Martin Würthner of
MW Software has announced new versions of
AWViewer (the free Artworks file viewer) and
AWRender (the module that actually does the hard work of rendering the files; as used by AWViewer and many 3rd-party applications). Now called AWRender Plus, to signify the massive update, the improvements are:
Files that use deep sprites now work
Sprites are now rendered correctly in deep-colour modes (32K and 16M)
New objects and fill types as added by the range of plug-in modules now render properlyIt is also now 32-bit compatible; with rendering speeds on an IYONIX being at least twice that as on a StrongARM RPC (all you lucky IYONIX owners should already have a copy, as it came with the machine). All of this is free to download, but if you find them useful, Martin asks you to make a £10 donation to support future development.
Artworks 2 is scheduled to be released at the end of March, and as well as being 32-bit compatible, will also have a revised user interface and other additional features. It will be avaliable as a chargeable upgrade for existing users of Artworks and as a seperate product.

Speaking of 32-bit compatibility, there's been some rather interesting news about Aemulor (the 26-bit emulator for the IYONIX) recently. Drobe have written a very nice article about it, and there's a thread running in our forums.

Don't you just hate it when truncation spoils a perfectly good joke? |
