FlexSim 7- A First Look

This thread will highlight some of the new features that will be coming out later this year in version 7 of FlexSim. There will also be a video series called "Feature Preview" that will posted on the FlexSim blog that will even give you more insight to version 7.

This first post will highlight the new animation engine. The new version will allow import of many more file types. One of those will be AC3D files. Below is the list (subject to change):

*.wrl; *.3ds; *.dxf; *.stl; *.skp; *.dae; *.obj; *.ac; *.x; *.ase; *.ply; *.ms3d; *.cob;*.md5mesh; *.irr; *.irrmesh; *.ter; *.lxo; *.csm; *.scn; *.q3o; *.q3s; *.raw; *.off; *.mdl; *.hmp; *.scn; *.xgl; *.zgl; *.lvo; *.lvs; *.blend

FlexSim 7 will support shadows and bump map textures. Below is a couple of screen shots. I hope this starts to whet your appetite.

Guys this looks good. Keep up the good work.
Just wonderering if we need to change the graphis cards requirements?
I am not worried about my card, but there are usres with less quality cards.

DJ

Can you make any laptop recommandations for this new version?

Thanks,

Carsten



P.S.: It looks great!

Graphic card requirements will not change.

Great news there Bill, that will make life a lot easier when importing customers objects.

Bill, the movie won't play. Doesn't look good in firefox and in internet explorer it looks good but pressing play, nothing happens

The video shows only the FlexSim Logo. It looks like that the forum cuts off some html-code for self-protection.

I will re-post it when I can get it working
