Full and Demo release

Whilst work on the GPU rendering continues we decided to release Avoyd 0.20 Full and Demo, adding features and fixes you requested:

• Reference grids to the Edit Tool to help with precision builds.
• New tool “Shine Sun Here” to help lighting scenes for rendering.
• 30 deg Isometric camera presets.
• Auto render.

In addition, Avoyd 0.20 has fixes for:

• .vox import/export materials and multi-model issues.
• renderer denoised images auto-saved when unfinished (perils of multi-threading).
• file browser ordering.

Details and more in the release notes.

Both the Full version and the Demo are up to date. Download

Avoyd is on Itch.io

In other news our payment provider of 6 years tried to charge us a hidden fee. We decided to start using itch.io. We’d already planned for it so we only had to make small modifications to our website. Sales on our enkisoftware website work the same way as before but are handled by itch.io. In addition we’ve added the itch.io widget to avoyd.com.

As of two days ago, Avoyd has a page on Itch.io focusing on the voxel editor: enkisoftware.itch.io/avoyd

We appreciate your feedback: feel free to rate Avoyd!

We’re looking forward to you being able to use the GPU renderer in a future release. In the meantime here are a couple of quick videos Doug recorded to show progress:
