Autodesk has launched Softimage 7.5, adding features such as UV unfolding technology and an integrated mental ray renderer into the popular game creation and visual effects application.
This release sees a name change for the software, which was formerly known as Softimage|XSI and was acquired by Autodesk from Avid Technology.
"It has been three months since we acquired substantially all of the assets of Softimage and its integration into Autodesk is going extremely well, says Marc Petit, Autodesk Media & Entertainment senior VP. The team has kept Softimage 7.5 on plan and it has shipped without delay. We remain committed to delivering solid future releases of the software."
The UV Unfolding Technology enables artists to unwrap polygon models with just a few clicks. The package also provides UV editing tools that assist in the creation and editing of UV maps.
Softimage 7.5 also includes a Multithreaded Syflex Cloth Simulator, enabling artists to use the cores on their machine to iterate faster. Also, scenes saved in Softimage 7.5 will load into Softimage 7.0. :radar::cool::rolleyes::tasty::twisted::niceone:
