What's new in JahShaka 3.0 Build 0.8.1 Beta
Nov 11, 2019
- Welcome to the Jahshaka 0.8.1 release! A year in the making and rebuilt from the ground up with a powerful new node based materials and effects system with real time previews. Our new materials will be used in all scenes moving ahead to allow for the dynamic creation of high quality environments.
- Key features of the release:
- Material Editor - create amazing materials with our new node based material builder
- Physics - now fully integrated, enable collision detection and set physical properties on all objects
- Use hands in VR mode - grab and throw objects
- Multiple sky types for more immersive environments
- Ambient Audio - set background audio for scenes
- And, as usual, many bug-fixes, cleanups, better workflows and a much more powerful application. We have also discontinued work on the miner since it kept getting us flagged as malware and there are many consumer friendly mining tools available now.
- Publishing:
- The Jahshaka player is going to be repurposed as a publishing tool moving ahead, so users will be able to export their creations as standalone applications that will run on the industry leading VR headsets. This will give you one-click publishing in the 0.9.0 release.
