New 3D Renderer The 3D Canvas 3D renderer has been completely re-written so as to allow for the new rendering features of today's 3D graphics cards.
	Real-time True Shadows True shadows can now be rendered in real time.
	Bump Mapping The new 3D Canvas renderer supports Dot Product 3 bump mapping.
	Cartoon Rendering Real-time Cartoon Rendering is now supported.
	Enhanced Support for Backdrop Plans Backdrop plan support has been enhanced to support non-square plans and automatic scaling of plans.
	Five New Import Formats (3D Canvas Pro Feature) Maya (rtg) RealiMation 4.1 (rbs) StereoLithography (stl) VideoScape (geo) XYZ (xyz)
	Eleven New Export Formats (3D Canvas Pro Feature) Lightscape (lp) Open Inventor (iv) Maya (ma) Quicktime 3D Metafile (3dmf) RealiMation 4.1 (rbs) Softimage 3.5 (xsi) StereoLithography (stl) TurboSilver (ts) VideoScape (geo) Viewpoint (mtx) X3D (X3D)
	Anisotropic Filtering Textures can be filtered using Anisotropic filtering.
	Improved Point and Face Selection The selection of points and faces on heavily deformed objects is now more accurate.
	Improved Outline Rendering Mode Outline mode now renders lines more clearly.
	Hardware Anti-aliasing of Snapshots and Videos (3D Canvas Pro Feature) 3D Canvas now renders snapshots and videos using hardware anti-aliasing.
	New Edge Operation Features The Edge operation can now create edges between existing edges. It also allows multiple points to be joined in a single operation.
	Enhanced Group Selection Tool The Group Selection Tool can now be used to select multiple edges.
	Rendering of Complex Faces 3D Canvas now renders concave and highly distorted faces
	New Import Options There are nine new import options including automatic centering with a scene, resizing, creasing, defaulting textures and geometry manipulation options.
	Hover Object Details Hovering the cursor over an object now displays the name of the object, the size of the object, the number of faces and points, and the name of the texture applied to the object
	Hover Position Details The position the cursor is hovering over is now displayed.
	Distance From Selected Point Displayed When a point on an object is selected, the distance from the selected point to the hover position, or point position is displayed.
	Improved Consolidate and Merge Triangles Operations (3D Canvas Pro Feature) These operations can now optionally merge faces and triangles of dissimilar materials.
	Improved Support For Materials during Import and Export Translucency, specular, ambient and diffuse material properties are now preserved during import and export.
	Improved Support for Non-Square Textures Non-square textures are now displayed in the original proportions.
	Improved Import and Export Speed Files now import and export more quickly.
	Improved support for Targa and PNG textures 3D Canvas now loads Targa and PNG textures more quickly.

 Requires a 3D graphics card that supports this feature.
