Hybrid Software, the leading innovator in 3D packaging design software, announces the release of iC3D Version 10. This new version brings significant enhancements and essential fixes, reinforcing Hybrid’s commitment to providing industry-leading 3D solutions for packaging designers and manufacturers.
Heath Luetkens, Hybrid Software’s 3D Graphics Business Manager, said the launch is in keeping with a vision of continuous innovation for the benefit of the packaging industry: “the deep integration with our recently acquired Capture 3D technology for accurate metal can printing strengthens our comprehensive suite of solutions for both brands and packaging converters, offering a suite of high-quality tools that the entire value chain relies on.”
Version 10 of iC3D introduces several revolutionary features designed to enhance the user experience and expand creative capabilities:
Advanced Warp Template: The new advanced warp template, integrated with Hybrid Software’s Capture 3D distortion software for metal cans, allows users to select scanned model data, set parameters for the distortion grid and generate designs for use in PACKZ.
This enhancement optimizes the design process for metal can packaging, ensuring supreme quality and accurate printing.
In addition, iC3D’s photorealistic 3D live visualization unlocks new opportunities for branding and innovation in metal can packaging.
Enhanced OpenGL Viewer: The updated OpenGL viewer, or “Standard” view , now includes improved material rendering, offering more realistic visuals.
This viewer features tools for smooth color proofing and facilitates client feedback through a secure web browser.
In addition, it integrates seamlessly with Hybrid Software’s production workflow suite, CLOUDFLOW, ensuring a smooth and efficient production process.
Volumetric Transformation: A new option within Transforms allows users to adjust the size of a model using volumetric information.
This feature is particularly beneficial for creating accurate bottle models, as it allows scaling based on volumetric calculations.
With these new enhancements and many additional improvements, iC3D users will experience a significant increase in their design efficiency and overall 3D experience.
