New in Create VR tool and improvements
Create VR now includes a Circle tool, which you can use to create perfect circles and ellipses. This tool is curve-based, so you can modify circles and ellipses using the Move CV tool, Add CV tool, or Slice Curve tool like you can with other curves. The Extrude tool also works with circles and ellipses.
The new Add CV Row tool lets you add rows of CVs to your surfaces. Use this tool to add CV rows is either direction. A new Remove CV Row tool lets you quickly delete rows of CVs on a surface. You can use this tool to delete the surface's original CVs in addition to CVs that you have added.
Create VR now supports the Oculus Rift™ S VR device. See About Create VR.
