Caching System for Custom Uploaded Assets

‍

The newly integrated cache system offers significant performance improvements for worlds that use multiples of the same custom-uploaded assets. This system ensures that no matter how many times you duplicate a custom-uploaded asset, you’ll only have to download it once, improving both real-time performance and initial loading times for worlds. The caching system is applied not only to 3D assets, including custom 3D assets, but also to images and audio. Experience faster loading and smoother performance with our new caching system, which optimizes the use of custom-uploaded assets, images, and audio.

New File Picker

In the past, you could add URLs to objects for people to click and discover. Now, you can choose whether those links should open in a new tab or the same tab as V-BLDR. Opening links in the same tab is an easy way to directly link and connect multiple of your worlds. Simply include a link to your other experience as part of your current experience and have it open in the same tab. Effortlessly integrate multiple experiences by using the new same-tab link functionality, creating a smooth and interconnected user journey.

The new Color Picker and Texture Picker allow you to change the visuals of objects in the VLGE library.

If an object has many materials, you have one picker for each material.

Personalize the appearance of objects using our intuitive color and texture pickers, empowering you to craft unique experiences tailored to your vision.
