Release 13

Update (a)

New server backend – hopefully all you will notice is the server doesn’t crash so often!
New Office UI: scenes now belong to projects.
You should have an initial project with your name holding all previous scenes you had created
You should also have a First Stage project for sharing scenes
You can create new projects and invite users to join them.
Reworked WristPad with a tablet style home screen.
New Preferences pane on WristPad allows setting of movement comfort options.
Fix for first stage becoming very slow after using the Camera TTL view.
You can now move around the set using one hand grip instead of a two hand gesture – scale & turn still need two hands.
New documentation website (still very incomplete work in progress) can be found from the WristPad or by saying “Help”.
The documentation can also be found via a normal browser: https://www.first-stage.moviestorm.co.uk/getting-started

New Office UI should now work fine in VR – Keyboard works with Create Project dialog etc.
Scenes prior to June 2018 have been deleted: incompatibility issues stopped listing scenes in personal project.
Fixed issue with dragging cameras.

Assets are now loaded in the background in the browser. This should reduce stalls sending you to limbo. While loading there is a placeholder object.
Improvements to Office UI – should make it easier to follow
You can now make a Copy of a Scene from the Office UI.
WristPad now has a toggle button underneath it to take you between the home screen and selected screen.
Improved Theater stage: added missing colliders to stage elements such as “Hub Podien” so placing things on them should snap properly.
Scaffold Grid now shows properly and can be sketched on again.
Filling sketch faces with materials should now work properly.
Fixed issue where a second camera would move on top of the first camera.
