Let’s take a look at the benefits of the new version.
New Features and Benefits
With the 5.1, you could now edit patterns, render all Cameras and Viewsets and it even has support for touch-enabled devices, which are far too common these days. It has retina displays and support for PTC Creo 3.0 and Cinema 4D. It is the greatest and most up to date in 3D rendering and visualization that you will find today.
Here are some additional pros:
-
Pattern Updates – You will find new pattern updates for the 5.1 such as ability to Edit Pattern, automatically Adjust Camera and set Scattering. Any part of the pattern can be used now to bring up edit options for the pattern.
-
