Enrich your scenes with Incari’s post effects

Looks matter in design. A visually appealing user interface efficiently maximizes the user experience. Incari Studio has all the needed tools to make sure your project is as beautiful as it is functional. With the 2022.2 preview release, we introduced post effects to enrich your work quickly and efficiently.

Easily create high-quality visuals

A post effect, also commonly known as a post-processing effect, is a visual effect that is placed over an object, scene, or image. Post effects visually manipulate light and darkness. Once applied, it will change the appearance of the selected component or scene. This operation occurs after the frame has been rendered. The effect interacts with the color value of each pixel to create the desired result.

Introducing Incari Studio post effects

With the 2022.2 release of Incari Studio, we have now added the possibility to employ post effects in your project. Here are the two main post effects that we have introduced:

  • Bloom
    Bloom relates to light exposure and creates the effect of light bleeding onto surrounding areas and objects. Highlights over a specific threshold are blurred and brightened. The borders of these bright areas get a fringed or feathered light look.
  • Lens flare
    Lens flares are rings or circles that provide a haze to your image or scene. This flare happens when a bright light source shines directly into the camera lens.

With future releases, we will continue to add new post effects to help you create even higher-quality visuals to stimulate the user experience and optimize your user interface designs.

Quickly and easily apply your post effects

Using the new Incari post effects is simple. To see all settings go to Global Preferences and open the View Port tab. Afterward, select Screens and now you can apply the desired post effect in your Attribute Manager. You can also add a drop shadow or glow effect by using a vector effect. You can manage the vector styling easily and adjust them to your needs in the Attribute Editor.

Incari increases efficiency and quality

Post effects elevate the look and feel of your design. By utilizing Incari Studio, your HMI projects will be reduced up to 70% in average development time.

Optimizing Human Machine Interactions through senses

How humans and machines interact is changing. The user experience is growing more complex and interactive. We no longer rely only on our mouse and keyboard. Incari Studio supports a variety of HMI input types to provide you with more ways to maximize the user interaction experience.

Triggering the senses

HMI is the way a human being interacts with every kind of machine. These interactions can trigger multiple cognitive senses such as sight, hearing, touch, and speech. These senses allow us to observe, interact, command, and control the actions of machines.

Using Incari Studio Input types

When it comes to input types there is a wide variety. Here is an overview of the, currently, supported input types in Incari Studio and how you and your team can use them:

  • Mouse
  • Keyboard
  • Touchscreen
  • Spacial gestures

Utilizing spacial gestures for commands

In early 2022 Ultraleap and Incari came together to create a more intense, all-around human-machine interaction. With the UltraLeap 3Di, you can control your computer using gestures such as grabbing, pinching, swiping, and holding objects. By integrating UltraLeap in Incari Studio users can control machines in the air. Canceling out the need for touch-based input types.

Haptics: Making hand tracking feel real

A sense that is vital for many is touch. A lack of said sense can decrease the user experience significantly. Haptics is a technology that combines the senses of touch and motion to create air-based physical stimulation. Ultraleap’s Haptics technology triggers individual speakers that send ultrasound waves through the air. Once these ultrasound waves interact with the skin, it creates the physical sensation of pressure. Pressing a button mid-air can feel as real as when using a touchscreen.

Redefining how you interact with machines

Incari Studio allows you to investigate new ways of interacting and experiencing HMIs. Utilize all senses, and create user interfaces for any device and industry with ease and without the need for extensive coding knowledge. Easy to use, Incari Studio enables you to create for the future.

Filtering and grouping with tags

Creating an organized digital workspace is key for productivity and internal overview. Our Incari Studio 2022.2 release promotes increased structure, and seamless workflows through tagging.

Every person has their own preferred workflow. The creation of HMI solutions involves a lot of different team members and departments. Tagging and grouping metadata makes applying operations and filtering much more organized and straightforward, regardless of your department and role within a project.

Metadata: the matriarch of all things data

Metadata refers to data containing information about other data. Metadata is a summary of various pieces of data.

Accommodating changes and workflow optimization

Tagging provides a simple way of assigning labels to objects within your scene. A tag creates a relationship between them. If you are, for example, looking for objects with shared properties, you can efficiently search in the logic and filter based on their communal tag.

Incari Studio Tagging and grouping

Assigning tags is done in the Attribute Editor. Filtering and applying changes can now be done quickly and efficiently in your project logic. Select the objects within your scene that you want to alter by selecting their shared tag and applying the changes. The rest of your scene will stay unaffected.

Creating efficiency and simplicity with Incari Studio

Whether you are a designer, engineer, or supplier, Incari Studio has been developed to be used by everyone. No coding knowledge is needed, just a creative problem-solving mindset. The new Tagging system complements the seamless workflow between all teams and departments.

Nested Prefabs: Working smarter with increased flexibility

Chances are you will use component variants in your HMI projects. Creating these variants can be time intensive if done manually. Luckily, Prefabs can simplify this process and leaves less room for error. We are now introducing Nested Prefabs with the Incari Studio 2022.2 preview release.

Create, edit and override

A Prefab is a component that consists of various assets. For example, a Prefab can be a button menu. The buttons and the background are the assets. A Prefab essentially is the collection of selected elements. A Prefab is created in the Incari Studio Asset Manager and encompasses its own logic, design, and behavior. A copy of a Prefab is called an Instance and stays connected to the original Prefab. A benefit of Prefabs is that you can use, copy and transfer them between projects.

Nesting for more freedom

A Nested Prefab is simply a Prefab instance stored within another Prefab. Nested Prefabs allow you to create larger and more complex structures. This way, you maintain references to Prefabs inside other Prefabs. With Nested Prefabs, you no longer have to place a Prefab into a scene to trigger it. You can activate them from within your Nested Prefab.

The benefits of Nested Prefabs in Incari Studio 2022.2

Prefabs are not new to Incari Studio, but with our 2022.2 preview release, we extended the nesting functionalities and advanced their benefits. With the latest update you get:

  • Quick and seamless importing
  • Faster saving and loading times
  • Higher performance
  • Smaller sized projects
  • A clean, clutter-free workspace
  • Increased editing flexibility
  • Trigger a Prefab from another Nested Prefab

Easily and seamlessly work on UI components

Looking to create a Nested Prefab to optimize your UI project workflow? Here are two ways to generate them in Incari Studio 2022.2:

  • Working in an existing project?
    You can use an already existing Prefab. Go to the asset manager and select the “parent” Prefab. Open the parent Prefab and drag the child Prefab from the Asset Manager into the Viewport of the Scene Outliner. Don’t forget to save this change.

  • Creating Nested Prefabs from scratch
    If you are creating a new element and want to make this a Prefab you can easily create the new object within the Prefab. Right-click and select “make Prefabs” and continue working as usual.
