Gizmos Are Here!
We're excited to bring you editor gizmos for Condos!
You can also get really precise with the gizmo properties panel, shown below.
We hope you enjoy more creative freedom and an easier building experience in your condos!
Also, you can now lock items in place (so you don't accidentally move them) by right clicking and hitting the lock button.
Workshop Changes
Creators, we've added a couple more options for your player models! In this update, you can now adjust shoulder width, shoulder placement, and floating pet offsets.
Shoulder width is very useful to fix models whose arms are resting inside of bodies. Oh yeah, also, workshop player models with small scales no longer move slowly.
We've also added some material settings! We've added emissive, toon shader, and transparency support. When editing your item's metadata, you'll now see a material tab where you can adjust these settings per material.
For translucency support, simply check on translucency on the material you want to be translucent and it'll use the alpha channel of your albedo texture (you must use TGA).
We'll be continuing to add more material settings soon. We'll be updating the SDK page for more details soon.
More Emotes!
In this update, we've added 4 more emotes, including agree and disagree. Our animators will continue to create even more emotes.
More Ways To Vote On Your Favorite Workshop Items
Support workshop creators in more ways. We've added vote, favorite, and block buttons to various places where workshop items come into play, such as editing workshop items, appearance menu, and action menu.
Also, you can now see your favorited player models in the appearance editor.
