We’ve added new placement tools, creatures, and assets to AquaDraft. Here’s a summary of this update.
Brush Placement: Moss & Carpet Plants
You can now grow moss and carpet-type plants by dragging across rocks, driftwood, or the substrate, instead of placing them one click at a time.
- Moss brush — Drag across the surface of rocks, driftwood, or the substrate to grow moss there. Adjust the brush size to shape a natural-looking growth.
- Carpet brush — Pick a plant, then drag across the substrate to spread a dense, even patch at the density you choose.
We’ve also made moss rendering lighter, so camera movement stays smooth even with moss placed. The look is unchanged — only the performance improved.
Creatures
We’ve refreshed the Cardinal Tetra model and added a Type II variant. We’ve also adjusted the brightness of all fish for a more natural look in the tank.
Plants
- Cryptocoryne Balansae
- Vallisneria II
- Hygrophila Polysperma
- Anubias Nana
- Rotala Indica
Driftwood
- Horn Wood / Horn Wood Type II — now organized under the same hierarchical UI as rocks, making it easier to pick a type.
Lighting & Night Mode
- Added the Flat Bar Light, a new light fixture design.
- Added the Floor Stand Lamp — placeable beside the tank, it lights up in night mode. You can switch its left/right and front/back position.
- Simplified night mode to a two-stage day/night toggle, and brightened it slightly so fixtures and stands stay visible at night.
Bug Fixes
- Fixed an issue where manually adjusted weights weren’t correctly saved and restored.
- Fixed an issue where loading a layout could shift item identities, causing weight/budget overrides to restore incorrectly.
- Fixed a bug affecting group rotation.
- Fixed an issue where the Dragon Stone could fail to load.
We’ll keep improving AquaDraft. ▶ Try AquaDraft
