- New: Curvature Map for surface analysis
- New: Lighting altitude control
Search for materials in Visualization
You can now search for materials by name, type, or finish to quickly locate the one you need. Whether you’re working with metals, plastics, or custom textures, the new search bar makes material selection more efficient.
Shaded and Visualized shader options
Choose between Shaded and Visualized display modes to control how your model’s surfaces appear. Use Shaded to focus on geometry without distraction, or switch to Visualized to see applied materials in context.
Curvature Map for surface analysis
Use the new Curvature Map option to analyze surface continuity and Gaussian curvature directly on your model. This tool highlights surface transitions, helping you verify smoothness and detect potential issues early in the design process.
Lighting altitude control
The light in Visualization Environments can now be adjusted by altitude. This gives you more control over shadows and highlights, making it easier to inspect surface quality or create presentation-ready renders.
