Release 2021.1.2.14

(Released March 10, 2021)


NOTE                For a quick overview of the main features new in Pixyz Studio 2021.1, please visit this page.


Fixed

  • [API] Fixed a bug with UNC path when importing files on Windows
  • [UI] Fixed a crash when opening Studio and having Workspaces saved

Known issues

  • When Pixyz Studio is launched on a secondary monitor, the Viewer appears white and the scene is not displayed. This is issue is caused by a conflict between nVidia GPUs and another software. Check out this page for a workaround!
  • Animations exported in the USD formats (.usda, .usdc and .usdz files) might not behave properly
  • CREO files might not be properly tessellated, resulting in shattered meshes
