New beta of ppModeler with the feature of the alpha and new enhancement:

almost flickering free (not completly, but will come);

There is a rendering raytracer included:
Press F7 and drag a rectangle in a view...
or used the raytrace item in thee rendering menu and
play will all the options.
This release improve rendering speed, and add tone mapping and
post filtering (like Depth of Filed, Bloom, Lens Flare, smooth and sharpen...).
There is now a new executable: ppRender, to render scene outside ppModeler (external rendering is much quicker). Currently, all the rendering parameter are not saved, but this will come soon, and you still can try it and send back your comments...

a new simple but usefull feature:
shift-right click on a face, an edge or a vertex to switch to the
corresponding toolbox and select it (don't work in the mesh toolbox).

There is a new ribbon toolbox, to create hairs, but still in its infancy.

Now, ppModeler mixes curves and meshes. In order to create a mesh based on curves (like tube, lath) select the needed curves and activate the creation.

The direction is now part of the parameter, and the manipulators display numerical values.

Add a script to add light on faces of a mesh. work great for creating light domes.

Add the possibility to select multiple lights and change the value of multiple light at a time.

Add the shadow and the highlight color attributes to lights.

Add a new skydome mesh, with automatic texture generation.

Start to work on animation, but not available yet... stay tuned!!!
