Modernized GUI Theme

The entire GUI has been redesigned with a modern dark theme (while still based on Windows Forms; we are aware there are many small issues), many fixes were done to high DPI support, all icons have been replaced with scalable SVG icons, a custom titlebar has been added. The new changes include better main tabs, they now have fixed width which shrinks to fit without scrolling when you many tabs. Tabs now have a close button. The app logo has been tightened up.

Async Loading and Threaded Rendering

OpenGL rendering now runs on a dedicated background thread, significantly improving UI responsiveness during file loading and navigation. Resources are now loaded asynchronously to not block the UI. This also makes the experience of loading file previews in VPK nicer.

Animation Node Graph Viewer

Animation graphs 2 can now be visualized as interactive node-based graphs with automatic layout, wire routing, panning, zooming, and keyboard navigation support.

Improved Audio Player

The audio player has been redesigned to look more modern and render the entire file audio waveform.

Improved Material Viewer

Materials now include an updated side panel which shows all the supported properties which can be changed on the fly.

Orbit Camera

It is now possible to orbit a camera around any object (raycast) in front of the camera while holding Alt.
