Release Ventuz 3 V3.02 - Browse!

  

This new release brings with it a multitude of novelties. First and foremost: the web browser node. This new little feature allows you to embed fully functional websites into Ventuz, including Flash and JavaScript. Unfortunately, this node is only available on 64bit systems if the 32bit Ventuz setup is installed.

Apart from that, there is a new and improved geometry-importer available now, which is a lot easier to handle than the old one. Additionally, the Advanced Image Loader can now also import images with imported 3D objects.

And we would like to mention one more thing, which is a nice little snippet: The user can now override the project setting stored in a Ventuz Presentation (.vpr) by selecting 'Configure' from the Windows Explorer context menu – for even more flexibility!
