Hi All,

3D Canvas 7 Beta 1 is now available for download: Download 3D Canvas 7

I'll be providing a full list of changes soon, but there is quite a bit of information available here: 3D Canvas 7.0 Progress

3D Canvas 7 can be installed along side 3D Canvas 6. There are no known conflicts.

3D Canvas 7 is a free upgrade for anyone who purchased either 3D Canvas Pro, 3D Canvas Plus, or a version upgrade March 19th, 2005 or later.

Model view in 6.6.5.11


1) Import of 6.6.5 model
The white objects should be greyed (material not taken into account)


2) Object properties / Clone : Couldn't type '–' sign in clone offset (I used the down arrow to have a negative offset)
3) I have an immediate use of the new clone option for my current model. Clone should be along the Z axis not the X axis

Object properties
Select a material (see black "circle")
A file selection window opens
Cancel
The material has disappeared

With the ability to get nearer to objects in perspective view (excellent update!), I cannot make such view:

It was useful to check my roof.

1) I'll probably need the model and texture. I'm really surprised at this bug. It looks like 3DC simply cannot find the texture for some reason. Can you sample the material and see if the material palette gets the right material. If so it's a rendering bug. Either way, I'll need the model.

2) Fixed

3) It works ok here. I'm a little puzzled. Can you send that example too?

4) That's intentional. It's the way to clear a texture. As far as I know all images in 3D Canvas work this way. Try clicking an image on the material palette.

5) You do have to get REALLY close, but if you do, you'll be able to see through.

I also fixed that problem where the import file name was not shown properly.

1) I believe I have fixed this now. The Unwrap and UVMap operations were broken. If I had to guess, I'd say that the UVMap was not reapplying which resulted in no texture.

Unfortunately the cab and buffer ones may not work for european users.
