⚠️ Extensibility & Engine Integration

Please note that StudioTool is a "vanilla" build of Noesis Studio. Because it is a standalone executable, it is not extensible. You cannot load custom C++ converters, proprietary UI controls, or link it directly to your game data.

If you need to extend Studio with your own user controls or integrate your UI directly into your game, you need to use the fully extensible Noesis Studio versions included inside our SDKs.

💬 Share Your Feedback & Bug Reports

At this stage, your feedback is incredibly valuable to us.

Please share your experiences and first impressions by opening a new thread in this sub-forum. Engaging with other participants in our community will help us improve Noesis Studio together. Additionally, our tracker is available for reporting any specific problems you encounter.

We've streamlined the process for reporting crashes. Should StudioTool crash, a dialog will appear allowing you to provide context and details about what you were doing at the time. Simply click the "Send" button to automatically submit the crash dump to our servers. These reports help us quickly identify and address issues to ensure a smoother experience for everyone.
