- Improved Cameras
-- Explore a scene by adjusting the camera position with a new command 'Create Look Around Camera' on the action bar
-- Improved camera navigation modes.
-- Optimized default camera properties for creating new navigation cameras (Free Navigation, First-Person Navigation, Orbital Navigation, or Look Around Navigation).

Ambience Studio

- Interactive Ray Tracing with Ambience Studio Stacking
-- Adjust light sources with advanced global illumination by enabling interactive ray tracing (Stellar Physically Correct engine) when opening Ambience Studio from authoring apps (e.g. Rendering Scene Design or Creative Experience).

-- Detach the 2D preview window to maximize and display it separately, zoom in and out, and position your lights precisely.

Planets Studio

- Underwater Visualization
-- A new location 'Underwater - Sea Life', is available in the app which provides a view of underwater life and includes decorative elements including a shipwreck, rocks, seaweed, or fish for an authentic visualization of submarines and other marine and offshore scenarios inside Creative Experience.
