Eovia Corp., developer and publisher of leading 3D software tools, released Eovia Carrara 5.1, a free update to its complete 3D solution. Carrara 5.1 delivers enhanced stability and an array of compelling new capabilities.
New in this release is a redesigned tree modeler which includes wind simulation and a revisited interface that makes it easier to create complex trees by splitting the design process into distinct steps such as trunk, branches, leaves and foliage creation. Additionally, the new Universal Manipulator in the Carrara 5.1 Assemble Room speeds your work process by enabling you to move, rotate and scale objects without ever having to change tools. Improving scene lighting abilities, Carrara 5.1 now lets you apply lens flare effects on distant lights such as the sun. Volumetric light now also fully interacts with transparent surfaces and volumetric objects such as clouds or fog. In addition to new features, Carrara 5.1 has added many important fixes for even greater reliability and performance.
Carrara 5.1 full version is priced at $249, with the advanced Carrara 5.1 Pro available for $549. Upgrade pricing for owners of previous Carrara versions starts at $99. Current Carrara 5 owners can download the upgrade free of charge from the Eovia website.
