This update includes a really foundational rework of a major part of our application. We hope that it's rather unnoticeable but bring you a great deal of stability when it comes to downloading and connecting with your 3D Softwares. Over the next couple of upgrades, we'll also be improving other areas under the hood, and this is all preliminary work to bring us another step closer to the macOS release.
New Features
  • Improved password quality validation (more modern), improved suggestions to make passwords stronger.
Quality of Life Improvements
  • Various stability fixes: We reworked a large portion of our backend to provide improved stability. Part of that rework also introduces the new CargoPlatformServices.exe.
    The new EXE may set off some anti-virus/security software and will require it to be white listed for Cargo to properly function.
  • Enhanced Logging: We've expanded our logging capabilities to provide more detailed information, helping our team to troubleshoot issues more effectively.
Bug Fixes
  • Fixed error when buying a subscription to Cargo from an already existing account
Cargo 1
This update addresses one thing, and it's the long awaited Unreal Engine update where we no longer ask you to install the plugin per project. We hope that this is a helpful change for those working in Unreal :)
Do note that this update will require you to re-setup Unreal Engine by going through software setup. Additionally all old Unreal plugins will have to be removed manually to ensure correct version support over time.
Quality of Life Improvements
  • Unreal Engine plugin now installs on a per Engine Version Basis instead of per project.
  • Unreal Engine’s in editor Cargo UI has been reworked to be easier to find and clearly show when you’re connected to Cargo.
This version was mostly focused on improvements to our Houdini integration. We've now added support for Houdini 20 while addressing some concerns that we saw here in the feedback center.

  • Fixed MaterialX displacement issues in Houdini
  • Fixed Arnold displacement issues in Houdini
  • Fixed Arnold UV issues in Houdini
  • Fixed Redshift bump issues in Houdini
  • Fixed excessively shiny materials in Houdini by adjusting default roughness
  • Fixed issue where users importing assets into an unsaved Houdini project would break references after saving by introducing $KITBASH_ASSETS variable to houdini.env. Users can now specify the default location that Houdini saves .hip files to via this variable
  • JPEGs were removed from Unity texture selections to maintain the quality of imports on materials, specifically transparent materials.

We are so excited for this release to finally unveil a new section in Cargo: Vehicles.
We believe vehicles are an essential part of storytelling. They allow creators to show action, character, and make a world feel lived in. We’ve spent the last year and a half building up our vehicle library in anticipation for this, and some have been sprinkled into Kits that have released. We finally have a backlog ready of new vehicle Kits that we’ll be releasing on a regular basis, and with that, a new way to browse in Cargo.
You can find the vehicles tab on the left nav menu. In here you can filter by genre (Fantasy, Real World, Sci -fi, etc) as well as Vehicle Type (Air, Land, Sea). Over the next year we’ll be introducing new vehicles that work cohesively with a variety of Kits so keep an eye out for fantasy carriages, cyberpunk motorcycles, real world sports cars and pick up trucks, and so much more!
New Features
  • Vehicles are live! With a new browser that let’s you get up close and personal with all of their incredible details.
Software Support
  • Added Houdini render engine support for Arnold, Karma, Redshift and VRay
  • Houdini Improvements include geometry collapsed into subnets and attribute names added to geometry
  • Added Cinema4D 2024 support
  • Added support for Redshift Standard Materials for Cinema4D
Quality of Life Improvements
  • Software Setup is now optional and we’ve removed the Dark Fantasy Castle test asset to reduce steps and improve speed.
  • Blender node network is no longer on top of itself when importing materials
  • Reworked In App Messages to let you know when new Kits have been added to your account.
Bug Fixes
  • Resolved an issue that caused Advanced Software Setup to fail on some occasions
  • Resolved an issue that caused Cargo to crash when using Unity on some occasions
  • Resolved an issue that caused Unity imports to fail with errors
  • Resolved an issue that caused materials not show up in Cinema4D on some occasions

With this update, we’ve added Cargo integrations for all of KitBash3D’s previously supported 3D software and render engines, including Cinema 4D, Unity and Houdini.

We're excited to bring a beta version of our Cargo x Unity integration! We appreciate any and all feedback here so that we can polish this integration as much as possible before it goes live officially.
We've also added the ability to change your download folder! You can access this from your accounts page under software settings. When you change your download folder, you'll be given the option to copy your existing files to the new location or leave them be. This should help keep things linked in your 3D scenes when you change download folders and prevent the need to redownload assets.
We're making our way through the feedback and trying to update as often as possible. Thank you all for your amazing feedback on this platform, it's guiding our roadmap each day and we're excited to get this version in your hands!
This update includes:
  • Unity Support (Beta) for versions 2020.1 to 2023.1 (and all in between versions)
  • Change Download Folder location feature added (accessible through software settings in your account page)
  • Ability to copy downloaded files to a new folder location
  • Cargo Teams Early Access launches. For more information, visit https://kitbash3d.com/pages/enterprise
