We thought we’d share with you what we’re working on…
Of course, we’re always striving to improve the VitaSim experience and we have several exciting projects and upgrades in the pipeline to ensure just that. Here are a few highlights of some of the new features we’ll be implementing over the course of the summer.
OBJECT PACKAGES & CLOUD STORAGE
3D objects will be separated from the software and will instead be made available as subject specific packages through our cloud-based platform solution. This means we’ll be able to offer a wider range of 3D objects and it’ll be a lot easier to find objects that are relevant to you. It also means, you’ll get access to the newest 3D objects without having to install a new software package. All in all, it’ll make the authoring experience simpler, more efficient and increase accessibility.
Expected release: beginning of Q3.
UPLOAD OF CUSTOM 3D OBJECTS
Due to popular demand, we’ll make it possible for you to upload your own 3D objects. In technical terms, the web portal will support upload of 3D models in FBX format. In the first iteration of “custom upload of 3D models”, we will limit object formats to be .FBX and polygon size to be less than 5000 polygons. This new feature will allow you to create even more realistic environments.
Expected release: beginning of Q3.
IMPROVED AUTHORING FLOW & UI
The UI and workflow need updating. We’ll be redesigning the user interface to better suit our users’ needs and authoring patterns, and we’ll make common menu features easier to access. It’ll ensure a much smoother authoring experience.
Expected release: end of Q3.
We’re very excited about the new features and updates and we hope you’ll be too!
We’ll keep you in the loop and let you know as they become available.
