This is our first update on the store! We have a contest underway and we believe this update will make a world of difference for the participants. From now on it will be possible to lock objects, and name your spaces. We also have 2 new space examples, more icons, along with a lot of improvements and fixes.

Lock objects

The locker tool allows you to lock any element in the scene so that you, or someone joining your session, doesn't mess it up by mistake. The lock affects objects for all users in space.

Name your spaces

You can give names to your spaces now. It should make it easier to distinguish between your spaces when you look at them from the lobby.

Use new icons and a wireframe cube in your designs & prototypes, explore new examples

Import to Unity

Despite the fact It was already possible to import your scene into Unity, we decided to adda short instruction in the app asking to open shapes.app/unity to access the plugin. It’s super easy to use, just enter the space code in the plugin and press “Import”.

Enjoy ShapesXR even more with a lot of fixes, optimizations, and small improvements

• Made a quick color palette for the text tool. The palette appears near the text tool, so you can quickly choose a color for your text
• Made undo & redo work correctly when a user goes back to space from a pause
• Made spaces to unload from memory when the device is low on memory
• Optimized generation UI geometry
• Added asynchronous geometry baking for the physics system
• Made cloud-based space previews. We now store previews in the cloud, so they update for all people when spaces change
• Implemented asynchronous warmup of shaders when the application starts
• Turned off highlight for objects when grabbing them by Gizmo handles
• Made it possible to switch between local and world Gizmo mode from a Gizmo’s handle
• Improved importing and downloading of models and images on a poor internet connection
• Improved the touch interaction
• Improved lasso selection
