For larger images or complex layers, the preview animation might appear slower due to the processing cost of real-time distortion and shading or anti-aliasing enabled. This won’t affect the final generated result.

  • Add real-time shading with lighting and shadow control
  • Optional anti-aliasing and smooth/detailed shading modes
