- New: Layer based fields now use a Mapping to project the Layer in 3D
- Change: particle physics and collisions are now handled by rules ("Collide" particle condition + "Bounce" particle action)
2D Effects
- New: Bezier Patch 2d placement (mesh warp)
- New: N-Point Gradient Layer Generator
- New: Frame delay 2D modifier (one modifier by delayed frame)
