Version 1.6.0 features in detail
The example image shows a portion of the front crush structure of an automotive vehicle being subjected to deformation by a rigid block. With the old lighting [left], the colours were oversaturated and the edges and feature lines were more difficult to discern. The new lighting [right] has improved saturation and shading, allowing you to distinguish features and visualise your results with greater clarity.
