Rampage0007 Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 I appologize if this question is in the wrong place, but I couldnt find the info through several searches. I currently use version 12, and am seriously considering upgrading to 13. I was just curious what the new features are in 13 and if you guys thought it was worth the money to upgrade??

KenH Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 You would be upgrading to v14 at this stage (or at least have access to it). SSS (how light goes through wax) has been added and there are render improvements. Also, some nice new touches here and there.....like bones turning blue when your on the same frame as they're keyframes. Also, you'll have the latest model format and won't have any incompatibility issues as you may have had with v12. I'd say it's worth it and Martin would appreciate the extra few bob to mend his shoes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itsjustme Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 Baking of constraints (which allows FK and IK to switch seamlessly), MirrorBone plugin, Transfer_AW plugin, SVN (for collaborating on projects like TWO), improved displacement maps, Ambient Occlusion...I'm sure I'm forgetting some things, but those are worth the price to me.

KenH Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 SSS only works in a "Render to file" as it needs all the elements in the shot to be calculated. So, it won't work with section rendering (Q/Shift Q). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
