Version 5.0 Update

This release introduces three separate editions of the pack — Starter, Lite, and Full — and expands the collection with complete scenes and vehicles.

New Structure
The asset pack is now split into three versions to match different production needs.
All three editions share the same organized layout in Blender’s Asset Browser but differ in overall content, with the Full edition providing the complete library.

New Content
Scenes and vehicles have been added to the Full edition, extending the pack beyond single assets and enabling full urban environments straight out of the box.

General Improvements
Internal file organization updated to support version-based distribution.

Minor clean-ups and consistency adjustments across the collection.

Assets have been saved with Blender 4.5.4, while all included scenes were created and saved using Blender 5.0.

Version 4.4 Update

Technical Changes:

• Unnecessary Scripts Removed: Several Python scripts that were accidentally saved within the .blend file have been deleted to streamline the file size and avoid confusion.

• Minor Fixes: Small bugs and inconsistencies across the asset collection have been resolved for a smoother user experience.

Version 4.3 Update

New Objects Added:

• Vienna Quad Lamp – Urban Streetlight
  A newly added streetlight based on a real-world Austrian design, perfect for urban night scenes and architectural environments.

• Signal Pole (5 m and 8 m versions)
  Inspired by authentic Austrian traffic infrastructure. Available in two different heights for flexible scene integration.

Technical Changes:

• Textures Unpacked in Root Folder of .blend Files
  Although all textures are still properly embedded inside the .blend files, they have also been unpacked into the root folder for easier access. This allows advanced users to make direct use of the textures when needed—ideal for customization or external workflows.

Version 4.2 Update

New Objects Added:

• Vienna Cityscape – A high-resolution background image featuring a classic view of Vienna

• Tactile Ground Surface Indicator – Directional Guide – For accessibility details in public spaces
