These allow users to use node-based assets directly within the classic Object Manager as if they were standard primitives or modifiers. This gives artists the power of complex, procedural logic without needing to dive deep into the node editor every time. For motion designers, R25
The software now natively supports importing Adobe Illustrator , PDF , and SVG files. Unlike previous legacy methods, this version maintains stroke and fill information, allowing for the immediate "3D-ification" of 2D artwork through automatic extrusions and sweeps.
