🔋 Bits Battery

Coming within the next month, Nilo is changing how Bits work. Today, if you use up your monthly Bits, you’re stuck waiting for multiple weeks until your reset date to create again. That’s frustrating, and difficult to plan out your wallet for. So we’re getting rid of the monthly wall entirely and changing how the wallet works.

With the Bits Battery, your ability to generate is based on a charge. The Bits Battery refills continuously over time instead of resetting once a month.

We’ve put together a short FAQ here to answer your questions that will be maintained leading up to the change: https://nilo.io/blog/introducing-bits-battery

💡 Changes & Fixes

• Added the ability to toggle the Visibility of objects in the Inspector Panel.

• Added and refreshed new Tutorials on the Explore page with new Getting Started and UGC export guides.

• Added a 4,000 polygon count option to most 3D model generation settings to help for Roblox-specific models.

• Fixed a issue where rigging caused a character to lean incorrectly.

• Fixed some UI shifting out of frame on mobile while typing in a text field.

📹 Video to Animation

You can now generate specific animations for your characters based on reference video or capture your own with a webcam! When creating an animation on a rigged character, select Upload Video or Use Webcam to create then trim the footage to what you want to use.

🤖 Meshy 7

We added Meshy 7 as a new 3D model generation option! It's built for clean, game-ready models, and it comes with a polycount setting between 100 and 300,000 so you can dial in to what your project needs. Switch to it using the ⚙️ Gear icon when you generate to see how it can suit your needs.

💡 Changes & Fixes

• Significantly improved the export speed of RBXMX models.

• Improved attachment point overlays so they scale to match the object you're attaching to.

• Improved the messages shown when a generation fails so it's clearer what happened.

• Improved multiplayer so control hands off smoothly when a player's tab goes inactive.

• Fixed a crash when using the send button in the Code Editor while collaborating.

• Fixed Inspector Panel scrolling on mobile so you can reach every setting.

• Fixed generated animation direction for Roblox Characters so they face the right way.

• Fixed a crash that could happen when leaving a World.

• Added the Search bar for Worlds back to the explore page.

• Changed the Make 3D button in Idea Forge so it now stays visible but disabled until your image is ready.

• Added the ability to filter Worlds on your profile page by Favorites.

• Improved the Explore page's All, Featured, and New tabs so they load and page through Worlds correctly.

• Fixed several issues with attachments, including objects appearing before their attachment point had loaded, undo an redo, and physics breaking after detaching.

• Fixed an issue where you could enter a World before it finished loading.

🧩 Attachments

You can now attach 3D objects to your Roblox Characters! Select and drag an object onto an the avatar to see an overlay with attachment points where the object will snap into place. Then you can make any minor adjustments with the Gizmo or detach the objects using the Radial Menu.

Once the objects are attached, you can then export the entire character with the attachments using the RBXMX export button with a single click! You no longer need a subscription to export RBXMX.

🔑 Roblox API Keys

Exporting to Roblox just got more flexible! You can connect to your Roblox account and export your creations straight to your Roblox experience using your own API key.

You'll find the setup on your account page or in Workbench. Link your account, add your API Key and Place ID, and send your creation over directly to Roblox.

🎆 Particle Systems

We’ve completely reworked Particle Systems! Right click an empty place in the world to Create Particles. Then select the particle object and open the Inspector Panel to adjust the look. You can adjust the type from Continuous to Burst, change the shape of the emission point, and dial in the particle count, size, opacity, gravity, and lifetime.

You can even use your own meshes as emitters, and drive each emitter's burst on its own. This is a brand new system built on a faster particle engine, and any older particle effects are moved over for you automatically. We recommend checking your older Worlds to see how older particle effects have changed and updating them as needed.

🌅 Skybox & Ground Presets

We added Skybox and Ground presets to the Environment Panel! Pick a look from the preset grid and it applies the sky, lighting, and ground in a single click.

It's a quick way to go from a blank room to a scene that feels right before you start building, and you can still fine-tune everything afterward.

🧭 Explore Updates

We’ve updated our explore page when you first use Nilo! Navigate through the various Worlds using Explore or see all of our Tutorials using the sidebar navigation. You can also access your profile information, created Worlds and Nilo Rewards.
