Light under the skin. Materials can now scatter light beneath the surface, so skin, wax, jade, and marble glow the way they do in life instead of reading as flat paint. Thin parts like ears and fingertips let light through while thick parts stay solid, and a painted model scatters the colors you painted. Set the amount, radius, radius tint, and anisotropy in the new Subsurface section of the material editor, which is now grouped into sections. Cleaner renders, sooner. Path tracing now sends its rays toward the bright parts of the environment, so a render under a sunny sky shows far fewer speckles and much less grain at the same number of samples. No more meshing freeze. Switching a large sculpt to mesh mode used to lock the whole app for seconds behind a "Meshing..." message that couldn't even animate. Meshing now runs in the background and the app stays responsive. Autosave stays out of your way. Autosave used to fire in the middle of a stroke or a camera drag, competing with you for the GPU and stuttering the gesture. It now waits until you've lifted your finger, and a save already under way pauses until you have. Open from anywhere. A sculpt opened from Files or iCloud Drive is imported into your gallery and opened from there, so it saves properly and shows up alongside your other work. OBJ, STL, and USD models shared from other apps now open too, as new sculpts in your gallery.

Paint that layers the way you expect. Paint now composites over the paint already there, so a lower opacity lays down thinner paint instead of letting the material show through, and the opacity you pick is the opacity you get at any brush size. The eraser only takes color away, leaving the hue of what's left alone, and erased edges no longer bleed the old color into their neighbors. With symmetry on, a stroke crossing the mirror plane no longer paints twice as heavily along it. Paint and masks that follow the material. Sculpting through a painted region used to wash the paint out a little more with every step, until a long drag left it pale. An inverted mask had the matching problem and went dead partway through a stroke, stalling the surface and leaving a blocky edge where it stopped. Paint and masks now travel with the material for the whole stroke. Stretch a layer along one axis. The scale tool now has a gizmo with three axis handles, so you can squash or stretch the current layer down a single axis instead of only scaling it evenly. Fewer, bigger undos. Dragging a slider or scrubbing a color used to record an undo entry for every event and flush your whole undo history in a fraction of a second. A burst of related edits is now one undo step.

Paint anywhere, bring it home. Export your sculpt as USDZ with paint baked into textures, paint it in Procreate or any other app, then use the new Import Paint to bring those colors back onto your sculpt, without changing your model. Better USDZ export. A new USD engine bakes your paint into crisp textures, honors the Generate UV Maps setting, and lets you cancel long exports. Textured import. Import textured USD and USDZ models with their colors carried straight into voxel paint. Better brushes. The paint and mask brushes now have erase and blur modes, with a stronger, smoother blur. Clear all paint in one tap, and the inner radius now shapes your brush falloff the way you'd expect. More beautiful renders. Paint colors now appear in path-traced renders, with new depth of field and vignette camera settings. Tap your model to set the focal plane. Rendering shows progress and can be cancelled, and Gallery thumbnails are now rendered with path-traced lighting. Layer properties. A new pane under the layers list puts each layer's name, numeric position, rotation, and scale, and its resample settings in one place, with draggable X/Y/Z handles you can scrub to dial in a value. Smoother and more responsive. Transform multiple layers at once, resample in the background with per-layer progress, and enjoy rendering fixes and interface polish throughout, including handling larger sculpts more smoothly.

Better color painting. An new Voxel Paint tool makes painting color onto your sculpt easier and more responsive, and surfaces can now glow with emissive materials. You can also set a scene background color. Smarter masking. The new Voxel Mask sticks to your model, stays put as you sculpt, and now carries between volume and mesh modes — mask once, and it protects your work everywhere. Masks are visible in mesh mode too. Organize your Gallery. Sort your sculpts into Groups to keep your work tidy. Better layers. Lock layers to prevent accidental edits, with layer actions now tucked into a tidy menu. Faster and lighter. Sculpting is quicker, memory efficiency is significantly improved, voxel surfaces render more smoothly, and the app is easier on your battery. More stable. Fixed a range of crashes, including GPU issues on iPad, and polished the interface throughout.
