AutoDesSys has released form·Z 6.5 and RenderZone Plus. RenderZone Plus is designed to offer an uncomplicated approach to powerful results that enrich 3D modeling for presentations, visualization, and animation. Form·Z 6.5 is a new rendering application that utilizes the features of RadioZity — which the company is retiring — while supporting global illumination (GI) via different techniques which include final gather, ambient occlusion, and improved radiosity. The software comes with more than 600 new predefined materials, a new symbol library with 24 new tree symbols, and interactive shading with OpenGL. Form·Z 6.5 requires Mac OS X 10.4.3 or later (pricing was unavailable).
