This week was a big one for sitting inside the tools you already use, and for stuffing Layer with fresh models. Photoshop’s native plugin is live. Blender early access is open. Workflows got sharper. And the model shelf filled up again across 3D, video, music, and speech.
Here’s what shipped.
Native Photoshop plugin is live 🎨
Layer’s native Photoshop plugin is here. Bring your custom LoRAs and Layer features into Photoshop so you spend far less time bouncing between apps. Masked edits stay on the area you selected, so refinements stay precise.
Layer for Blender (early access) 🧊
Generate into your open Blender scene from a native sidebar, and chat with the agent while it works on the file. Early access is open now if you want to try the loop inside Blender itself.
New models across the stack 🔥
We’re expanding the lineup again. This week’s wave includes Meshy V7.1 and Tripo P2 for 3D, Kling motion control (v2.6 and v3) plus Higgsfield Soul 2 / Soul Cinema / Genjutsu for motion transfer and object swap, Luma Ray 3.2, MiniMax H3 Max Extend (now the default video extend), PixVerse VibeMV, and MiniMax H3 Max 3D-to-video. On image and audio: Seedream 5 Flash, Lyria 3.5, and Gemini 3.8 Flash TTS / Flash Lite TTS. Latest OpenRouter chat models are available to pick from, and models that support it can return their own transparency (alpha).
Find anything fast with ⌘K 🔍
⌘K now opens as a board of your workspace, then collapses into search as you type. Templates, files, workflows, models, sessions: one shortcut, less hunting.
Cinematic technique library on video forms 🎬
Video forms now include a cinematic technique library with dedicated slots to pick from. Drop in the shot language you want without rebuilding the prompt from scratch every time.
Animation and performance libraries 🎞️
Animated mesh previews play in the viewer, tiles get looping video thumbnails, and video forms now open performance / animation libraries you can scroll and pick from.
More artist tools that save clicks
Download 3D as OBJ with PNG textures, or as FBX for Tripo models. Batch size is back on Create Image and Prompt Generator (for models that return a batch). Prompt @-mentions suggest reference sets by project and model. Ask the agent for costumes, cosmetics, reskins, and fashion on characters. Combine several images into one layered PSD. Pixel-art sprite agent apps land on templates. And the agent can query, describe, and pick assets on the session board.
Workflows: clearer, shareable, stoppable ⚙️
Published workflows show their own designed form in the run box. You’ve got visibility filters, a Share dropdown, and Make private. Export a published workflow as JSON from the canvas, or import a whole graph through the Layer MCP. Stop a whole-graph run from the header or from its running nodes. Node covers and a generated workflow cover land on publish.
Open Layer and try these in your next session: layer.ai
