A note on the Windows warning
Windows will say "Windows protected your PC. Unknown publisher" when you
run the installer. Click More info, then Run anyway.
This appears because the installer isn't signed with a code-signing certificate,
which is a paid yearly subscription. It is not a virus warning. Windows is
saying it does not recognise the publisher yet, which is true of any new
application.

The new decal libraries (video) - Kits : Two new Cyberpunk decals kits available : H4X and JDM.
- Align guides on the Decal tool. A dotted crosshair through the decal's
center that stops at the artwork rather than at the placement box, so one
decal can be lined up against another. Off by default, toggled from Guides.

- A decal applied off the car stays loaded now instead of disappearing, so you

whole app uses, keep up to four presets, and DEFAULT YELLOW puts it back.

forc3-designer-v0.2.1
What's new in 0.2.1
Five more cars, two new classes, and the Decals Libraries reworked.
Cars -- 27 now, across seven classes
- Two new categories: Road & Hot Hatches, and Supercars & Hypercars.
- New: Alpine A290 Beta Concept, Audi RS 3 Sportback, Audi RS 6 Avant,

Decals Libraries
- The tabs are proper file tabs now: the selected one joins the sheet
below it and the outline runs around it. - The strip behind the tabs is see-through, so the car shows through it.
- Add moved to the left of the tabs.
- Less space between the decal thumbnails, and more above them.
Elsewhere
- The top bar is a little shorter, which gives the 3D view more room.

forc3-designer-v0.2.0
What's new in 0.2.0
The biggest release so far: layer masks, layer effects, seven more cars,
and a lot less waiting.
Masks
- Right-click a layer for Add Black Mask or Add White Mask, then paint to
hide or reveal. The brush, eraser, fill bucket, gradient and decals all
work on a mask. - While you edit one, the hidden area is tinted red on the car. An eye
button beside the MASK MODE tag turns that tint off. - Invert Mask, and Shift+click a layer's mask chip to bypass it without
deleting it. - The 3D Channel View dropdown gained a Mask entry.
Layer effects
- Stroke and Drop Shadow, both live -- nothing is baked into the layer, so
you can keep adjusting or remove them. - The drop shadow is aimed with a dial, and now falls the same way on
every panel of the car. It used to come out mirrored on one side. - A stroke can outline just the silhouette, or every hole as well.
- Fill applies the current colour and material values through a layer's
own shape, so a decal can be recoloured after it is placed. - The Effects panel floats beside the layers, and every value can be
typed instead of dragged.
Layers
- Select several layers and merge them.
- Drag a whole selection at once, including out of a folder.
- Lock and Delete act on everything selected.
- Drag a row by pressing anywhere on it, not just a grip.
Cars -- 22 now, across five classes
- New: Caterham Seven Academy, Ferrari F2004, Ferrari SF-25, BMW M2 CS
Racing, Ferrari 488 Challenge EVO, Lamborghini Huracan Super Trofeo
EVO2, Mazda MX-5 ND Cup. - Two new categories: Formula 1, and Single-Spec & One-Make.
Decals
- The Decals Libraries is now a shelf across the bottom of the 3D view,
and collapses out of the way. - My Decals is saved per project rather than shared between all of them.
- Applying a decal paints the layer you have selected instead of adding
one.
Speed
- The first brush stroke after picking a layer no longer stalls.
- Shift+drag to select panels starts smoothly instead of hitching.
- The Effects sliders respond as you drag them.
- Saving shows a progress bar rather than appearing to hang.
Fixes
- The brush edge is properly antialiased in the 3D view. It was a hard,
stair-stepped circle at full hardness. - About FORC3 Designer opens again -- it did nothing in 0.1.2.
- The layer right-click menu no longer opens off the edge of the window.
- The Top orthographic view lays the car out sideways, so the whole car
fits instead of being cut off at the nose and tail. - Ctrl+Z now steps back through a bezier path while you are drawing it.
- M returns the 3D Channel View to Final Result; , and . cycle through
the channels.

forc3-designer-v0.1.2
What's new in 0.1.2
Mostly speed, plus a batch of fixes.
Placing a decal is around 1.5x quicker and gradients almost 2x. Switching
or reordering layers no longer stalls on a document with a lot of layers,
and the app holds considerably less memory while you work.
Fixes
- Applying a decal no longer creates a "Decals" folder, and decal layers
are named the same whether you place them in the 2D or 3D view. - In Orthographic view, zooming in from the front or back no longer cuts
into the car. - Launching AC EVO no longer shows Windows' "open Steam?" prompt.
- A long report can no longer trap the app: Escape or a click outside
closes it, and it scrolls if it does not fit.
Layers
- Folders can be reordered, including empty ones.
- Layers inside a folder are marked with a rail so groups read clearly,
and empty folders are dimmed. - The visibility eye now sits beside the lock.
Elsewhere
- Gradient and Bezier swapped places on the tool bar, and their shortcuts
swapped with them: Q is Gradient, W is Bezier. - The colour picker gained an "Add to Swatches" button and shows the five
most recently saved colours. - An "Update available" badge appears in the header when there is one,
and Check for Updates moved to the Settings menu.

forc3-designer-v0.1.1
What's new in 0.1.1
Fixes the installer's final page, where the "Run FORC3 Designer" and "Create
desktop shortcut" checkboxes were almost invisible — dark text on a dark
background.
The app itself is unchanged from 0.1.0.
