**Envision 1, Update 1**

*Official release*

**Date **- July 16, 2025



## **New Features**

---

- **Traffic Simulation System:**
  - Real-time vehicle traffic simulation powered by the Anima engine – instantly build dynamic street scenes, from busy urban areas to smooth-flowing highways.
  - The Chaos Cosmos library now includes animated vehicles ready to drop into your scene.
- **Revamped Render Settings plus Batch Rendering:**
  - The updated Render Settings dialog streamlines workflow for both still images and sequences.
  - Create and manage multiple render jobs, each with unique camera or video, and scene state combinations.
- **Proximity Sensors:** New interactive objects trigger animations when other objects or cameras come close – automatically open doors, activate mechanisms, and more.


## **Improvements**

---

- **Full Screen Mode (FSM) Related Crashes: **Streamlined the animation playback, variation editing and view switching while in FSM.
- **Material editor: **
  - Added ability to specify and display the bump map type of materials. Select between grayscale map and normal map.
  - Added a simple transparency mode useful to create materials where light passes through without refraction or bending (like transparent or semi-transparent curtains or sheer fabrics).
- **Pivot, Align & Distribute:** Now shows a notification if the requested operation isn’t possible with the current selection.
- **Spline creation/editing:** Now requires at least two points to prevent confusion and accidental single-point attempts.


## **Crash Fixes**

---

- Fix crash when output video file is not writable.
- Fix editing of variations in preview mode results in a crash.
- Crash when assigning non-standard material as Mix material layer.


## **Bug Fixes**

---

- Fix switch of system audio output device muting Envision.
- Use spacebar only for toggle of animation playback globally.
