New in this beta:
Apple Silicon
This version of Studio was compiled in a way that it should be compatible with both Intel Macs and Apple Silicon Macs without Rosetta 2 Emulation. We don't have a Mac that uses an Apple Silicon chip to test functionality on those Macs, so if you are having an issue with it, please let us know so we can try to figure it out.
Blender 3.3
Studio can now use Blender 3.3. If you have issues with the new Blender, Studio still has support for the 2.7 versions that previous versions of Studio were compatible with.
Note: "S4Studio CAS Tools" panel in Blender has been renamed to "S4Studio Mesh Tools" since it is used for both CAS and objects. The "Type" dropdown has also been removed since it has never been needed.
Tuning Editor
A new tab has been added to allow easy editing of tuning resources and linking them to CAS and buy mode items. For more information on how to get started with this, see the tutorial HERE. Changes made in this new tab will automatically generate both Tuning and SimData resources. Due to the many different types of tuning, you may run into some issues when trying to change certain things. Please report any problems that you have and provide as much detail as possible along with the files that you are having issues with.
Platforms
Platforms have been added as an option to the Build Clone list. We plan to add more build items to this beta series.
Updated for the latest official content through Growing Together EP.
System Requirements:
Mac OS 10.11 (El Capitan) or higher
Blender 2.78 or 3.3.0 (only needed for meshing and animation)
Special thanks to brujah , Feyona , and mauvemorn for alpha testing.
