“Our tenth release of iC3D is a testament to our continued innovation on behalf of packaging professionals,” said Heath Luetkens, Hybrid Software Business Manager – 3D Graphics. “The deep integration with our recently acquired Capture 3D technology for accurate metal can printing strengthens our comprehensive solution suite for both brands and packaging converters, delivering a high-quality suite of tools trusted by the entire value chain.”

Enhancements in iC3D’s 10th Release

iC3D version 10 introduces several groundbreaking features designed to improve the user experience and expand creative capabilities:

• Advanced Warping Template: The new advanced warping 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 streamlines the design process for metal can packaging, ensuring supreme quality and accurate printing. Additionally, iC3D’s photorealistic live 3D viewing unlocks new opportunities for branding and innovation in metal can packaging.
• Improved OpenGL Viewer: The updated OpenGL viewer, or “Standard” view, now includes enhancements to material rendering, offering more realistic visuals. This viewer features tools for soft proofing and facilitates customer feedback through a secure web browser. Additionally, it integrates seamlessly with Hybrid Software’s workflow production suite, CLOUDFLOW, ensuring a smooth and efficient production process.
• Volumetric Transform: A new option within Transforms allows users to adjust a model’s size using volumetric information. This feature is particularly beneficial for creating accurate bottle models, as it enables scaling based on volumetric calculations.

With these new enhancements and many additional improvements, users of iC3D will experience a significant boost in their design efficiency and overall 3D experience.
