Version v0.2.0

Workspace Launcher and Settings get a fresh redesign

This release gives Artyx a cleaner first impression with a redesigned Workspace Launcher and Settings screen, plus a new floating Agent chat panel. It also includes smoother canvas performance and a batch of fixes for 3D, windows, and canvas behavior that make the app feel more reliable day to day.

Release highlights

What’s new

  1. Fresh two-pane launcher

    The start screen now shows your projects as preview thumbnails beside a matching sidebar. Because the thumbnails capture just the canvas, it’s easier to spot the right project at a glance.

  2. Settings now match the home screen

    The Settings page has been redesigned into the same two-pane layout as the launcher. Controls are grouped more clearly, which should make it easier to find what you need.

  3. Agent chat floats on canvas

    The Artyx Agent chat now appears as a floating panel over the canvas instead of feeling like a separate space. The input has been simplified so you can start typing faster.

  4. Canvas feels lighter and smoother

    The app now does less unnecessary work when the canvas is sitting idle, which should help reduce background CPU use. It also avoids a freeze when lots of node menus load in and out while you scroll.

  5. More fixes across 3D and windows

    This release fixes several annoying issues, including unclickable top-bar buttons, missing window controls on Windows and Linux, and problems with some 3D and derived image workflows.

In the app

Where to find it

  1. 01

    Open Artyx to see the new Workspace Launcher.

    Your projects now appear as thumbnail cards in a two-pane layout, with a glass-style sidebar on the side.

  2. 02

    Click a project from the Open or Recent area.

    Both views now share the same preview thumbnails, so it should be easier to pick up where you left off.

  3. 03

    Collapse the sidebar if you want more canvas space.

    A minimap stays visible when the sidebar is collapsed, and there’s a collapse arrow on the workspace sidebar.

  4. 04

    Open Settings from the top bar.

    Settings now use the same two-pane layout as the home screen, with controls arranged in a top icon row.

  5. 05

    Open the Agent chat from the canvas area.

    The chat now floats over the canvas and uses a simpler input box.

  6. 06

    If you work in 3D, open the viewer from a model workspace.

    The 3D viewer has been reorganized into a calmer control panel and texture modal, and the "View in 3D" hint should now be readable in light mode.
