What's new

• Gradient — Create Gradient starts a render from an editable color ramp. Modes Linear, Radial, Angular, and Diamond. Domains Planar and Spherical (Directional and Geodesic Radial). Spreads Clamp, Repeat, and Reflect. Header Use this gradient. Live preview in the 360 viewer. Draft recipe persists. Interior stops can cross. Shared palette toolbar. Ramp context actions. Saved Gradient editing and landing recents. Accepted frames show in the navigator.

• Fractal — Workshop header tabs Scene, Look, Lighting, and View. Scene name pill and Mode sit in the header. Look presets save custom looks. Palette, Colour mapping, Emission, Glow, and Rim light are their own cards. Shared Stops and Glow libraries. Formulas group as Bulbs, Julia, Boxes and folds, IFS, and Height maps. Working session recovery. Latest working fractal on CREATE. Create dock and page carry a Workshop door.

• Shader — Create dock Workshop door. Library browsers save copies into a chosen library scope. Preview controls sit in the workshop header.

• Solid Color — Settings → Plugins lists it as Always available. Header shows render size and Use this color. Full-width preview with an inline picker rail.

• Sequence — Create Sequence renders a sequence of frames with motion, then export to video. Settings → Plugins lists it as Always available.

• Import Image — Header Browse picks one image and the panel follows its folder. Recent Images shows six columns. A folder stepper floats on the preview. Source uses a rich select.

• Outpaint — Create menus label Outpaint as 360°.

• Viewer — 360 pill tooltip and a one-time first-use pulse. Cursor-rest hint teaches double-click 360 on top. Toggle fullscreen shows F11. Playing video keeps its lease while a retained Gradient or render recovers.

• 360 LoRA — Header shows model, resolution, Variations, and Generate. Viewed-model name and seed stay off the header. Generate tooltip carries the blocked-reason cue.

Fixes

• Settings → Plugins aligns plugin rows and shows Sequence.
• Recent tiles request a thumbnail sized to the tile, oversampled 1.5×. The Recent panel uses translucent black glass.
• Fractal proportions stay correct during window resize. Workshop panel shows after lazy module load.
• Shader covers use a higher-resolution JPEG.
• Pattern viewer generator panel grows with its controls.
