Improvements đź”—
✏️ Brush Appending Improvements
Resolved compatibility problems with brushes from pre-Blender 3.5, ensuring they work correctly in Blender 4.3, 4.4-alpha, and beyond.
🔌 Automatic Client Port Switching
The add-on now attempts different ports when the Client fails to start on the default one, eliminating manual port changes in Preferences.
♻️ Blender 4.4.0-alpha Compatibility
Fixed issues where the Asset Bar, drag-and-drop, and disclaimers were not functioning in Blender 4.4.0-alpha, ensuring a seamless experience even in cutting-edge Blender builds.
🖼️ Better Thumbnails
Thumbnails with alpha channels are now handled more gracefully in the asset detail window, resolving the problem with sometimes glitchy thumbnail previews.
⏱️ Configurable Client Polling Interval
The add-on now polls the Client more frequently—every 200ms by default instead of 500ms—making searches and online interactions snappier. If you encounter timeouts or find this too CPU-intensive, adjust the polling interval in the add-on preferences to suit your needs.
