🚀 GenPBR 2.4 Is Live — And 2.5 Is Right Behind It

GenPBR is growing fast — over 50,000+ textures generated in just weeks.
Today, we’re releasing GenPBR 2.4, a major step forward in UI, stability, and workflow clarity, while laying the foundation for upcoming pricing and licensing improvements.

🎨 1. GenPBR 2.4 — New Unified PBR Dashboard

The biggest usability upgrade since launch.

The former Canvas + WebGL workflows are now combined into one clean, compact dashboard at:

/dashboard/pbr

New improvements include:

• Unified interface — no more switching between generators

• Ctrl+V support for base colors - quickly paste images into the file picker!

• Less scrolling, faster workflows

• Improved generation controls

• Compact material preview

• More efficient texture outputs panel

• Better theme consistency & polish

• Clearer loading and render feedback

The entire flow of “upload → tweak → preview → export” is now smoother and far more usable.

🐞 2. Major Stability Fixes & Under-the-Hood Improvements

2.4 also ships with important stability fixes:

• Reduced render stalls

• Fewer mismatches in normal map output

• Clearer error handling & recovery

• Strengthened backend architecture

ORM packer + non-flagship tools will receive their own dedicated fixes in the next patches — thank you for your patience.

🏗️ 3. Backend Foundation for Upcoming Pricing Changes

2.4 includes the backend rework required for:

• Hybrid pricing (credits + plans)

• Updated licensing

• API usage tracking

• Lifetime packages

• Enterprise workflows

The UI changes are what you see today — the pricing/licensing changes will roll out during the 2.5 cycle.

🧭 4. GenPBR 2.5 Preview — Coming Soon

The next update focuses on transparency and power for pro and enterprise users.

API Keys → Full Usage Analytics (2.5)

You’ll soon get:

• Total credit usage

• Per-endpoint statistics

• Error counts

• Daily/weekly consumption graphs

• Render time insights

Think “Stripe Dashboard for textures.”

This brings real observability for pipeline engineers and teams.

🔥 5. Limited Release: 30 Lifetime Packages (Launching Today!)

To support the 2.5 upgrade, we’re releasing 30 Lifetime Licenses — once only.

• Monthly recurring credits
