- Improved export flow Save to any USD format — .usd, .usdc, .usda, or .usdz — and your scene comes out exactly as you built it: references, variants, animation, and every material edit preserved. Nothing gets flattened or dropped. - Smoother exporting Exporting large scenes no longer freezes the app — keep working while it saves. - Play/Pause/Reset your animations. New play, pause, and stop/reset controls preview embedded animation right in the viewport. - Faster material editing Change colors and material inputs and see the result update instantly and reliably. - Open more, more easily. Import FBX, glTF, OBJ, STL, and PLY, drag files straight into the window, and let Gantry handle companion files and folders for you. - Better viewing. Correct model orientation and grounding, an accurate scale indicator, refined lighting and environment previews, and inspector polish. - More reliable. Lots of stability fixes, including smoother opening of files from outside the app.

Editing materials on iPhone is now a single, fluid flow. Tapping a texture channel pushes directly into the editor instead of opening a second sheet on top of the inspector—no more layered modals to dismiss. Opening models with external textures or companion files is more reliable. Gantry now correctly identifies required files before prompting and recovers gracefully when folder access is limited rather than dropping the load silently. The inspector shows geometry information earlier in the loading process, so you get useful data faster on complex scenes. This update also includes improvements to loading progress accuracy, material selection stability after reload, and file bookmark handling when reopening models after the app has been backgrounded.
