The Technology Tribe
The Shade 10 E release team has been hard at work with preparing Shade 10 E for market and its looking good. There are a huge number of workflow based improvements, feature enhancements and strictly speaking – brand new features.
Much of the work related to Shade 10 E is focused squarely on localization, re-writing much of the support material, but there’s been a few technical updates that will likely get rolled back into the Japanese version.
Mirye Software Publishing began publishing Shade in January, 2009. We’ve gotten a lot of coverage for Shade since then – a full review of Shade 9 Pro in 3D World Magazine and a cover disk offering in 3D Artist magazine. Shade 9 was mostly ready to ship when Mirye picked up publishing rights, but Shade 10 has since been shipping in Japan. Im writing a series of article for The Shade Blog on the new features of Shade 10.
The first article was on the changes to the Shade figure window, but the second one is much more substantial – the 3D manipulator tool. Check out Shade 10: Introducing the 3D Manipulator.
I am happy to say that Shade 3D is back with the release of Shade 9 through Mirye Software. You can download a 30 day trial of Shade 9 through Shadetrial.com. Shade is a powerful, professional 3D software with unique modeling, animation and rendering capabilities and available for Mac OS X and Windows. (more…)
