#### **\[16 July 2025] Version 2.0 - UE5.4+ - The AI & Workflow Update**

  * **3D PBR Material Viewer:** A new viewport mode allows you to preview your generated materials on standard 3D meshes (Sphere, Cube, etc.) in a fully lit environment.
  * **Interactive Inpainting Canvas:** A new "Draw Mask" view mode provides a full-featured canvas for painting inpainting masks directly onto your input textures, with controls for brush type, size, and feathering.
  * **Enhanced 2D Viewer:** The 2D texture viewer now includes pan/zoom, tiling preview, and individual RGBA channel isolation.
* **Workflow Enhancements**
  * **Preset System:** Save and load entire job configurations, including all AI and procedural settings, as a `UDataAsset`.
  * **Content Browser Integration:** Right-click on any `Texture2D` and use the "Send to Texture Tools" context menu to instantly create a new job with that texture as the input.
