What's new in StrobeRoom.
Release notes from the team: what we changed, why, and what is still on our list. StrobeRoom is in a private beta, planned to open to invited testers in Q2 2027.
StrobeRoom 1.13: standing poses that fit each person, and expressions for everyone
We went back to the standing poses: arms crossed, hand to chin, hands in pockets, hands together and hands on hips now fit each of the 20 people. Also in 1.13: expressions for Eric, Claudia and Carla, less graphics memory, and a first look at the next 3D set, a cafe.

StrobeRoom 1.10: faces up close, bounce light and a room at real scale
We spent this update on how the picture holds up close: eyes, teeth and skin, highlights in the shape of the light, bounce light in the live view, and apartment furniture at real size. Meter readings are unchanged.

Real gear in the studio: lights, modifiers and cameras modelled in Blender
We rebuilt every light, modifier, stand and camera in StrobeRoom as a 3D model at real size. A speedlight, a silver umbrella and a snoot join the kit, and the light they give is unchanged.
