Hybrid Software, the innovative leader in 3D packaging design software, is thrilled to announce the launch of iC3D Version 10. This latest release comes with significant enhancements and crucial fixes, demonstrating Hybrid’s dedication to offering top-tier 3D solutions for packaging designers and manufacturers.
“Our tenth release of iC3D showcases our ongoing commitment to innovation for packaging professionals,” stated Heath Luetkens, Hybrid Software Business Manager – 3D Graphics. “The deep integration with our recently acquired Capture 3D technology for accurate metal can printing strengthens our comprehensive solution suite for brands and packaging converters, providing a high-quality set of tools trusted along the entire value chain.”
Enhancements in iC3D’s 10th Release
iC3D version 10 introduces several revolutionary features aimed at enhancing user experience and expanding creative capabilities:
Advanced Warping Template: The new advanced warping template, integrated with Hybrid Software’s Capture 3D distortion software for metal cans, enables users to select scanned model data, set parameters for the distortion grid, and generate designs for use in PACKZ. This streamlines the design process for metal can packaging, ensuring top-notch quality and precise printing. Furthermore, iC3D’s photorealistic live 3D viewing opens up new possibilities for branding and innovation in metal can packaging.
Improved OpenGL Viewer: The updated OpenGL viewer, or “Standard” view, now includes enhancements to material rendering, providing more realistic visuals. This viewer offers tools for soft proofing and facilitates customer feedback through a secure web browser. It also seamlessly integrates with Hybrid Software’s workflow production suite, CLOUDFLOW, ensuring a seamless and efficient production process.
Volumetric Transform: A new option within Transforms allows users to adjust a model’s size using volumetric information. This feature is particularly useful for creating accurate bottle models, enabling scaling based on volumetric calculations.
With these new enhancements and numerous additional improvements, users of iC3D will notice a substantial increase in their design efficiency and overall 3D experience.
