- New Camera Mode - Free Fly. Allows you to move around the scene with WASD and look around in a first-person style. Located in the right-click context menu

- Tracking Camera - turn your WebXR-supported smartphone into a virtual camera for your cutscenes and animations!
Open the new item in the dockbar’s extra menu and go to Tracking Camera. Scan the QR code with your phone, enter the one-time code into BDE, and press Start tracking! Start recording camera movement from your phone, stop it, and re-record the parts you need on the timeline.
- Camera Path Rendering.Found in the right-click context menu.
- LiteUI Mode - disables UI blur and transparency effects for low-end devices. Located in Settings > LiteUI Mode.

New feature Video Reference, similar to Image Reference – allows you to upload a video reference, and in Animator mode synchronizes with the timeline for frame-by-frame accuracy
Changes:
- Optimization of Block and Item displays: objects without transparency now render without it, increasing FPS
- Optimization of PlayerHead: heads without a second layer texture automatically disable its rendering, improving FPS
- In "Create ready-made heads," only unique textures are sent to the server, avoiding duplicates
- If PlayerHead has no texture on the second layer, that layer skips clicks, preventing overlap issues
- In Animator mode, the Dock panel no longer disappears, keeping access to Image Reference and Video Reference
- Sound preloading is now parallel instead of sequential, speeding up loading of all project sounds
- Fixed a bug where sound didn’t play on frame 1
- Fixed a bug where one empty SoundList skipped loading all project sounds
- Fixed additional issues with SoundList processing
- Piano Roll redesigned to match Note Block’s 25-note system
