🛠️ Big Updates Coming to the Somnium SDK in February!
Our Unity SDK is constantly evolving to provide creators with more power and flexibility. February brings a major update packed with essential new features:
🌉 Somnium SDK Bridge — Connecting Everything
The Somnium SDK Bridge is a powerful tool designed to streamline the development process, giving creators access to all essential and advanced features, including:
🔹 Environment Controls: Set skyboxes, sun source, ambient colors for full atmospheric control.
🔹 Networking: Check connection status, manage multiplayer game sessions, and sync player interactions.
🔹 Player Management: Track players in your WORLD, adjust motion settings, control voice levels, and teleport avatars.
🔹 Trigger Actions: Build interactive experiences with event-driven mechanics when objects or players enter, stay, or exit an area.
🔹 Advanced Video Player: Integrate AVPro video playback with full control over playback, seeking, and stopping.
⏩ Additional Key Updates
✅ Bridge System for Worlds — Enhances cross-world interactions and scalability.
✅ Respawning System — Set Respawn Height Y, determine spawn positions, or disable respawning entirely.
✅ Maintenance Mode — Allows safer updates to your WORLD without breaking the experience for visitors.
✅ Avatar Custom Animation Controls — Enables custom character movements and interactions inside your WORLD.
To help creators quickly integrate these new features, we are also releasing the Somnium SDK Template WORLD, where you can explore real examples of all these mechanics in action.
