Noesis Studio Beta Now Available!

📢 Read the Alpha announcement thread here

We are thrilled to announce the beta release of Noesis Studio! Over the past year, we have been refining and expanding Noesis Studio based on the invaluable feedback from our alpha testers. Now, as we move closer to a production-ready version, we’re excited to open access to a broader audience.



What’s New in Beta?

Since the alpha, we’ve focused on stability, user experience, and functionality improvements. Here’s what you can expect:

✅ Major Features Implemented – We’ve completed the core feature set. No new major features will be added until the Beta reaches a stable state.
✅ Improved Stability – Many crashes have been resolved, and overall performance has been enhanced.
✅ Refined User Experience – The Triggers panel, Animations, and Keyframes editor have been redesigned for a smoother workflow.
✅ Workflow Enhancements – We’ve unified Triggers with Interactivity, improved the Data panel, and streamlined core workflows.

What’s Next?

While the beta represents a significant step forward, there are still key areas in development. During this beta phase, we will focus on:

🔹 Further improving stability to reach production-ready quality.
🔹 Including Studio in the official SDK for easier integration.
🔹 Expanding documentation and tutorials to better support users.
🔹 Adding more sample projects to showcase Noesis Studio’s capabilities.
🔹 Unity & Unreal Engine integration (not yet supported).
🔹 Support for macOS and Linux.

Get Started

We provide eight sample projects (Coriolis, DashMoto, Engineering, Ombra, Paradigm, Squad, Z3L and Alembic) to help you explore Noesis Studio’s capabilities. We recommend starting with these before creating your own projects.
