Bricksmith 2.4 adds the following features:
  • Drawing speed improvements of up to 1200%
  • 64-bit native on Mac OS X 10.6
  • Viewports fill their entire frame
  • Supports displaying the newly-standardized direct RGB color syntax
  • Supports displaying legacy blended colors from the original LDRAW
  • Saved files are formatted in traditional LDraw text style instead of fixed-width columns
It also fixes the following bugs:
  • Fixed part selection failures for certain indirectly-referenced objects
  • Eliminated several extra redraws
You read that right: Bricksmith 2.4 is over ten times faster than Bricksmith 2.3 on a computer with a good graphics card. (Even with a woefully underpowered graphics card, you’ll still see a huge improvement.) Bricksmith 2.4 actually achieves a faster framerate than LDView on my computer. Now you can enjoy real-time interaction with models containing thousands of pieces!

Bricksmith requires Mac OS X 10.5 or later, and may be download it at http://bricksmith.sourceforge.net/. It is both Intel and PowerPC native.

Sincerely,
Allen Smith
