Figma adds code layers, support for animations, more AI features in new update
Figma's update adds a new code layer, support for motion and shaders, and the ability to create custom plug-ins for various tasks using AI.
TL;DR
- Figma now features code layers, allowing direct integration of code into the design canvas for easier collaboration and cloning of repositories.
- Support for motion, animations, transitions, and 3D transforms has been added, eliminating the need for external software.
- AI capabilities are enhanced, enabling the creation of assets, shader effects, and custom plug-ins via text prompts.
- The platform is integrating Weavy, a node-based tool acquired last year, for generating workflows directly within Figma.
- Figma's AI assistant is more useful with the addition of repeatable skills created from text prompts and connections to external tools like Notion, Excel, and GitHub.
