Vatom Spaces Version 1.8.501 through Version 1.8.506 have been released! 🏷️

Fix for OIDC logins.

Fixed an issue with space portals placing the users in the wrong area after walking through them.

Reduce the amount of errors on the start page of a space.

Fixed an error that displays "No user ID has been found" error when navigating to an event link.

Fixed child object of a group's render distance not displaying correctly when objects were at a far distance.

Use Fog to 'blur' objects in the distance in coordination with your Render Distance to help create worlds that feel infinite, but are continuously loading as guests explore off into the distance.

Fog now has two different setting formats, Linear Fog and Exponential fog. Give each one a test and see what feels right for your space, found in the World Editor > Environment Settings.

We're thrilled to unveil the redesigned Landing Page for Spaces. Here's what's new:

🌟

Our team has brought in a sleek, contemporary design that not only resonates with the modern-day digital landscape but also is aesthetically pleasing to all our users.

🎨

We understand that every Space is unique. With that in mind, we've made sure that our new landing page is fully customizable via Vatom Studio, giving you the reins to craft an entrance that matches the vibe of your space.

🎨

Customize blur amount, brightness, or separate images for desktop and mobile.

🔐

Ease-of-access was top-of-mind when we were working on this redesign. Now, attendees can choose from multiple login options, including Enterprise SSO. For those seeking a quick jump into the experience, the option to join as a guest or anonymously ensures that no one is left out.

🛡

To give hosts more control, spaces can now be optionally secured with Allowl (Token Gating), a Password, or even a Guest list entry, ensuring that the right audience gets in every time.

🥽

Before entering the Space, attendees can now select or customize their very own 3D avatars via 'Ready Player Me'. Dive into an immersive experience with a persona that’s uniquely you!

With these enhancements, we believe that every attendee's journey, right from the landing page to the heart of the Space, will be more engaging, secure, and tailor-made.

Version 1.8.498 and Version 1.8.499 have been released! 🏷️

Fixed an issue where Mobile guests were being shown an invalid credit card error.

Fixed an issue where guests could freely change their microphone context without the correct privileges.

Fixed an issue where presenters sharing their screen could accidentally close their screenshare by clicking the preview window.

Fixed an issue where the vertical position was not recognized and guests were placed underneath the map when first loading or returning to the space.

Object textures for planes and other default shapes can now be replaced with a URL from storage as well as uploading and replacing the file directly.

Several updates around presentation zones and presenter management.

Presentation Zones can now have an in-world screen directly connected. Presenters in the zone do not have to click the screen to screenshare, only choose "Screen" in the bottom control panel, and their screenshare will be directed to the in-world screen. This reduces some complexity around presenting in a zone.

When a presenter has a stage mic it is visualized in the People Menu's presentation zone category. The stage mic icon will appear if the user has a stage mic, and will be red or green depending on if their stage mic is muted.

The presenter is now called a "Stage Mic" when within a presentation zone. You can give presenters and guests a "stage mic" to allow them to speak to everyone within the zone.

Vatom Studio is now your single hub for all things creative within Vatom. Manage your NFT Designs and Campaigns, Spaces and Space Events, Analytics, and Business Wallet all from the Vatom Studio Dashboard.

You will be redirected from spaces.vatom.com to studio.vatom.com in order to manage your spaces and spaces events. Your spaces will still be available from the same spaces.vatom.com/@--- URL but you will now manage your account and space settings from Vatom Studio.

Read more about scheduling Custom Events within your space.

With this update, Spaces can now be restricted with a Password or Email Guest List similar to how Events have previously been managed.

If you experience any issues or are not seeing your Space listed, we recommend doing a hard refresh (Shift + ⌘ + R) of Studio or clear cache and cookies and reload Vatom Studio before contacting support.*

Addressed an issue where objects would randomly disappear from a space if an admin user moved 1000 meters away from the initial entry point and then returned. We have successfully resolved this issue, ensuring that objects no longer vanish unexpectedly under these circumstances.

This fix guarantees the stability and consistency of objects within the virtual space, preventing any unintentional disappearance and maintaining the intended design and arrangement.

Any creators who experienced objects disappearing can restore from an automated backup file in order to restore all files your space.

We're excited to announce an enhancement in screen and video sharing, with increased video resolution output for a crystal-clear screenshare experience. This means that when you share your screen or video, you'll be able to see every pixel and read every word without having to "zoom in please!"

Resolved an issue where the screen share panel window would become hidden while viewing screen sharing from another user and resizing the browser window. With this fix, the screen share panel remains visible and correctly adjusts to browser window resizing.

Fixed an issue where the error message would appear in the console while creating a group without providing a name. The creation of groups now works as intended, even when a name is not provided.

Following: Resolved an issue where the follow function would stop working if both the current user and the user being followed remained stationary for a while before moving again. This issue has been fixed, and [the follow function now remains consistent and functional regardless of movement pauses.]

: Plug-in developers have the ability to determine whether attendees have their microphones muted or not. This can be achieved through the use of the new function (documented here). In addition, a new mute state change hook allows you to register a callback to know when the user has changed the mute state. These additions allow developers to create more interactive and dynamic plugins, providing users with a better understanding of their audio status within the virtual environment.

: Resolved an issue related to the deletion of parent objects using Previously, using this function to delete a parent object would inadvertently lead to the deletion of child objects as well. With this fix, the function works as intended, ensuring that only the specified parent object is removed without affecting child objects.

: Fixed a problem where the 'move to' interaction feature did not function correctly when the target object was a child within a group. With this issue resolved, the 'move to' interaction now operates as expected even when dealing with grouped objects. This fix ensures a consistent and reliable interaction experience, allowing users to seamlessly interact with both grouped and ungrouped objects using the 'move to' functionality.

A notable improvement has been made to the screen share panel for users who are observing screensharing within a space. The panel's placement has been shifted to the right-hand side, ensuring a more intuitive and less intrusive experience.

With this bug fix, the icon now accurately reflects the status of screen sharing, providing users with clear and real-time feedback about the ongoing screen sharing activity.

Fixed an issue that was causing the error message to appear in the console when attempting to drag ZIP files without GLB objects into the space. This issue has been successfully resolved, and users will no longer encounter this error message.

Introducing a powerful new feature: grouping. Now, in the Editor, you can seamlessly create groups of objects. This means that objects within a group can be collectively scaled, moved, rotated, and even deleted, streamlining your editing process and making complex manipulations a breeze. This feature significantly enhances your editing efficiency, allowing for more organized and precise control over multiple objects at once.

We've successfully resolved an issue that caused the screen share preview to be cut off while sharing content within a space. With this fix, the screen share preview now fully displays the shared content, ensuring that your audience can see all the details without any parts being cropped.
