EVOQE announces the release of solidThinking 7.5

Vicenza, February 28, 2007 - Today EVOQE announces the release of solidThinking 7.5, now with advanced scene management and data interchange improvements, a much easier and more powerful native renderer, and support for the latest operating systems.

All four new versions of solidThinking will ship simultaneously for Windows and Mac OS X on March 15.

solidThinking 7.5 is the suite of fully parametric and history-driven Class A surface and solid modeling environments, with photorealistic rendering and animation, created for industrial designers, style centers, and demanding CG artists.

A wide array of advanced and intuitive curve, surface and solid tools for NURBS modeling are easily accessible to both Windows and Mac OS X users through a familiar interface.

Now with class leading interactive Construction History and plug-in access to Maxwell Render in all versions. Innovations and Enhancements in solidThinking 7.5 include:

• Windows Vista ready
• Mac OS Leopard ready
• New plug-in integration of Next Limit's Maxwell Render available in all versions of solidThinking for ultimate visual realism
• Redesigned and improved native renderer with Final Gather, HDR environment lighting, and hundreds of preset materials, lights and environments
• Enhanced scene and construction history management with unlimited modeling layers, drag-and drop organization, visual Construction Tree
• Refined user-interface for easier modeling, rendering, animation, dimensioning, and file interchange
• Both new and improved file I/O modules for increased compatibility with external applications
• Two new versions of solidThinking, solidThinking MODELER and solidThinking MODELER XL, providing advanced history-based modeling at more affordable pricing.

The Power of Full Construction History
With solidThinking release 7.5, even our most affordable versions are built around the most interactive and powerful construction history available today.

Solids and surfaces are quickly and dynamically rebuilt as you manipulate source objects or parameters, eliminating repeti-tive manual reconstruction and streamlining revisions. This fluidly interactive Construction History incorporates everything from the point level up to entire complex assemblies, and it exponentially accelerates creativity when modeling. Interactive surface and curve analysis tools work in concert with this flexible system to provide instant visual feedback for main-taining the highest quality models.

Advanced Communication Tools The unique and powerful tools in solidThinking 7.5 are communicated to the user through a fluid and familiar interface, reducing the learning curve and increasing productivity.

As always, solidThinking provides complete design communication through advanced rendering, animation, VR output, and powerful file interchange and CAD interoperability.

New in solidThinking 7.5 is the free inclusion of a direct interface to the standalone Maxwell Render system from Next Limit Technologies.

Availability: Available March 15 from international VARs or from Evoqe directly.

Platforms: Windows 2000/XP/Vista and Mac OS X (Universal Binary)
