AutoDesSys, Inc. is pleased to offer the first public appearance of form.Z 6.1, the universal binary version, at Macworld 2007. "While this version may look a lot like form.Z 6.0, many significant changes have occurred behind the scenes," said David Kropp, Senior VP of Development. Alexandra Yessios, VP of Sales and Marketing, added that "judging by the numbers of update orders, our customers must agree with the direction form.Z is taking. New orders are on the climb as well." Please visit Booth #2021 for a live demo.
THE MAJOR IMPROVEMENTS IN A NUTSHELL:
- The Macintosh version is universal binary and runs natively on Macintosh Intel hardware. The performance improvement is a significant factor that has customers raving about their newly enhanced productivity level.
- The reliability of smooth modeling operations and support of the .sat r16 file format are a result of the integration of ACIS r16.
- LightWorks 7.6 has been integrated in form.Z 6.1 resulting in the improvement of the reliability of RenderZone and Shaded rendering. Additional new rendering features offered by LW7.6, including final gather type of global illumination will also be released in the very near future.
- form*Z 6.1 is built with a new suite of development tools that improves performance and supports the new advancements in Lightworks and ACIS. This same advancement makes it impossible to support the previously available legacy DWG/DXF translators. The included DWG/DXF plugin reads v2.5 through 2006 and writes version 12 through 2006.
- A plugin by Pylon Technical for formZ: Lighting Collection 1 has been developed and was designed to make lighting in form.Z as fast and easy as possible, to deliver higher quality renderings in less time. Pylon Technical will have a stand for live demonstrations at the AutoDesSys booth.
- A plugin for Archvision's RPC (Rich Photorealistic Content) product is included with form*Z 6.1. RPC allows the user to place realistic looking entities, such as people, furniture or cars without the overhead of a large number of polygons and excessive texture maps. This is available for Windows only.
