UI Improvements (2024.2)
Find UI layout improvements, such as side-by-side sliders, to help reduce the length of module sections, fields that extend the width of the window, and more, in various modules and editors. Icons have also been added to context menus, updated in warning dialogs, and those used as buttons, such as 
, now have a visible disabled state, 
.
Video captions: Within VRED, we have optimized the Transform Editor, so that the x, y, and z values are now horizontally placed, which brings more consistency to other modules and a horizontal reading direction tends to be more user-friendly.
Along with other changes like adding more missing icons to some context menus, we added now a unified renaming for decoupled modules like the Light Editor. So you can select multiple nodes and rename them in one go. This can save you a lot of time when dealing with similar or the same nodes.
You can also do this using the context menu or use Ctrl + R.
Bake Light and Shadows

Import Dialog
We added a General section that houses file types. When a file in the Import File List is selected, parameters appear to the right. Use the File Type dropdown menu to load parameters for that specific file type.
We also extended dropdown menus the width of the dialog.
Render Settings
We've made changes to the layout of the Render Settings module, so that the Renderpasses section is now laid out more like Visualization > Renderpass Rendering. And, better yet, we added Depth Mode, Depth Range, and Occlusion Range options to the Renderpasses section to provide more artistic freedom in post processing. See Render Settings and Renderpasses for the full details.
