LDView version 3.0 Beta 1 is now available for public testing, in both source
and binary forms for Windows and Linux. You can find both at the new LDView web
page on SourceForge.net:
http://ldview.sourceforge.net/
This is an official public beta test for LDView 3.0. LDView 3.0 has an entirely
new back end (both the rendering engine, and the LDraw file loading engine).
This allows for a few new features that would have been very difficult before.
However, it also means that there’s a much greater potential for problems than
in past releases. I’ve tried to reduce the number of problems by going through
three private alpha test releases. I want to thank my alpha testers for their
feedback.
This version has a bunch of new features, as well as a fair number of bug fixes.
Also, thanks to Peter Bartfai’s hard work, the Linux version has finally been
brought up-to-date. Testing of the Linux version would be greatly appreciated.
The following is a short list of some of the more major new features:
- Significantly reduced memory usage and load time on large models.
- BFC (back-face culling) support.
- Toolbar for quick access to certain functionality.
Please see the full change history
here.
Note that the official LDView email address has also changed. The new one is
ldview@gmail.com. The new LDView home page reflects this change.
