At this point in time, there are only 2 posts with little to nothing in terms of new information about V4. So far, about the only thing new mentioned was the “Advanced Modeler” which, if you had been keeping up with Swift 3D, is a feature that has been known about for some time now.
Expect more updates soon. Swift 3D V4 is supposed to be release in “early June.”
So I got my v4 today. Came in a cool tin box (erain has always done well with presentation in their packaging) and a quick and easy install of v4. The first thing I noticed is the improved navigation in perspective view. OH LORD does that make me happy! The hardware accelleration is also a treat along with the much needed advanced modeler (which would have been a pain in the tookus had not been for the improved navigation).
Overall, its not a super jump in advancement, but its well deserved and enough to keep me from ever using 3 again (unlike Flash MX 2004).
Yes v4 is a very good improvement. There are still those very irritating things, that you will find out very soon. But its all good. Unfortuantely I have discovered Silo and cannot seem to put it down. I was on the beta team…I thought I would get me shipped copy b4 everyone else…grrrr :bad:
