Changelog

💡Changes & Fixes

• Adjusted some of the UI elements in Workbench to make it more clear how to create Roblox characters.

• Tweaked some camera controls to control smoother and properly save and load camera angles in a World with Ctrl-K and Ctrl-L.

• Added a few more actions to recover Worlds when the graphics cause an error.

• Fixed an issue where you could not drag the Code Editor window.

• Fixed an issue where the camera speed indicator wouldn’t appear after cloning a World.

• Fixed a bug where visitors of published sandbox Worlds could not edit or move objects.

• Fixed an issue where it was possible to export while a model was still generating.

• Fixed an issue where primitive objects would lose their color on export.

🧩 New Primitives

We added new primitive objects to the radial menu:

• Opened Stairs

• Closed Stairs

• Spiral Stairs

• Arch

You can also edit them further using the Primitive category in the Inspector Menu!

🤸🏻‍♂️ New Animations

We added a new animation generator, Cartwheel! You can use the radial menu on a rigged character, then use the + icon to generate new animations.

Use the ⚙️ gear icon to adjust the animation model you’re using and length of animation, or browse the library of existing animations.

You can check the progress of generation and further adjust your animations using Animation category in the Inspector Panel.

🎨 GPT Image 2

We added GPT Image 2 to Idea Forge! GPT Image 2 offers higher quality generation, similar to Nano Banana Pro. Use it to achieve some stylized images or upload your own images to edit further.

💰 Automatic Top-ups

We added the option to automatically top up your wallet if your Bit balance is low. On your accounts page, set the amount you want to top-up and keep creating without slowing down.

💡Changes & Fixes

• Changed the default 3D AI model to Tripo 3.1. You should expect higher-quality results, but if you want to iterate quickly or spend fewer Bits, you can adjust the model using the ⚙️ gear icon.

• Tweaked our camera settings in vehicle mode to be a bit smoother when in control.

• We made existing worlds Spectator mode by default, if you want to edit a world you’re visiting try to clone it first!

• Fixed a bug that removed the color from the model when exporting as a GLB file.

• Fixed an issue where physics colliders would not recalculate if you mirrored the mesh in the Inspector Menu.

• Fixed a bug where Tripo 3.1 required a builder subscription.

• Fixed an issue in our explore page that resulted in errors when trying to visit older Nilo Worlds.

• Fixed a launch bug on Chromium browsers.

🧩 Primitives +

We added more configurable options to primitive objects in the Inspector Panel! When selecting a primitive object like a sphere or square, you can use the Primitive section in the Inspector Panel to change the properties like thickness, segments, and angle slices. Let us know what you want to see next with primitive objects!

🛠️ Code Editor

We added a few more options for AI Models in the Code Editor. You can use the ⚙️ Gear Icon to select GPT 5.4, Claude Opus 4.7, or Gemini 3.1 in the Code Editor. You can use some of these options without costing Bits for the first few times just to try it out. ✨

💡Changes & Fixes

• Added the ability to use some Builder Subscription features like Tripo P1 five times, giving you the option to try it before you subscribe for it.

• Added some better previews when you link your profile from Nilo Rewards to your friends.

• Fixed several small errors in Idea Forge when generating images and using No Background features.

🛠️ Idea Forge

Introducing the new Doodle! Idea Forge builds on top of the previous Doodle feature with even more power than before! Use 🗨️ Chat History to keep track of your generation history, and create dozens of New Ideas with the help of the Random Idea prompt generator!

Just like before, you can also Doodle and sketch what you want to create, but now you can also quickly generate Variants with a single click.

🖼️ Image Styles and Inputs

Inside Idea Forge you can use custom Styles or Inputs to influence the output of the generation! You can create your own reference elements by Capturing a Scene in your World, Camera or Upload.

Then you can select as many Styles or Inputs as you want to create a consistent, unique look to your ideas!

🧱 Asset Packs

That’s not all Idea Forge can do! Using the Asset Pack function you can take any image and create a Part Sheet of all the components. This makes it easy to create dozens of 3D models in a consistent style, without the need for tons of guess work and iteration.

You can also Box Select by clicking and dragging a section of the image to isolate parts and Refine Selected to edit and iterate on your objects even further!

👕 Workbench

We’ve made creating Roblox-Ready assets even easier for you with the new Workbench feature!

Open it using the Create → Roblox Character option and prompt or Draw a texture directly on the model. Customize the skin, and even download the Torso and Leg textures separately if you want.

With Workbench, you can also use the Animations option to generate custom animations and export Roblox characters in Roblox’s native format with animations and clothing — all Robux-free. We’re still working on some extra Roblox-specific exporting features, so keep an eye out for an option to connect your Roblox account directly to Nilo!

🎒 Builder Bag

We’ve added your very own personal asset library with the Builder Bag! Store 3D files, 2D images, or audio files in your Builder Bag and use them across any Nilo World with a simple drag and drop system!

Drag files in or out of a World, even in places like the Idea Forge and Workbench to quickly reuse and remix your objects. You and also use “B” to save objects to your bag, and “Tab” to open Builder Bag.

Access your Builder Bag using the 🎒 Backpack Icon at the top left of the screen.

⏯️ Sandbox & Spectator Mode

Protect your published worlds with the new Spectator and Sandbox modes when you share Worlds with others in the Nilo community! Sandbox mode allows all editing tools to be enabled, meaning other users can change and collaborate in your World. Spectator mode disables object modification so your world for other users, keeping it preserved and only modifiable by you. You’ll still have a private copy of the world you can manage using a Source and Live function.

🤝🏻 Collaborator Permissions

Co-creating in Nilo is now managed through Collaborators! When you own the World, you can edit the Collaborator settings in the Main Menu on the top left of the screen. Search for the user you want to collaborate with and add them to your World as an editor or viewer, without needing to publish your World.

🤖 Ask AI How Tos

Got a question about Nilo? We have a new answer! Nilo now has a documentation hub learning all things Nilo! To find it, use the “?” button on the bottom right side of the screen and select “Help”! You can look up what you want to do, or Ask AI your question! We also have Video Tutorials available if you prefer to watch how to do something.

Support related inquiries should also use the message function during business hours for help with account issues, billing, or other questions about Nilo.

🎁 Nilo Rewards

Nilo Bits are here! Bits are used when generating content, and are given through monthly Subscriptions or bought with one-time payments. You can also earn Bits for free when building, sharing, and inviting others to Nilo. You can access Nilo Rewards and earn extra bits by selecting the Gift Box icon or on https://www.play.nilo.io/rewards
