GPU Canvas is now on for everyone

GPU Canvas left Early Access and is on in the normal editor for every user, and its content now plays on share links and in the Marketplace.

GPU Canvas is Rive low level GPU layer for 3D, shaders and custom effects, driven by scripts. It was in Early Access. It is now on for everyone.

What Changed?

GPU Canvas is out of Early Access and available in the production editor for every user, and GPU Canvas content now plays on editor share links and in the Marketplace.

What This Means for You

Nothing in the course changes. The Scripting Course does not use GPU Canvas yet, so treat this as news rather than a correction. If you want to look at it, know that it is developer first and intentionally low level: you write the shaders and the draw calls yourself.
