v0.3.100

Blender
2026-09-16

Dropping or importing an asset no longer leaves the large GPU preview stuck over the viewport.

Compatibility: Blender 4.2+, tested on 5.2

Fixes

  • GPU hover preview clears when starting or finishing Drop, and after a successful Import (Community and Pro)

v0.3.99

Blender
2026-09-15

Material Blend in the UAL sidebar now collapses on its own. Collapsing Universal Asset Library no longer hides Material Blend.

Compatibility: Blender 4.2+, tested on 5.2

Fixes

  • N-panel: Material Blend is a separate top-level section (Community and Pro)

v0.3.98

Blender
2026-09-15

GPU hover preview works again in the Community edition. Preferences and pin shortcuts are unchanged.

Compatibility: Blender 4.2+, tested on 5.2

Fixes

  • Community: large GPU hover thumbnail preview draws correctly when hovering assets in the sidebar (settings already on)

v0.3.97

Blender
2026-09-15

Browse your local asset library and eight public online sources from the Blender sidebar. This release improves Preferences links and keeps Community and Pro installs from mixing by mistake.

Compatibility: Blender 4.2+, tested on 5.2

New features

  • Preferences **Website** opens https://universalassetlibrary.com
  • Updates refuse to install the wrong edition (Community vs Pro) so your install stays consistent

Improvements

  • Community Preferences only show the online sources included in this build
  • Clearer account and update wording in Preferences

v0.1.5

Houdini
2026-09-15

ambientCG Online browse and Save work again (CDN host allowlist), and Windows installers prefer the real Python launcher so `install.bat` no longer dies on the Microsoft Store stub.

Compatibility: Houdini 19.5–22.x

Improvements

  • Installer discovers prefs via `HOUDINI_USER_PREF_DIR`, supports Linux/macOS prefs layout, and clearer errors when prefs or Python are missing.
  • Package template no longer ships a hardcoded developer `ASSETLIB` path — run `install.bat` / the installer script after unzip.
  • Manual install docs on the website cover packages JSON and legacy `houdini.env` (one method only).

Fixes

  • ambientCG thumbnails and ZIP downloads allowlisted for `struffelproductions.com` (browse CDN + download redirect).
  • `install.bat` / `install.ps1` / `uninstall.bat` prefer `py -3` over the Windows Store `python` app-execution alias (exit 9009).
