Hello there, 👋🏻
We're back again for some amazing news!
New Features 💫
With this release, we are bringing Mixed Reality features to the Standalone version!* Start blending real and virtual worlds together and open up new possibilities for mixed reality experiences.
*Only the StellarX Standalone version (accessible via the Meta Quest Store), combined with either a Quest 2 or Quest Pro will fully support the Mixed Reality features for now.
Improvements 👍🏾
- We redesigned our Sign in experience in the PC-VR version to bring a more immersed feeling right from the start! Also, selecting your boot option when launching StellarX from Steam will actually apply your selection properly. In consequence, we removed the Mode Selection page that was present at the start, so that you land directly on the login screen.
- We improved the performance of our Time of Day system.
We added many improvements to the Basecamp:
- A selected section will remain highlighted whether it is unfocused from the panel or not.
- First time users with no Space will be suggested to create a Space from a Template initially.
- first time users will be suggested to experience the Onboarding when first landing to the Basecamp.
- We reduced the lag when displaying Space previews.
- We now display an error message when one or many external assets could not be imported properly.
- We renamed and restructured our Collections by also adding different icons for different types of Collections.
- We added a quick Collections button in Desktop mode to facilitate its access.
- We added tags over animated assets to make them easier to find.
Bug Fixes 🐞
