Setting up the project for automatic renders
The Movie Render Queue is utilized to enable automatic rendering within the project.
Configuring Ray-Tracing
In order to activate automatic ray tracing rendering, you need to initially configure the following project settings as prerequisites, which only need to be done once for the entire project.
Configure project settings to look like the image below.

Automated Action Model Creation Process
To streamline the process of creating action models, assets, and attaching them to interactables, we now support direct editing within the Details Panel of interactables placed in the scene.
Using the Action Type dropdown, you can specify the type of interactable action. Once selected, the relevant properties will appear below the dropdown for configuration. This automatically creates and attaches the corresponding action models and action type assets to the interactable, significantly reducing the number of steps required.
If you forget to save your action models or action type assets, you can simply clear the action models array on the interactable and make a slight modification to any Action Type property. This will automatically regenerate the entire asset.
