  • Support for WhiteBalance on color cameras. [#4988]
  • New command SaveFileCamera to save the current camera state as a file camera. This command can also save multiple cameras to a single file.

New Features

  • NxView: Improved rendering performance while navigating in the 3D view.
  • NxView: Introduced new file extensions for different types of saved files instead of the generic .zip and .json files used before. Existing files are still compatible and can still be selected from NxView.
