December Updates - Wrapping up 2024 and looking ahead
As 2024 comes to a close, we're excited to share what we've been working on this December. We have continued to evolve Greybox thanks to the invaluable feedback from our alpha testers.
This month, we've introduced some powerful new features, refined existing ones, and laid the groundwork for the exciting months ahead. Let's dive into the updates, our plans for the new year, and a sneak peek at our refreshed branding!
New Feature: Constructive Solid Geometry (CSG)
One of the most significant updates this month is the introduction of Constructive Solid Geometry (CSG). This powerful feature allows users to combine objects, enabling the creation of more intricate and complex shapes. Whether you're merging, subtracting, or intersecting objects, CSG gives you the flexibility to bring your ideas to life.
That said, we know that the current user interface for CSG is still in its early stages. We're actively working on refining the UX/UI to make it as intuitive and accessible as possible. Expect smoother workflows and a more polished design in the months ahead.
New Feature: Texture Support
Another exciting update is the ability to add custom textures to objects. This new feature empowers users to personalize their designs with unique materials, patterns, and surface details. Whether you're designing for games, XR experiences, or concepting for architecture, texture support opens up a new layer of creativity and realism for your projects.
This feature is part of our ongoing effort to provide versatile tools for every type of 3D designer, and we're eager to see how you use it in your creations.
Coming Soon: Our MVP Launch
The next big milestone for Greybox is just around the corner. We're thrilled to announce that our MVP with open access is set to launch at the end of January or early February. This version will bring a host of improvements and new features, including:
- A much-improved UI for a seamless user experience
- An object library to save time and enhance your designs
- A tree hierarchy system to organize your scenes and workflows better
- And much more to make 3D design more collaborative and efficient than ever
So stay tuned for more updates as we approach this exciting launch! And, in the meantime, don't hesitate to reach out if you have some feature requests or additional feedback.
Sneak Peek: Updated Branding
Last but not least, we're giving Greybox a fresh new look. Our updated branding reflects our mission to make 3D design accessible, innovative, and collaborative. While we'll reveal the full branding alongside our MVP launch, here's already a sneak peek of our new visual direction.
Wrapping Up
As we close out 2024, we want to thank our early adopters and supporters for being part of this journey. Your feedback, ideas, and enthusiasm have been instrumental in shaping Greybox into what it is today. We're entering 2025 with momentum, excitement, and a clear vision for the future of 3D design.
Here's to a groundbreaking new year with Greybox. Let's build something extraordinary together!
