  16. Website 1.2.0

    Fast export, project files and more modes

    • New

      Fast export renders a clip frame by frame, usually faster than real time. Batch render queues many and packs them in a ZIP.

    • New

      Pick one of ten themes with one click, or put your own picture behind the arena.

    • New

      Give the ball a face. It looks where it flies, blinks and reacts to hard hits.

    • New

      Put balls into teams. A scoreboard keeps score, and a winner banner appears when the run ends.

      A cinematic camera zooms in, shakes on wall breaks, slows down on near misses and replays the escape.

      Add wind, drag and breathing walls. Let balls merge when they touch, or split each time one breaks a wall.

    • New

      The site speaks English, Polish and Spanish.
