Hello everyone! It's official, Kodon V1.0 will be out of Early Access on December 17th 2021. With your help and feedback we have arrived to a point in development where we believe Kodon's sculpting tools are ready for release. We have worked really hard and so here's what you can expect for V1.0 on December 17th:

Stability
Performance improvements
Better UI/UX
No more conversion issues
GPU based voxels
Bug fixes
As you can see, Model room is not included in the changes planned for Kodon V1.0 2021. It will still be available for all users to keep testing but it will not be on the same level of development as the sculpting tools. Model room's turn in development comes on 2022, where we plan on improving the overall functionality and experience. If you haven't acquired Kodon yet, this is the time to add it to your wishlist since there will be a release discount running! Development of Kodon will continue after release with more important and fun features to be added along 2022. Please look forward to it and be a part of the Kodon journey!

Hi everyone! Here is the promised update from last week! These are the most important changes that you will find:

We have added the kitbash library. You should be able to find it on the polybrush option in Sculpt mode. This library is unfortunately not available in the Volume room yet, but we will let you know when that is the case.
Kodon can now detect whether it crashed the last session, and prompt the user for a recovery file when restarting the program.
General tablet support, especially for non Wacom tablets. Please give this one a try, we would really like to know how this behaves with your setup.
Fixed a memory leak (Sculpt room).
Smaller delay post stroke on big models (Sculpt room).
Faster .kob and .kop load and save.
Save for correct multiresolution levels.
Please give these changes a try and let us know how they're working for you by sending any feedback and issues you may have to [email protected] and we will try to resolve them together with your help. I also want to thank you all that have taken the time to answer our survey. It's extremely helpful for us! Please, if you haven't responded to the survey and you have 10-15 minutes to spare, it would be awesome to have your input! If you haven't checked it out yet, we have begun writing documentation about Kodon. We will continue to update it and you can find it here. And lastly, like I mentioned last week, we are going into a heavy period of development, where we will aim to deliver the next improvements:

UI/UX changes
Remesh fix
Conversion issues fix
Thanks so much for always supporting Kodon and the team! Brianda <3 PSA: if you find any problems, please downgrade by right clicking on Kodon's name in your Steam library, then choose properties -> betas -> previous_version.

Hi everyone! There is a new update coming soon! It will include: Kitbashing library and Recovery file option amongst others. We hope you enjoy it! This is going to be the last update for quite a few weeks because of:

Hard focus on getting rid of the remesher issues. We're not quitting until it's done!
Tackling the conversion issues.
Bugfixing of other small yet annoying issues.
UI/UX, implementing a new VR menu. We hope it will make navigating in Kodon much easier.

It will only take a few minutes of your time. We appreciate the support! Thanks so much and have a great weekend! Brianda <3

Hi everyone, I wanted to leave you this week with a few changes on the build and this is what you can expect:

Undo bug fixes
Better GPU memory profile
Duplicated objects saved to .kob or .kop didn't load properly; they do now.
Fixes on problems with triggering smooth or mask in the middle of a draw session, thus losing data.
Radial menu for layout room
Minor bugfixes
Voxel clay color fix
FBX export bugfix
A very early, experimental GPU version of cloth sim is in the menu, please be mindful when using it and save your progress.
We continue the work on a better UI/UX, so as soon as that is ready you will be seeing it here. We have also added a first draft of technical documentation for Kodon on the Guides tab here on Steam. Please keep in mind that this is still very basic and we will continuously update and improve it as manpower and development allows. Thanks for all the support, comments and bug reports, we really appreciate them! Please share your art made in Kodon with us, we'd love to see it! Have a great week! Brianda <3

Hi there Kodon enthusiasts! Like mentioned on the title, we have changed the way Kodon fundamentally works, trying to make a significant improvement on performance by utilizing the power of the GPU. The sculpting process now takes place here! Here's what you can expect in regards to changes:

Multiresolution
GPU Accelerated sculpting tools (Tool speed is ALOT faster, this is the biggest improvement)
Brush Feel Greatly improved (Our second biggest improvement)
Improved Lighting
FBX, OBJ Import export improvements (vertex color)
Insert Mesh brush (Great for concepting)
UI improvements, including object naming (another update with bigger changes here is expected to be ready very soon)
This update has unfortunately still some issues in the following criteria:

Remesh
Conversion
Symmetry
Multiresolution
Model Room is mostly unchanged: no changes on UI or bugs in this room.
Cloth Sim is currently unavailable in this update as we restructure Kodon and we hope to fix these issues in following builds, however, if you opt into the previous_version branch you can find cloth there. Please give this a try and send any feedback that you may encounter our way. Don't hesitate to let us know everything: from bugs and aspects that are unintuitive to the things you love from this version so we know not to mess with them! Write to us here on the discussions or on any of our Social Media platforms. We'll try to engage as much as possible. And one thing, if you like this update, please let others know so in the reviews! Help us spread the word that Kodon is growing! Have a great week everyone! Brianda <3

What we're working on...
Hi friends! I wanted to hop over here since it has been a little while since the last update and we want to let you know what's going on. Kodon is going through a phase of UI/UX fixes. We hope to have better menus as well as an overall smoother user experience. We're working hard
Hi friends! I wanted to hop over here since it has been a little while since the last update and we want to let you know what's going on.

Kodon is going through a phase of UI/UX fixes. We hope to have better menus as well as an overall smoother user experience.
We're working hard on performance, trying to improve the resource consumption and give you a higher polycount on your sculpts without compromising on fps.
We're also slowly but surely scratching out the bugs that still persist: Conversion and Remesh, as well as other smaller ones.
All of this is aimed at improving the workflow, UX, and generally give you guys a pleasant feeling when working in Kodon. ... oh, and Multiresolution is also coming soon ;) You will be hearing from me as I bring you the updates in the next few weeks. I hope everyone's had a nice Easter holiday! Thanks for the support! Brianda <3
