We are pleased to announce the release of ARShades 3D AR Viewer Version 1.5.1, our incremental update focused on elevating rendering fidelity, broadening compatibility and refining the in-browser AR experience—no additional plugins required
What’s New in Version 1.5.1
Smoother Visuals with Advanced Post‑Processing
• The viewer now applies enhanced bloom and anti‑aliasing effects, along with improved tone correction, to deliver sharper and more vibrant imagery.
• We’ve expanded the default viewing angle, giving a broader, more immersive perspective on your 3D models.
Flexible Material and Scene Settings
• You can now adjust surface properties—such as shine, texture and transparency—dynamically through simple URL options, making it effortless to compare different finishes.
• A realistic indoor lighting preset is applied automatically when no custom environment is specified, ensuring consistent results out of the box.
More Intuitive Controls and Automation Ready
• Cursor visuals adapt to your actions—rotate, zoom or pan—and provide clear feedback for a smoother interaction.
• The viewer exposes a readiness flag that can be used to trigger automatic rendering workflows or coordinate with backend systems.
Enhanced Mobile and AR Experience
• A distinct close control in mobile view helps users exit AR sessions cleanly and consistently.
• Initial camera angle for AR previews can be set via an easy URL parameter, ensuring predictable placement across devices.
Faster Loads and Stable Sessions
• Optimised module loading and smart caching reduce initial load times and overall bundle size.
• Exiting AR mode now reliably clears temporary data, preventing any memory build‑up and keeping the experience smooth.
