Modern 3D Graphics Power

[Xhris]

I'm going through a "use modern technology" phase at the moment. It occured to me that Xara3D could benefit in future versions by making use of modern graphics hardware to add additional features and speed. High end features such as bump and parallax mapping, high level antialiasing and anisotropic filtering, and advanced lighting would be a breeze for modern cards. Whether some of these features would have value in a product marketed at mere 3D logos and headings is open to debate; however, if 3D were ever incorporated into Xara Xtreme, the justification for making use of these features is increased.

If you don't already have a copy, go out and get SketchUp. Google bought it and is giving it away for FREE. When I bought my copy I paid $450 for it.
