Hi, I have ViaCAD Pro v7, I wanted to upgrade to v9; However, I noticed that on the beta and trial versions of Pro V9, there are missing features related to photo rendering compared with V7. V7 has HDRI, Lens Flare & Global illumination which seems to be missing on the builds I tried. Are those features missing because they are Beta/trials?

Encore had us remove HDRI and special effects in 8 or 9 from Pro. Let me see if that is still their intent.

Thanks Tim. Please let me know their response. It just doesn't seem right to upgrade and lose some features I use.

Regards,

I brought it up at a recent development meeting with Encore. They are reconsidering but did not give a date.
