Version history for Chisel.

1.2.0

New

• Array modifier — repeat shapes along an offset, with smooth blending between copies
• Circle Array modifier — repeat radially around X / Y / Z
• Curve Tube primitive — 3D Bezier sweep with per-point radius (Alt + S)
• Curve Revolve primitive — sweep a 2D profile around an axis
• N-sided prism (3, 5, 6, 8) with independent bevel and cap rounding
• Trapezoid with independent bevel and cap rounding
• Five rounding / blending profiles — Round, Sharp, Soft, Tight, Chamfer
• Mirror Smooth modal in the pie menu
• SDF custom normals option in the convert-to-mesh operator
• Auto-expand bounding box — replaces the old manual-padding setting
• Built-in matcaps with color tint
• Custom primitive icons in the pie and add menus
• Modifier panel toolbar — add, remove, and reorder modifiers without leaving the panel
• Viewport render resolution setting
• Progressive settled rendering — sharper frames once the viewport stops moving
• Blender 4.5 / EEVEE Next compatibility

Performance

• Faster camera orbit and panning
• Smoother viewport rotation across dense scenes
• Static-frame matrix caching to avoid redundant work

Fixed

• Clean operator works on any SDF object, not just parented children
• Curve boolean rendering and cache refreshes correctly
• Curve Revolve profile no longer creates negative-radius artifacts when crossing the axis
• Bake no longer produces black images on certain GPU drivers
• Pie menu modifier rows no longer overlap
• Prism bevel and cap match between viewport and mesh converter
• Prism chamfer blends and ray-march overshoot corrections
• First-frame rotation stutter and undo-related crashes
• Zero-rounding shapes render cleanly; cylinder rim normals are smooth
• Torus rebuilds correctly after editing minor radius
• Adaptive mesh refinement no longer leaves holes
• Flat shading after hide/unhide / undo is gone
• Broken chains are skipped instead of flat-shaded
• Gamma correction in the bake system is version-aware
• macOS / Metal compatibility

1.0.3

Fixed

• macOS / Metal backend compatibility

1.0.2

Fixed

• Orthographic rendering — hit condition, depth mapping, and LOD

1.0.1

New

• Progressive shader initialization with UI status warnings

Fixed

• OpenGL compatibility for boolean chain rendering
