Release Notes
Important information about Pixyz Studio 2024
For the 2024 release, Pixyz Studio has been entirely re-written on top of the new Pixyz SDK. It is for Pixyz team a way to ensure all of our products benefit from the latest innovations (new import/export formats or optimization algorithms) and bug fixes in Pixyz Core technology, which are continuously added to Pixyz SDK. In the process, we removed a few legacy features: Measurement Tool, Advanced Search, Plugin Editor.
From version 2024 onwards, Pixyz Studio focuses on interactive data preparation tasks, still helped by a Python API interface to enhance its out-of-the-box capabilities (see the API Changelog).
Pixyz SDK comes with a dedicated UI as the companion app to support the scripting experience (PixyzUI). Still, Pixyz Studio continues to be a great sandbox to test and discover Pixyz import/export and mesh processing technologies.

The Statistics panels have been improved: readability is better, all statistics are updated to the selection (including dimensions).
