⚡ IMPROVEMENTS
🔧 Optimization — Performance where It matters We know that speed and stability are everything when you're deep in a project. That's why we've made performance improvements:
- GPU ↔ CPU Simulation switching: You can now seamlessly switch between GPU and CPU simulation, giving you the flexibility to optimize performance based on your hardware setup
- Draping in design mode: Add draping items directly in design mode — no more workflow interruptions or mode-switching just to get the drape right
- Penetration-free and Smart pinching are now enabled by default, so you get a cleaner, more accurate simulation experience right out of the box
🖼 High-Quality render — A cleaner, smarter capture experience Rendering is one of the most important parts of the design process
- Only the Rendering panel shown in HQ Render mode
- Capture folder opens automatically after saving
- Updated icon, dialog title & button placement
🛠 ETC — The details that make the difference Sometimes it's the smaller updates that have the biggest impact on your day-to-day work:
- Shirring, zipper fabrics & thumbnails updated
- Smarter Ctrl+A — adapts to the active tool
- Custom zipper handles auto-saved to in-file folder
