Limner 0.1.0 (early preview)

The first build of Limner you can download and run: paint and animate in 3D, on the desktop or in a VR headset. This is an early preview.

Windows

1. Download Limner-0.1.0-windows-x64.zip below.
2. Unzip it anywhere (right-click, Extract All).
3. Double-click Limner.exe in the Limner folder.

Nothing else needs installing.

• "Windows protected your PC": the app is not signed yet, so SmartScreen warns the first time. Choose More info, then Run anyway.
• Headsets: with a headset connected through Meta Quest Link, SteamVR or another OpenXR runtime, Limner starts in the headset; otherwise it opens on the desktop. Headset support has not yet been tried on real hardware, so expect rough edges there. Reports are very welcome.
• Graphics: Limner draws with Vulkan, which most graphics cards and chips from the last several years support. If it does not start, update the graphics driver first.

Windows 10 and 11, 64-bit. Tested on Windows 10 with a GeForce RTX 4060.

What is in it
