A completely rewritten light system gives the user more sophisticated shader-based materials and visual effects. The new physics system based on the Nvidia PhysX engine introduces features such as character controller, rigid body and fluid.

“EON 7.0 is a major mile stone for EON Reality in our now over 10 years of 3D interactive software development. In a market situation when many companies are cutting back on R&D EON has been more aggressive and launched several new products in the past 12 months. For our users EON 7.0 will include many new and exciting features such as a new physics system with support for fluids and particles, new updated importers, a new light editor to make it easier to use advanced lighting features and materials. Now we look forward to see this great new software being applied and adding to the bottom line for our clients,” said Mats W. Johansson, President, EON Reality.

The EON 7.0 release also marks a new chapter in EON’s software history by offering the user the possibility to install and use many different versions of EON on the same computer at the same time, side by side. This means we can progressively remove the support of old, seldom used functionality and introduce fundamental changes without jeopardizing the stability of the existing EON applications.
