[h3]Roadmap and news[/h3]
[h3]Documentation and tutorials[/h3]

[h3]New features[/h3]

3D material edition. With shader parameters (allowing, for example, to add an indexation palette per material)

Each material property can be animated !

One material can be used on multiple objects. A button indicates the number of references. You can click on it to make the current material unique.

Added copy/paste for resources.

[h3]Changes[/h3]

Selected object now has separated tabs (object, materials and particles).

As the palette input can be used in multiple places, the palette color picker tool has been moved from the main tools to the input palette tools.

PixelOver 0.12.3 Improved trails

Hello, this update is improving the trails system to prepare the particles system update.

[h3]Roadmap and news[/h3]
[h3]Documentation and tutorials[/h3]

[h3]New features[/h3]

Trails now work on 2D and 3D meshes. Performance also greatly improved.

[h3]Changes[/h3]

Improved 3D lights tools (Added the light icon, and less confusing lines when the light isn't selected)

Mesh2d should now use children bones. This will prevent transform issue and it will be less confusing to manage.

If your project currently uses mesh2d with bones the configuration will not be lost but the bones will not affect the mesh,

so you will just need to drag'n'drop the bones into the mesh to let it work again.

Inputs have now a custom to slide/edit, and a margin before the sliding start so it will be easier to edit instead of slide.
