    SU Podium V2.9 has been released. It is a free upgrade for SU Podium Version 2 owners. Please download it from the Version 2 page.
    SU Podium V2.10 will be released in a few days. What are the significant points to V2.10?
  • And updated rendering engine that handles the edges between maksed images and alpha transparent backgrounds. Much cleaner.
  • AA materials. Now you can decide how much anti-aliasing you want on a specific material. This comes in handy for example, if you have a leaf material assigned to hundreds of leaves. You can still keep high anti-aliasing quality globally but for the leaf material have no anti-aliasing assigned to it. This will improve the speed of the anti-alaising portion of Podium's calculations.
  • Podium Styles have been included in the install. You no longer need to download Podium sky styles separately. This is great for customers who do not want to use physical sky for certain environments.
  • Bug fix for the SU Podium Browser load problem that some people were experiencing.
