Rocksolid Studio 26.1 Brings a Refined Interface, macOS support and production-ready reference projects

Until now, Rocksolid Studio has been available on Windows and Linux. With this release, we are introducing the first beta version for macOS, giving Mac users a chance to start working in the Studio, making collaboration easier across different operating systems.  

The macOS beta includes the same feature set as the Windows and Linux versions, with shared project compatibility across both platforms. The only exception is OpenXR, which is not yet supported on macOS. We plan to introduce OpenXR support for Rocksolid Studio on macOS in the next release. 

The new reference projects are available as Add-ons.

We have made it easier to get started with Rocksolid Studio with production‑ready reference projects. These projects are available separately as paid add‑on modules.

Reference projects included in this release:

• AR HUD 

• Instrument Cluster

• Multiscreen Experience

The reference projects give a solid foundation for professional AR and HMI applications and can be customized to match your feature requirements and brand design.

This is the largest UI update we have ever released for Rocksolid Studio. The aim has been to make the interface clearer, more consistent, and easier to work with. 

• New widget UI:

Core widgets, including the Hierarchy, Viewport, Properties, Asset Manager, and Export Dialog, now follow the updated design style.

• Custom Icon Set:

All UI icons have been replaced with a new custom icon set.

• Custom Layout Engine:

The legacy golden-layout library has been replaced with a purpose-built widget layout system offering better stability and flexibility.

• New Launcher

The launcher has been refreshed, enabling easy access to proxy settings and a more consistent layout across platforms.

The new Nodegraph Minimap

This release brings several updates to the node graph experience, aimed at making large graphs easier to navigate and work with.

• Minimap

A new minimap gives you a better overview of large graphs. It helps you keep track of the overall structure without losing sight of where you’re currently working.

• Multi‑word search

Search now supports multiple terms. Each word is matched independently, making it easier to find the nodes you need using partial names or related keywords.

• New Nodes

  This release also adds several new nodes. A few highlights include:

  • Node Deprecation Warnings
    

    Deprecated nodes are now clearly marked in the graph. Compilation warnings link directly to documentation for recommended alternatives, and the “Issues Found” indicator only appears when there are actual errors.

• • Set Orientation from Vectors
    

    Allows setting an object’s orientation using forward, right, and up direction vectors.

• • Array to Vector
    

    Converts an array value into a vector.
