Genetica 3.5 revealed

02.07.2009

Spiral Graphics Inc. has revealed Genetica 3.5, a new version of its Windows-only seamless texture, animation, and HDRI environment map editor. Version 3.5 adds texture synthesis to its arsenal of features. This technology, which creates seamless textures from photographic sources, allows artists to achieve photorealistic results easily, while still affording them a vast range of creative options for controlling the texture generation process. The entire process is non-destructive, allowing artists to tweak any past decision and see the result in seconds. Other new capabilities include texture bombing, and an innovative way to remove unwanted perspective and distortion from texture photos. See this page for more information on new features. The upgrade also introduces a reworked multi-core rendering engine that will bring significant speed improvements. Genetica 3.5 is expected to be released in the third quarter of 2009 as a free update to licensed users of Genetica 3.0. It can also be pre-ordered now for a 25% discount. [source]
