Maxon Computer, a subsidiary of Nemetschek Group of Germany, has announced today at Siggraph 2008, the next version of its award-winning 3D software suite, Cinema 4D R11 (release 11). This is big news for Mac users because it marks the first fully native Mac OS X Leopard 64-bit capable 3D package. Only under Leopard does the all-new Cocoa-based architecture support the advantages of 64-bit processing, enabling very large memory assignments to large 3d projects. Other highlights include a new global illumination (GI) render engine and non-linear animation system.

Vue 7

e-on Software has made a major announcement with a brand new Vue-7 series of products for natural 3D environment creation design. The fully native Mac OS X applications includes anew Radiosity renderingengine, the 3rd generation patented EcoSystem, and a new Spectral 2 atmospheric engine.
