Client
Features
- Optimized Bandwidth Usage - Sansar uses less network bandwidth and runs more efficiently than ever before.
- Improved Audio Volume Rendering - Improved stereo panning of 3D audio emitters.
- Added support for ambisonic playback via the AmbiX (ACN/SN3D) format - You can now add ambisonic audio soundfields to your scenes. Think of ambisonic audio as a "skybox for sound" — it surrounds the listener with each source in the track precisely placed in 3D space... great for immersive audio! Before importing your ".wav" file, make sure to rename the extension to ".ambix". Learn more in the "Ambisonic sounds" article.
- Improved Touch Control Scrolling - Now you can navigate the Atlas more quickly in VR - using Touch Controls, just hold the right thumbstick to scroll.
- “Visit Scene” Button in VR - The Visit Scene button has been added on the My Projects app when in VR mode. With this added button, you can now visit unlisted scenes that you created without the need to go into edit mode first.
- Right-Clicking on the Scene Object List - Now you can right click on objects in the Scene Objects window in edit mode. This allows you to access operations such as duplicate, lock, delete, and open the properties window. More options to come soon!
- Scripting API Updates - you can now do more with C# scripting. These changes include:
- Added support for public Vector4 parameters in edit properties.
- Lindenlab.Script.Log - Added a new logging API script for debugging.
- RigidBodyComponent::Get Mass - added script support for computing and retrieving the mass of an object.
- Agent.PersonaId, Scene.FindAgent(PersonaId), SceneInfo.FindAgentInfo(PersonaId), ExperienceInfo.PersonaId - Added script support for Persona IDs.
- Chat and User APIs moved to SceneInfo.Chat and SceneInfo.User.
