Here's What's New!
Inventory App: When you open the Inventory app, you have immediate access to your purchased items, recent Marketplace and Commerce activity, and your wallet. Use this app to:
- Change avatars, put on wearables, and install/update apps
- View your recent purchases, sales, and gifts
- Send HFC to your friends or anyone nearby
- 3D Keyboard: Our native 3D keyboard lets you type with both hands while in HMD.
Teleport Animations: When other users teleport, you will see them move smoothly between their locations.
Steam Login for Android Users: Android users can now use Steam to login to High Fidelity.
Flow Support for Single Bones: Our flow.js script now supports adding flow movement to single bonechains. If you have an MMD or other avatars with single bones, you no longer need to manually edit them to add extra joints.
New Documentation has been added:
- Create an Avatar with Flow
- Uploading Your Avatar and Environment to the Marketplace
- Avatar Scripts
- We now collapse the sub-books of the table of contents so that you can more easily navigate to the topics that matter to you.
