Here is a shortlist of some of the great new features available in Vue 11.5: - EcoCollision: The revolutionary EcoParticle technology can now make EcoParticles collide with EcoSystem instances. This also works with Vue 11's Rain and Snow weather effects.
- Render Stack Improvements: Many improvements have been added to the Render Stack such as flipping renders horizontally, merging render areas, reloading camera settings or setting stacks per scene.
- Improved Material Management: The material summary was redesigned for improved display and manipulations of all materials in the scene. Material management from the World Browser also received several productivity enhancements.
- Color Input/Ouput Function in the Post Render Options: A new Color Channel Editor (Color curves) is available from the Post Render Options, allowing direct and precise color adjustment directly in Vue.
- World Browser Improvements: Many productivity enhancements were added to the world browser such as massive responsiveness gain thanks to internal optimization and new display options for materials, objects and layers.
- Camera Management Improvements: Camera attributes can be frozen to avoid any unwanted modification to camera animation paths. Camera can also be saved and reloaded as Vue objects files.
- RenderNode GI Prepass-only Rendering: The Vue 11.5 RenderNodes can be set to only render the GI pre-pass and save it for future use allowing major gain in network rendering time.
- And more...

When we say that Carbon Scatter 2 is "The Most Powerful Population Plug-in for 3ds max, Maya and Cinema 4D", we mean it! But don't take our words for granted. Here are a couple of quotes from Carbon Scatter 2 reviewers: "Carbon Scatter 2 is rather addictive. You start using it one day, and before you know it - you can't get enough of it! It is really nice being able to make millions of instances at the click of a button and still have interactive performance. With Carbon Scatter 2 you wield the power of millions or more!"
Kurt Foster - Renderosity.
"Carbon Scatter 2 clearly has loads of power under the hood, and is fun to use! Even with tens of thousands of instances, the scene still remains fluidly interactive."
Steve Jarratt - 3D World Magazine #168.
"Carbon Scatter 2 is an ingenious plug-in that every digital artist should add to his 3D arsenal. With its ability to generate millions of instances and its advanced distribution technology, the program manages to create scenes of a complexity otherwise impossible to achieve."
