We have a lot of new stuff to go through. All of the releases are interconnected, supporting each others features and functionalities. Together they bring some interesting new dynamics to the Meshmoon platform. Here’s what’s new… Meshmoon Unity Plugin We have been working hard on a Meshmoon Unity plugin that can export your Unity scenes to Meshmoon. We are now ready to say 1.0 is ready and would like you to help us improve it. »
It has been long in the works, but now it is finally here. We’ve had amazing help in testing the release candidates and nightly builds, thanks for everyone for participating.

I hope that artists find this blog post as this is a major release for content authoring in Meshmoon and again contains some big visual upgrades. »
