What's New in BlendMotion
2.5.2
May 19, 2026
Major update bringing portrait orientation support, iPhone-Camera-style lens preset pills, and a polished tracking experience. - Portrait orientation — record handheld camera moves in either landscape or portrait. Switch anytime from Settings. - Lens preset pills (0.5× / 1× / 2× / 5×) with smooth spring animation, matching the iPhone Camera app feel. - Tracking status banners — clear, actionable messages when ARKit needs better lighting or more texture. - Improved reliability — reconnection no longer leaves the app stuck in paused state; Retake reliably clears all keyframes including lens. - Cleaner UI — refined layouts for both orientations, consistent haptics, sharper logging for support. Pairs with BlendMotion Blender addon v2.5.2). Wire-compatible with addon v2.0+, but v2.5.2 brings the latest fixes including experimental Wi-Fi stall smoothing for periodic recording bumps.
