Cheetah3D 3.1 is mainly a bug fix release, but it also contains some powerful new features. The biggest enhancement in version 3.1 is the new "Smart Folder" object. This allows external 3D files to be linked into a Cheetah3D scene without actually importing them. This is especially helpful if you need to keep some of your models separated from your Cheetah3D scene setup. For example, if you want to render an architectural model created with an CAD application. And should the the external file be edited at any time, Cheetah3D automatically reloads the model for you!
Cheetah3D 3.1 also offers auto-highlighting for the select tool, an accelerated raytracer and many other small enhancements.
