Geo3D 2.5.8 (Mac OS X) (April 18, 2009)

• Opening empty files could cause a crash
• Command key issue under Rosetta fixed
• Internal improvements

Quesa related

• Rayshade renderer: uv transform bug fixed
• Memory leak fixed

Known limitations

• Reading text 3DMF files is limited; therefore I suggest - if possible - to convert these files using Anatas Classic.

• Mode “Launch URL”: Added 2nd root folder for relative paths (see “Preferences/General”.

• Navigation by keys issue fixed
• Slightly modified menus

Quesa related

• Hiddenline renderer added
• Improved renderers (especially Wireframe)

Anatas 1.3b4 (Mac OS X) (September 3, 2006)

• Anatas X relies on Quesa. Currently writing text 3DMF files are not supported. Some object types may be ignored as well; therefore I suggest - if possible - to use Anatas Classic.

• Added editable default light settings for ambient, directional, and head light
• Fixed issue when switching to/from mode modification Walk
• Picture export has sometimes disabled certain menus

Mac OS X

• Headlight works correctly

Rosetta

• Fixed picture export bug. Now Geo3D should fully work under Rosetta

• GUI improvements
• Fixed window stack bug

Mac OS X

• Quesa: VRML import 1.0.2, bug fixes

Geo3D 2.5.2 (9) / 2.5.2b1 (X) (September 13, 2005)

• Reading 3DMF viewhints: fixed renderer issue
• Improved document name handling (stationaries, etc.); fixed window proxy behaviour
• Top, left, and front view: ignore fog
• Light panel: missing lights caused a 3DMF write bug

Mac OS X

• Writing viewhints (camera, lights, viewpoints, etc.) is now supported

• 3DS import added
• Various Quesa related bug fixes and optimizations

Geo3D 2.5b3 Mac OS X (October 2, 2004)

• Now Geo3D X can read models with unknown custom elements (e.g models from www.greatbuildings.com)

New features and improvements

• Picture export: JPEG, PNG, TIFF. and Photoshop added
• Now the velocity is always constant when using a constant framerate (for navigation, animation, viewpoint transitions)
• Much faster rendering of top, left, and front view
• Mode walk has been optimized
• Picking/dragging/hiliting urls and names: ignore axes and planes
• Info window/bar: The number of decimal digits will be calculated
