Updated

ColorUp is a new workspace that provides you with the ability to create new color options for a specific style in Stylezone. The new capabilities that the ColorUp workspace brings support a smoother ideation process and grant you the opportunity to make better decisions as you change the color and properties of textures and artworks in real-time.

Note

To use the ColorUp workspace, you can only use EGLB files uploaded from VStitcher 2023.1.2 and newer.

To enter the ColorUp workspace, in Stylezone select colorup-icon.png at the top of the Style Review window. The icon will be visible only when a valid EGLB file is uploaded.

To exit the ColorUp workspace, click the X icon at the top right of the ColorUp workspace.
