New

  • Blender addon: Overseer now also runs in Blender (4.2 LTS and newer). The same web UI, analysis, naming, layers and asset tools, shipped as its own Overseer-Blender-v1.1.0.zip. Install via Edit > Preferences > Add-ons > Install..., then open it from View3D > Sidebar (N) > Overseer.
  • Visible areas profile (Misc): untick the areas you don't use. They leave the menu, skip their background work and stop counting toward the overall health score. Stored per machine, not per scene.
  • Open in browser (Misc): one click opens the same UI in your default browser, for hosts where the embedded window misbehaves (reported on Cinema 4D 2026). Same local server, nothing else changes.

Improved

  • Texture thumbnails no longer block Cinema: common formats (JPG, PNG, TIFF and friends) render off the main thread, so the embedded window stays responsive while previews load. Only EXR/HDR and renderer-specific formats still go through the Cinema bitmap engine.
  • Third-party renderer textures: texture maps from plugin renderers (Redshift and co.) are now found via their raw shader containers, so the Textures area sees them too.
  • Cinema 4D 2026 counts: the Overview now counts generator caches and render instances correctly on 2026.

Fixed

  • Freeze when filtering textures quickly: thumbnail loading is debounced and serialized; rapid filter clicks no longer lock up Cinema 4D.
  • Endless refresh loops on some setups: normalized document-name comparison, a negative cache for empty material previews and a watcher storm breaker (with a visible pause notice) stop the loop for good.

One codebase, two hosts. Same web UI and features on both.
