# v2.30
## Improved View-only Mode
[View-only Mode](/user-guide/view-only-mode.md) now provides a dedicated interface for exploring sketches without exposing painting and editing tools. It works both in VR and without a headset, making it useful for exhibitions, demonstrations, shared headsets and dedicated viewer installations. In VR, viewers can move with the Fly or Teleport tools.
The non-VR experience now has a thumbnail grid for browsing local and Icosa Gallery sketches, improved loading and navigation, and touch controls for mobile devices. Steam users can choose **View-only Mode** when launching Open Brush. Dedicated viewer builds start in this mode automatically, while other regular builds can use the `--ForceViewOnly` command-line switch or matching config setting. This is independent of XR, so it can be combined with `--DisableXrMode` when a flat-screen viewer is required.
## Create Camera Paths by Flying
You can now create a [camera path](/user-guide/exporting-videos/camera-paths-tool.md) by recording a flight through your sketch. Start recording from the Camera Paths panel, use the Fly tool to move along the route you want, then stop recording to turn that movement into an editable camera path.
This is a more direct way to block out a camera move than placing every anchor point by hand. You can still adjust the resulting path, direction, speed and field of view before rendering it.
## Windows Explorer Sketch Thumbnails on Steam
The Windows Explorer thumbnail extension is now included with the Windows Steam release. A new button in Open Brush opens the installer location, making it easier to enable preview thumbnails for `.tilt` files without downloading the extension separately.
Once installed, the extension shows each sketch's saved thumbnail while you browse your files in Windows Explorer. Read more about [organizing your saved sketches](/user-guide/saving-and-sharing-your-open-brush-sketches.md#organizing-your-sketches).
## 8K Panorama Support
Offline ODS panorama rendering can now produce images up to 8,000 pixels wide. The existing 4,096-pixel default is unchanged, but advanced users can request a larger output with the `Video.OfflineResolution` setting in `Open Brush.cfg`.
Higher resolutions require more time and memory, so choose a size appropriate for your computer and final output. See the [360° / ODS video workflow](/user-guide/exporting-videos/360-ods-video-workflow.md) for the rest of the rendering process.
## Passthrough in Multiplayer
[Multiplayer rooms](/user-guide/multiplayer.md#passthrough-rooms) can now use passthrough environments. This lets several people paint together while each person sees their own real-world surroundings behind the shared Open Brush scene.
Open Brush keeps the passthrough environment consistent for everyone in the room and prevents accidental environment changes that would take a participant out of passthrough. Multiplayer rooms can also now support up to 12 people.
