Customizable texture, brand new templates & informative icons

While you were busy getting some resting or adventurous time during your holidays, we've kept things moving around here! Check out our updates:

Customizable texture for 3D ready-to-use: We have fleshed out the list of our ready-to-use 3D models and built an ad hoc feature to customize their texture with logos, colors and more.

Animation and texture icons within the ready-to-use cards: In the lower left corner of the preview cards, there are now informative icons showing which models have customizable textures and animations available.

New UI and new content for templates: 50+ new templates have been added to the template page, which has a brand new look too. Use the filters in the left panel to search for the templates that suit your needs best and identify the types of assets included at a glance by looking at the icons within the cards.

Alpha channel videos, frame in scene and list of available 3D animations

We've got juicy updates for you this month! Look for the new features in Aryel and start making the best use of them:

Alpha channel videos: Uploading videos with a flat color background, users have now the possibility to remove the background from their videos and build eye-catching campaigns.

Frame asset in scene: The frame feature, previously available at a campaign level, has become a new media type. This allows users to create a different frame for each scene and make their campaigns even more customized.

Dropdown with list of available animations for 3D Models: Inserting an interaction to the assets in scene to toggle, play or stop the animation of a 3D Model has been made easier by presenting users with a dropdown list including all the animations available in the selected model.

ReadyPlayer.me integration: A banner in dashboard gives users access to a ReadyPlayer.me experience, where they can create, customize and download their own 3D avatar, ready to be used in the platform. No technical skills are needed. Simply uploading a picture or taking a selfie will be enough!
