videos.
  
• Fixed a problem that prevented some users to Remix Particle Systems.
  

We wish you all amazing Holidays. See you all in the New Year. 🎉

Hello StellarX creators! 👋🏽

It's time to be fool present in the metaverse. It's time when reality meets virtuality. Welcome to human-kind avatars.


New Features 💫

• Come check out our new Avatars! Select your Avatar from a diverse selection and enjoy a truly immersive experience by joining Multiplayer sessions with your friends and coworkers!
  

• Moreover, we reworked the Voice Spatialization by ensuring audio sources are correctly aligned with the new Avatars and optimizing spatialized audio thresholds to make your conversations more captivating and enjoyable.
  
• Finally, we combined the Voice feature with the new Avatars by adding voice recognition so that your Avatar lip syncs what you say! You will now be able to see each others talking during Multiplayer sessions.
  

Improvements 👍🏻

• We added a Settings Panel to your Canvas so that you can easily remix your Canvas parameters. This feature will also allow us to customize and add more features to the Canvas in the future. Stay tuned!
  

Bug Fixes 🐞

• Fixed an issue where downloading one of your own Space would not load the Space media correctly.
  
• Fixed an issue where a downloading Space preview was not displaying the correct Space.
  
• Fixed an issue where canceling the download of a Space would prevent you from downloading it a second time.
  
• Fixed an issue where duplicating a downloaded Space would make its Media Panels unplayable and its media invisible.
  
• Fixed an issue where imported assets would have offset bounding boxes.
  
• Fixed a UI issue where texts in Audio Sphere Remix Panel would overlap with each other.
  
• Fixed an issue with the Glow Node were glowing an asset twice in a row would instead multiply the glow intensity.
  
• Fixed an issue where you would be able to input negative values in the Glow Node.
  
• Fixed an issue where the size of your Space would not be calculated properly by excluding external media.
  
• Fixed an issue with Media Panel play button where it would not reset when a media finishes playing and was not set to either Autoplay or Loop.
  

So, get fancy, wear your coolest outfit; we are going into the Metaverse. Ready?

Hello everyone! 👋🏽

For the last weeks, we have been sailing steadily ⚓ to bring you a new aquatic template. Check it out.

New Features 💫

• We added a new Template: the Empty Water Space! You can now enjoy building new environments on top of the water.
  

Improvements 👍🏻

• We added the remaining download bandwidth information. You can find it in the Download section of the Basecamp. Therefore you will have a better idea of what Spaces you can download before reaching your monthly limit.
  

Bug Fixes 🐞

• Fixed an imported issue where imported assets would look different when placed in StellarX. The emissive and metallic maps are now reapplied properly. Sorry for the inconvenience!
  
• Fixed an issue where using a quick rotation on a Path would make the Path Lines stop following the Path Points.
  

Keep creating in the metaverse with StellarX.
